The two big men finally faced off with no interruption

Dain started off with a headbutt after the staredown. After a battle of power, Dain hit an incredible suicide dive. When he tried to follow it up, he was caught and the freight train Lars Sullivan slammed him down.

Sullivan would start hammering Dain with fists of his own inside the ring, after which he suplexed the Beast Of Belfast. Sullivan even climbed to the top turnbuckle and jumped on Dain, much to the surprise of the crowd. Killin Dain's nose appeared to be busted open.

Sullivan then lifted the apron and threw three chairs into the ring. He didn't listen to the crowd's "we want tables" chant. He slammed the chair to Dain's midsection and tried to put it around his neck, but Killian fought back and hit a vicious running dropkick.

Dain even hit a Vader Bomb but Sullivan powered out. At this point, Dain's beard started getting coloured with blood. Dain obliged to the crowd's chant, picking a table from under the ring.

He slowed down the pace, driving a chair to the back of Sullivan. He lifted the table against the turnbuckle and continued to punish Sullivan.

Sullivan placed a chair onto Dain, and when he tried a dive from the top rope, Dain moved out, leaving Lars' head nowhere to go but on the chair.

An exchange saw Dain finally send Lars Sullivan through the table. After putting a chair on Sullivan, he teased a coast to coast, but Sullivan got up on time.

Candice would soon start to fight back, with Gargano and the audience cheering her on. She hit a missile dropkick from the top turnbuckle onto Vega, who kicked out.

LeRae landed a Gargano escape on Vega and when Almas tried to break it up, Gargano hit a hurricanrana and a Gargano escape onto Almas.
