Alexander Rusev vs R Truth

After Bad News Barrett delivered one of his podium lectures, it was the turn of R Truth and Alexander Rusev to take the stage. The Belgian practically manhandled Truth in the ring, demonstrating his various moves. The one-sided dual ended in Rusev’s favour as the rapping superstar submitted to The Accolade move. Woods attempted to stop the continued destruction after the bell. But he was tossed over the rope by Rusev.

Winner: Alexander Rusev via submission

Santino Marella vs Fandango

This was the second feud in a row between the two superstars where both their female partners were involved. Fandango’s new dancing partner Layla, saved him from being struck by The Cobra. Emma counter assaulted the former Divas Champion and the commotion carried on into the ring where Marella utilized a sunset flip on his smooth-stepping opponent to pick up the three-count.

Winner: Santino Marella via pinfall

Batista vs Sheamus was the main event of the night

Batista vs Sheamus

The match of the night featured two brute strengths face against each other as Sheamus and Batista battled it out in a one-on-one match. Sheamus controlled the first part of the match, Batista took control for a bit, and they ended with a series of signatures and near-falls that led to Batista winning with the Batista Bomb. Both men were taken to the absolute brink and it was a match worthy of being a main event.

Winner: Batista via pinfall
