Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Rusev - United States Title match
Rusev started off strong and took the champ to the corner for a few big lariats. Nakamura realized he was in trouble and tried to lock in the Triangle lock as we headed into commercials. Rusev hit a big suplex as we returned and the crowd chanted 'Rusev Day'.
Shinsuke hit knees to the midsection of Rusev and locked in an armbar and then a triangle but Rusev got out. Rusev went for a superplex from the apron but Nakamura kicked him in the head making Rusev fall off the apron. Rusev was being choked out by Nakamura but the Bulgarian got a second wind and hit the spin kick for a near fall.
Rusev hit another big kick and Shinsuke sent him into the steel steps outside. Nakamura then set Rusev up on the apron and hit a knee drop to the back of the head. Rusev got the Machka kick after dodging the Kinshasa but it was two count. Nakamura locked in the triangle but Rusev lifted him and dropped the champ.
Rusev finally connected with the Machka kick and got the three count becoming the new United States champion.
Result: Rusev def. Shinsuke Nakamura to become the new United States champion
Backstage, Mr McMahon pleaded AJ Styles to bring out the monster within him, the true AJ Styles. He punched AJ in the face and AJ went wild, hitting the WWE Chairman and taking him down before the crew came and dragged him away.
