In case you didn't know...

One of the most memorable moments of the show was during the main event where Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins teamed up against Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, but when McIntyre was whipped into the ropes mid-match by Rollins, the top rope completely snapped and McIntyre then fell out of the ring.

The match continued without a top rope and the two former Shield members picked up the win before Rollins then celebrated by swinging the broken rope above his head and almost taking out his own partner.

The heart of the matter

The ring wasn't the only thing having some difficulties in Anaheim since former Cruiserweight Champion Kalisto took on Cedric Alexander and the current Champion accidentally ripped off his mask. Kalisto was then forced to hide his face in the corner whilst the referee picked up the mask from the centre of the ring and hand it over to him.

The high flyer then rolled out of the ring to put his mask back on before the duo could resume the match. It was Alexander who came out on top in the end, but since it was a face vs face match, Alexander raised Kaito's hand after the match as a way of showing him some respect.

What's next?

This isn't the first time Kalisto's mask has come off mid-match and it happened to Rey Mysterio a number of times too. It's something that is unavoidable and WWE won't change anything about Kalisto because of it.
