Kevin Owens vs. Grayson Waller vs. Andrade

The first MITB qualifier of the night featured Belair, Green, and Yim. Green was sent out of the ring, allowing Michin and The EST to have an exchange. The match lasted only a couple of minutes before another commercial break, so a significant portion of the action was missed. With no allies in the ring or at ringside to assist with cheating, the fight remained competitive throughout. Green stole the win by throwing Belair out of the ring and pinning Yim after a KOD.

In the match between Orton, Hayes, and Tonga, Hayes and Tonga teamed up to strike Orton and take him out of the ring. They worked hard to subdue Orton, but the Viper retaliated with suplexes on both Hayes and Tonga on the announce table. Just as Orton gained the upper hand, Tanga Loa interfered, distracting Orton. Kevin Owens quickly intervened, taking down Tanga Loa, and the distraction allowed Hayes to roll up Orton for a surprising victory.

During Kevin Owens' entrance for the next MITB qualifying match, Loa and Tonga attacked him on the ramp. However, Orton swiftly intervened with a steel chair to fend them off. Despite being half-injured, Owens managed to enter the ring. The match was thrilling, with all the competitors performing exceptionally well, especially Andrade. In the end, Andrade secured the victory by executing his El Idolo finisher on Waller.
