Kofi Kingston (c) vs. AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn - WWE Champinoship match

AJ Styles started off strong but was caught with a huge splash in the back of the spine by Kofi Kingston. Sami came in after AJ was down, trying to capitalize but AJ recovered and hit Sami with a huge clothesline.

AJ was unloading on Sami in the corner as we returned from commercials and then Kofi went up to the top but Sami caught him with a huge right and hit a massive Superplex. Sami was caught on the top by AJ next who hit a huge move of his own.

Kofi hit an SOS on AJ while Sami was caught in the middle and all three men were down. Moments later, AJ went for a forearm but Kofi kicked him off the apron. Kevin owens came out and attacked Xavier Woods and sent him into the barricade.

Kofi was caught unaware and Sami hit two Blue Thunderbombs but Kofi kicked out both times. Sami hit the third Blue Thunderbomb but Kofi was still not done. Kofi hit the trouble in paradise and got the big win.
