- The Naomi vs Lana match ended as soon as it started as Naomi put Lana in a Headscissors Crucifix Choke and the Ravishing Russian tapped out.

- The Randy Orton vs Aiden English ended in disqualification for The Viper as he repeatedly beat English with various objects to possibly send a message to Jinder Mahal. 

- The Independence Day Battle Royal had 15 wrestlers compete for a chance to face Kevin Owens at Battleground. In the end, it came down to Sami Zayn and AJ Styles - the last two in the ring. Styles hit Zayn with a Pele Kick and was knocked out of the ring.
