WINNERS: MJF & Adam Cole ##
MJF takes the center stage, basking in the adoration of the passionate Edmonton crowd, who clearly have a soft spot for both MJF and Adam Cole. MJF suggests another friendly gathering, a "bro session," scheduled for the upcoming weekend. Without hesitation, Cole graciously accepts the invitation, displaying their mutual camaraderie. ##

MJF proceeds to serenade Cole with a rendition of "Happy Birthday," but Cole interrupts him, sensing that something may be awry. He is keenly aware of a hidden motive behind MJF's seemingly friendly gestures. ##
Undeterred, MJF urges Cole to make a wish, subtly attempting to push his face into the cake. However, Cole quickly turns the tables, deftly reversing the situation. Surprisingly, MJF takes it in stride, exhibiting good sportsmanship and maintaining an air of joviality. Cole graciously acknowledges MJF's efforts, expressing his gratitude. ##

Britt Baker vs Ruby Soho in an Owen Hart Tournament match ##
Toni Storm and Saraya make their entrance alongside Ruby, while Britt Baker emerges alone. It seems that, upon turning into a babyface, Baker has momentarily lost her understanding of how heels operate within teams. ##
The match commences with Baker immediately attempting a pinfall and applying the lockjaw submission hold. However, the dynamic shifts when Ruby rolls out of the ring, causing Baker to engage in a confrontation with Toni and Saraya. This distraction grants Ruby the opportunity to gain the upper hand. The underlying narrative of the match revolves around Baker maintaining control when inside the ring, while Ruby seizes the advantage when they venture outside. ##
During an attempt to execute the lockjaw on Baker, Saraya strategically distracts the referee, allowing Toni to hold the title in the opposite corner. Ruby then slams Baker into the title, but the resilient Baker manages to kick out at the count of two. Subsequently, Ruby tries to apply her own version of the lockjaw, only for Baker to skillfully reverse it. Sensing the shift in momentum, Toni and Saraya promptly drag Ruby out of the ring. ##
The match reaches its conclusion when Ruby executes a Victory Roll and cleverly holds onto Toni Storm's hand to secure the pinfall and emerge victorious. ##
WINNER: Ruby Soho ##
Kenny Omega Vs Wheeler Yuta ##
In his long-awaited return since the Forbidden Door was opened, Omega entered the match with his right shoulder and neck taped up. Right from the start, Yuta launched a swift attack, catching Omega off guard. Both competitors engaged in a fierce exchange of chops, but Omega swiftly turned the tide with a devastating assault in the corner, including a high backdrop and a powerful backbreaker. Demonstrating his agility, Omega executed a Kotaro Crusher, but his momentum faltered as he hesitated during the You Can't Escape maneuver, allowing Yuta to counter with raised knees on the ensuing moonsault attempt. ##
Taking advantage of Omega's momentary vulnerability, Yuta targeted the taped-up neck, maintaining control during the commercial break. However, Omega eventually rallied and launched a compelling comeback. He delivered a running palm strike, sending Yuta bouncing like a basketball, followed by a brutal fisherman's buster for a near fall. Yuta managed to evade a V-Trigger and countered with an impressive Angle Slam, nearly securing the victory. Climbing to the top rope, Yuta's hesitation gave Omega the opportunity to swiftly follow and execute a massive leg-trapped superplex. ##
With the match intensifying, both competitors exchanged forearm strikes, and Yuta showcased his skills with a well-executed bridging German suplex, earning another close two-count. Yuta attempted several rolling German suplexes, but Omega fought free and unleashed a punishing V-Trigger to the back, followed by two Snap Dragon suplexes. Yuta came close to a surprise roll-up pin, but Omega responded with a powerful charge and another V-Trigger. ##
In a dramatic turn of events, as Omega prepared to deliver his finishing move, Don Callis made his presence known, prompting security to intervene. Exploiting the distraction, Konosuke Takeshita struck Omega with a Blue Thunder Bomb, followed by a massive splash from Yuta, though it only garnered a two-count. Yuta ascended the ropes, but Omega quickly countered by punching through Yuta's legs, delivering a devastating blow to the face, and finally securing the victory with the One Winged Angel. ##
After the match, Claudio Castagnoli stormed the ring alongside Takeshita, launching an attack on Omega. However, The Young Bucks and Hangman Adam Page rushed to the ring brandishing chairs, evening the odds. Castagnoli suffered a devastating BTE Trigger, but as Page prepared for a chair shot, the Dark Order intervened at the last moment, snatching the chair away. This thrilling main event concluded the show with a tantalizing cliffhanger. ##
WINNER: Kenny Omega ##
