To everyone's surprise, Matt Hardy made his return to in-ring action after being mostly out of it since WrestleMania 35. Hardy's competitor in the ring was Buddy Murphy and Hardy gave the fans a great show where he performed some of his famous moves in typical vintage fashion. However, Murphy started dominating Hardy later in the match and almost knocked him out but the latter managed to execute a reversal and land a 'Side Effect' on Murphy. Later in the match, Hardy got some momentum on his side and tried to land a 'Twist of Fate' on Murphy but a reversal and a strong hit that followed put Hardy out of his comfort zone. As a result, Murphy got the win on Hardy quickly.
