Jay White arrived with Orange Cassidy and Kyle O’Reilly, only to drop Cassidy with the Blade Runner. Juice Robinson, Ace Austin and The Gunns joined the attack on The Conglomeration and Death Riders. Claudio Castagnoli fought off several of them and countered the Gunns’ 3:10 to Yuma before Connors struck him with a tire iron. The group overwhelmed Claudio, with Finlay also hitting him with the shillelagh. White then laid out Moxley with a Blade Runner.
