At WWE Clash At The Castle, Austin Theory was on the receiving end of the latest name change in WWE. Theory got his first name, Austin, back after losing it earlier this year. Although he got a name change, Theory was on the losing side in his match, as he and Alpha Academy lost to Madcap Moss and the Street Profits in the opening pre-show match.

Ford tagged in and hit a dropkick on Gable before taunting the crowd. Ford went for a leapfrog, but Gable caught him with an ankle lock. Theory hit a chop block on Ford before he and Gable tossed Ford onto the ring post, sending him to the outside. Back in the ring, Theory punched Ford in the face before laying his knee on the back of Ford’s neck in the middle rope. Otis tagged in and hit a body slam and a running splash on Ford. Gable got Ford in a version of arm drag before he attacked Dawkins. Ford hit a double DDT on Theory & Gable before tagging in Moss. Moss hit a shoulder tackle, a lariat, a pounce on Theory, and a shoulder tackle on Gable. Theory hit a rolling elbow on Moss, but Dawkins caught him with a back elbow, an enziguri, and a twisting double under-hook neck breaker for a near fall. Dawkins punched Theory, but Gable hit Dawkins with a chaos theory on Dawkins for a near fall. Theory hit a shotgun dropkick on Dawkins, but Ford caught him with a shoulder tackle, but Otis caught Ford with a shoulder tackle. Moss hit a shoulder tackle and a fall-away slam on Otis to a thunderous ovation from the crowd, but Gable tossed him out of the ring. Dawkins got Gable on his shoulder outside the ring before Ford turned a Tope Con Giro to the outside into a Blockbuster on Gable onto everyone outside. Back in the ring, Ford hit a Frog Splash on Gable for the pinfall win.
