Ambrose knocks Sheamus from the ring and hits a suicide dive, then rolls him into the ring and connects with the diving elbow. The lights go out, Harper and Rowan show up, and Sheamus connects with a Brogue Kick outside. He hits another inside for the win.

Winner: Sheamus via pinfall (Brogue Kick)

- We see a comic-book style promo for Neville/Stardust, which is way better than any match they've had. Neville says that he's going to teach Stardust a lesson, and the altitude era is now. Stardust appears on the TV laughing maniacally when he leaves. That was pretty good.

Neville vs. Adam Rose

Rose takes control early and beats Neville down in the corner before getting a one count on a suplex. Rose gets clocked going for a dive and kicked to the mat. Another big kick to the head sends Rose outside where Neville gets an Asai Moonsault. Red Arrow. Ballgame.

Kevin Owens vs. Rusev (w/ Summer Rae)

Rusev rushes the ring and attacks Owens as we go to a commercial. We come back to see Owens in control, methodically beating down a a grounded Rusev. Finally the former Alexander hits a fallaway slam but walks into a superkick. Cannonball from Owens connects in the corner for two.

Owens does a Codebreaker, and then applies a headlock before slugging Rusev with punches. The Bulgarian comes back with a swinging back suplex and a spinning heel kick. A superkick floors Owens, but KO ditches the match and loses via countout.

Winner: Rusev via countout

- Cesaro says he's made a lot of sacrifices and it's all been worth it, and tells people that the American Dream is alive. Kevin Owens comes backstage and tells Cesaro that nobody cares, and he abandoned his family. Cesaro says Owens abandons all of his matches, and tells him not to choke on a sandwich like he choked against John Cena.

Team B.A.D (w/ Tamina) vs. Bella Twins (w/ Alicia Fox)

Nikki Bella takes Naomi down with an arm drag and a spinebuster, but she kicks out. The twins hit Naomi with a double flapjack, but Naomi fights back and tags Sasha in, who gets put into a headscissors by Nikki, while the champ does pushups. Brie then goes for the Brie mode knee, but gets superkicked by Tamina as we go to commercial.
