Jeff Hardy was out next and unloaded on McIntyre right away. Hardy was overpowered quickly and took a neck breaker but countered the Futureshock DDT. Jeff missed the Whisper in the Wind and got caught in the DDT instead.

Drew hit a Superplex and got his knees up for the Swanton Bomb before hitting the Claymore for the three-count.

Jeff Hardy was eliminated.

Randy Orton came out next and we returned from commercials to see that the fight ended up at ringside when the lights went purple and Alexa's face appeared on literally every screen in the arena. Randy was confused and was counted out before Drew hit a Claymore on him for good measure.

Randy Orton was eliminated.

Sheamus was out last and attacked Drew from behind, getting the advantage on the champ. Drew was quite beat up at the time and Sheamus punished him with chops and holds before Sheamus hit a powerslam for a near fall.

Drew hit the Glasgow Kiss and the Futureshock but failed to pin Sheamus. Drew hit a spine buster but took the Brogue kick before being pinned on RAW.

Result: Sheamus won the Gauntlet match and will enter the Elimination Chamber last

The WINNER of the #GauntletMatch is @WWESheamus!#WWERaw pic.twitter.com/L9RR2bsBcg
