Six professional wrestling matches were contested at the event.[3] The main event was a sixty-minute Iron Man match, in which Battle of Los Angeles winner Mike Bailey challenged Daniel Garcia for the PWG World Championship. The match ended in a tie until Garcia won in overtime to retain the title.[4] Maintaining the element of surprise of Mystery Vortex, no matches were announced beforehand and featured many surprise returns and debuts. Notably, All Elite Wrestling star Jon Moxley made his surprise PWG debut by defeating Titus Alexander.[5] The event also featured the surprise return of former PWG World Champion Roderick Strong after a seven-year absence, having last appeared for the promotion at Thirteen in 2016. Strong defeated Michael Oku in his return match.[6]
