Gunther is out next, and he's greeted by chants of "You tapped out." He is taking out his ire by screaming at the commentators and arguing with Michael Cole. Cole tells Gunther he isn't the one who tapped out, and Gunther loses it. He pushes McAfee away and tries to put Cole in a chokehold.

A-Town Down Under are out next. They thank Rusev for taking out Alpha Academy and want their shot at the titles. War Raiders interrupt and drive them away. The Raiders say that The New Day stole their titles and sent a pretty lame warning to them.
