The Spanish God follows that with a powerbomb to Darby Allin on his own skateboard, and hits his modified GTS finisher for the win. He’ll face Jon Moxley in the second semifinals of the Grand Slam Tournament of Champions next week. Tay slids the skateboard into the ring. Sammy rides it down the ramp after the match.
