While Rusev received a lot of boos from the audience, Rollins had one of the best pops of the night. The match was enjoyable but Lana made several attempts to interfere. Towards the end, she was ejected from ringside after almost costing Rollins the match.

A Pedigree to Rusev helped Rollins to pick up the victory.
