Sami Zayn vs. Braun Strowman – Last Man Standing Match
Sami has a black eye. He began the match from outside by using a kendo stick. He started attacking him with it but Strowman grabbed it and broke it in half. Zayn then found another stick outside and even hit Strowman in the side of his head.
Strowman broke the stick once more, and Zayn tried to do a backflip off the barricade but was caught by Strowman. He then slammed Strowman into the posts twice. Sami tried doing the flying DDT in between the ropes but was struck by Strowman. Total dominance by Strowman. Whatever little offence Sami managed to get, it was stopped by Strowman.
After the commercial break, Braun Strowman and Sami Zayn were beside the announcer's desk. Zayn started to move away in order to search for weapons. Things moved backstage, where Zayn took a lead pipe and sent Strowman to the equipment.
Strowman didn’t sell much and tossed Sami on top of the equipment cases. Strowman threw one of the equipment cases towards Sami but he escaped it. Zayn then started using a steel chair and Strowman moved back outside.
Strowman finally managed to take the steel chair away and began decimating him on the entrance ramp, slamming him towards the screen. Zayn got hold of the steel chair once more and got Strowman down the ramp through two tables. Both competitors got up, and Strowman began dominating shortly thereafter, power slamming Sami outside the ring.
Strowman managed to finish Zayn, and Foley came out with medical staff, putting Zayn on a stretcher. Strowman then pulled Zayn out of the stretcher and left.
Result: Braun Strowman defeated Sami Zayn.
