The intensity escalated when MGK discreetly handed Paul a pair of brass knuckles. Despite taking a hard hit to the head, Knight managed to rally and ultimately pinned Paul, seizing the United States Championship.

However, Knight quickly countered with powerful strikes, sending Paul crashing into the barricade. Demonstrating his aggressive style, Knight hurled Paul against the ring apron and into his own Prime hydration station, even using the station as a weapon against Paul.
Paul retaliated by spitting Prime in Knight’s face and slamming him into the ring apron. He then attempted to clear the announce table, but Knight had other plans, smashing Paul’s face into it. Knight launched a Prime bottle at Paul, setting him up for a neckbreaker on the announce table, although the table remained intact. Knight attempted a pin back in the ring, but Paul resiliently kicked out.
The momentum shifted when Knight went for an elbow drop, only to meet Paul’s knees. Paul capitalized, driving Knight into the ring post and delivering a massive lariat. He took a moment to taunt Knight, covering him nonchalantly, but Knight responded with a flurry of strikes and kicks, regaining his footing. Paul countered with a suplex and a pin attempt, but Knight kicked out once again.

Paul, nursing a possibly injured hand, executed an impressive springboard moonsault. He aimed for a knockout punch, nearly securing a pinfall, but Knight persisted, kicking out at two. Paul climbed the ropes but missed a splash, and Knight nearly executed his finishing move, BFT.
Paul attempted to regain control from the top rope, but Knight intercepted him, hitting a superplex. Despite another close pin attempt, Paul kicked out. Seizing an opportunity, Paul gouged Knight’s eyes, unseen by the referee, only for Knight to retaliate with a baseball slide that sent Paul crashing to the floor.
Knight found himself tangled with Paul’s entourage, dragging them over the barricade and delivering a stomp. Paul took advantage of the distraction, slamming Knight into the ring post and rolling him back into the ring.
