Dolph Ziggler, WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens & Baron Corbin vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles and Sami Zayn
The match got underway after all the competitors made their entrances. Two men who’ve known each other all too well as of late – Ziggler and Nakamura kicked off the match. Ziggler tipped the scales in the favour of the heels as he took Nakamura down with a kick after withering the early storm.
KO got into the action and pushed The Artist into the corner. Quick tags by the heel team as Cornin was next to come in. He shoved his boot into Nakamura’s face into the corner. Ziggler came back in and applied the chin lock. Nakamura though broke out of it and landed an elbow to create separation. He somehow made it to his corner and made the tag to AJ Styles while the fans chanted Ole.

However, a clothesline gave Zayn some space and he then went on to throw both Ziggler and Owens out of the ring. Corbin attempted a slam but Zayn reversed just in time. Just as he was about to make the tag, however, Styles and Shinsuke get tripped off the apron by Ziggler and Owens. The exhausted Sami Zayn managed to connect a Helluva kick on Corbin for the win.
Result: Styles, Nakamura and Zayn def. Owens, Corbin and Ziggler
It was complete pandemonium after the match ended as Ziggler began to attack Zayn. A ladder got introduced by Owens, who along with Ziggler took Styles out with the steel structure. Corbin took the Face Of America and The Show Off out before more damage was done. Corbin then set up the ladder and proceeded to climb up to the briefcase only to be stopped by the Artist himself.
Shinsuke Nakamura pushed the ladder with Corbin on it and hit the Lone Wolf with the Kinshasa. He then made his way up to the top of the ladder and unhooked the MITB briefcase, making a big statement to end the show with the fans in New Orleans chanting his name. Does this mean Nak Nak isn’t winning if WWE’s booking pattern is taken into consideration? Only time will tell!
