Highlights:
- John Cena and Randy Orton wrestled their last match, which included referee bumps and appearances from Nick Aldis, producers, and R-Truth.
- Jeff Cobb made his WWE debut by helping Jacob Fatu (who appeared unaware of Solo Sikoa’s plan) to retain the United States Championship.
- Despite Michael Cole getting involved, it wasn’t enough to stop Gunther defeating Pat McAfee. The former World Champion showed some respect to Pat afterwards.
- Finn Balor messed up during Judgment’s Day interference in Dominik Mysterio’s IC title match, which got them ejected. However, he returned to help El Grande Americano to cost Penta the title.
- A frustrated Becky Lynch attacked Lyra Valkyria after losing the Women’s IC title match.
