He did a split, then got pulled out of the frame by Taya Valkyrie. We know this because Valkyrie poked her head out and called Castle a loser. This was all quite wacky.

Cartwheel hit a Death Valley Driver and a corkscrew splash for a nearfall. Cruz ripped Cartwheel off the top rope and did a cartwheel of his own. Unfortunately, I missed the move that won the match due to the feed buffering, but Cartwheel won with some type of top rope splash.
Action Andretti defeated Anthony Henry
I don’t know who told Andretti about that water bottle spot, but they aren’t doing him favors. I sound like a broken record when it comes to both Workhorsemen, but Henry looked great here.
Henry took down Andretti with a boot, but Andretti came back with a headscissors. Andretti sent Henry to the floor, but Henry avoided a moonsault and hit an armbreaker off of the stairs.
