Sami Zayn vs Jinder Mahal

Sami Zayn faced tremendous odds in the numbers game

In the early going of the match, Sami Zayn got the better of The Maharaja. Mahal had Zayn in a rest hold after the commercial break. During the commercial break, the Singh brothers distracted Sami, which led to Mahal getting the advantage, shoving him towards the barricade. Mahal was near hitting a suplex from the second turnbuckles, but Sami fought back, dropping Jinder with a headbutt.

After missing a jump from the top turnbuckle, Jinder struck him with a vicious knee, but as he tried to rebound and take another shot, he was met with a clothesline from Zayn. Sami landed a crossbody after that.

Sunil Singh caused the distraction, and Jinder almost scored a small package on Sami. Jinder prevented a blue thunder bomb right after. Sami Zayn was about to hit the Helluva Kick, but Sunil Singh managed to save Jinder. Sami was about to hit a suicide dive outside, but Samir caught his leg. Jinder then hit a full-nelson slam for the win.
