This was every bit of a hoss fight that you could have imagined between these three huge men. Lashley and McIntyre looked to take out their larger adversary with a stunning double vertical suplex. The two men then went at it, taking the action to the floor where Braun amazed everyone with a diving somersault off the apron.
