That was random. Oh well. Finn Balor vs Kane is next!

Finn Balor comes out for the save! He's over alright!

By the way, Asuka won in FOUR seconds! Shortest match ever!

Paige said the same thing she did to Sasha. Asuka slides out of the ring and gives her notorious smile!

Asuka is surrounded by the ABSOLUTION.

That has to be a record for the shortest match in WWE history. Right?

The Bell rings. Asuka lock. Game Over.

Dana Brooke vs. Asuka

It's going to be Dana Brooke. Brooke claims that she has figured out a major flaw in Asuka's gameplan. Yeah right!

Moving on, the Empress of Tomorrow makes her way to the ring for a match. Someone is about to job!

A recap of Joe's vicious attack on Reigns aired as the commentators stressed on the Samoan Submission machine's sadistic ways.

Joe goes after Reigns again but is forced out by the referees and Finlay!

Roman Reigns is on the ramp, triumphantly going away. He turns his back to the screen for a second and SAMOA JOE comes out and traps Reigns with the Coquina clutch. THIS IS INTENSE! It looks like Samoa Joe is Roman Reigns' next IC title challenger!

Roman goes for the spear but gets caught with a boot. Roman tricks him in the run-up and manages to land a SPEAR! #Andstill

Roman Reigns defeated Elias

Elias is frustrated. He tries to go for the Drift Away but Roman goes for a small package. Elias escapes and as he runs into Roman, he eats a superman punch, it's only 2!

Roman goes for a Samoan drop but Elias outpowers him. Roman is resting against the turnbuckles and Elias lifts him up with the shoulders. He LITERALLY CHANGED HIS DIRECTION MID-AIR and hit a sit-out powerbomb. Roman kicks out at 2.999! THAT WAS AWESOME!

Axel tries to make the distraction but Roman hits him with a spear. Elias throws Roman into the ringpost and quickly back into the ring. Elias hits an elbow drop from the top rope. It's only 2!

After the break, Roman is gaining some control again. Roman hits two boots and shoves Elias outside the ring. Reigns slides out himself and hits the drive-by.

Elias continues to stay on Roman, having him in the headlock. The Big Dog finally makes the comeback, hitting a series of clotheslines. He then strikes Bo and attempts a strike on Axel but misses. Elias hits Roman with a knee and the commentators scream to make you think that a title change could happen. Of course it didn't and of course it won't! Roman kicks out at 2

Elias is going at Roman as fast as he can, staying on Roman. He even shoves the champion into the ring post.

The crowd is in full "Let's go Roman! Roman sucks". Only the cheers are louder. Interesting. The champ has Elias locked up and shoves him down!

Now that I think about it, I doubt he ever competed for the NXT Championship in NXT.

This is Elias' first title shot of ANY KIND in WWE!

Elias says nobody wants Roman more than him. He tells the Miztourage to sit and the crowd as well. He's about to sing about Roman Reigns and how the IC title walks with Elias. Roman is FINALLY out!

The crowd is chanting "We want Roman!". Maybe this was by design. Large portion is also chanting "No we don't!"
