In a follow-up, Williams revealed him not being at the show was just a ruse and ran out during Hendry’s match with The Hardys against Frankie Kazarian & The Nemeths. Williams yanked Hendry out of the ring while the referee was not looking and causing enough of a distraction for Kazarian & The Nemeths to secure the victory. Following the match, Williams laid out Hendry with a Trick Shot to close out the show.
