Ali nearly had the match in the bag, but T-Bar distracted the referee at the wrong moment. As a result, Riddle kicked out of a pin and caught Ali with a Bro Derek to pick up the victory.

After the match, Riddle escaped an attack from RETRIBUTION, and Ali was angry with his faction for costing him this important match.

While Riddle should have had a dominant first title defense, it was saisfying to watch Ali come close to a monumental win on RAW. The two competitors could face each other again at Fastlane, where Ali could finally win his first title in the company.
