Seth with a suicide dive to Elias! He throws him back in and goes for another suicide dive to Lashley and gets it. Step-up enziguri, slingblade, and Seth is on fire.

Elias knocks him off. Lashley goes up top with Elias, Seth is back up and gets underneath Lashley, and he executes a buckle bomb to Lashley. Then he goes back up top - SUPERPLEX TO ELIAS INTO THE FALCON ARROW! 1 - 2 - kick out!

Seth takes Elias up to the top rope - looks like he's thinking about a superplex..

SETH WITH A FROG SPLASH OUTTA NOWHERE! Elias throws him out of the ring and gets the cover for himself, but Lashley kicks out again.

Suicide dive from Rollins but Elias dodges it, then drives Lashley head first into the steps. Back into the ring they go, Elias drops the elbow on Lashley but it's only a two count.

Powerslam to Rollins from Bobby, inverted spinebuster to Elias. Close two fall.

Lashley is showcasing his athleticism - great work for a 40+ year old guy.

Elias has Rollins in a sleeper but the fans are getting behind The Architect, but Lashley is back in the equation.

JBL, Bischoff and Prichard on Table For 3 tonight.

The contrast of styles makes this such an intriguing match-up, but the question remains as to whether or not they'll be able to kick it into the next gear.

Cole says 'Who's going to SummerSlam? We'll find out next!' despite the fact we'll only be finding out who faces Roman next week.

Seth Rollins is out next, followed shortly by Bobby Lashley.

He took a shot at The Rock! That's gotta happen soon.

Elias is serenading the world right now.

Who would've thought Riott Squad would still be around to this day?

UP NEXT: the triple threat to determine who will face Roman Reigns in next week's number one contender's match.

That was Ember Moon's first pinfall loss on the main roster.

A distraction from Morgan allows Sarah Logan to pick up a relatively weak win over Ember.

Sarah Logan defeats Ember Moon

Ember with a WICKED suicide dive - the fastest in the business.

A vicious superkick from Ember gets a close two.

Moon starts to pick up some speed, really showing the gulf in in-ring quality between these two.

Great slam by Logan gets a close two. Again, she's green, but there's something there.

A big forearm from Logan allows her to take control of the match, knocking Moon to the outside.

ICYMI: Ruby Riott is currently out of action through injury.

Ember is like a superhero. Great athleticism early on.

It feels like Ember is working on the main roster. Yes? No? Maybe so?

AOP vs Deleter of Worlds vs Sanity vs Bludgeon Brothers. Pretty please?
