We open with a list of names that Shield has taken down in the last week. Tonight Shield is in singles matches against various people.
Seth Rollins vs. Kane
Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan
Back with Bryan trying to speed things up but getting caught by another clothesline for two. Bryan gets all fired up and hits a hard set of kicks to the chest followed by a running dropkick in the corner for two of his own. Reigns drills him in the stomach to slow Bryan down but Bryan hooks the NO Lock out of nowhere. Reigns crawls over to the ropes but only gets there with Seth pushing the rope towards him. Kane goes after Rollins but hits Reigns for the DQ at 9:20.
Curtis Axel vs. Sin Cara
Axel hits a quick backbreaker and dropkick to take over before ripping at the mask a bit. After a quick chinlock Sin Cara comes back with some kicks of his own, followed by a springboard crossbody. A Tajiri elbow is countered by a forearm to the back of the head though and a PerfectPlex ends Cara at 2:00.
Big E. Langston vs. Alberto Del Rio
Langston pounds him into the corner to start and fires off some shoulders, but Del Rio comes back with a kick to the ribs. Big E. drapes him across the top rope and Del Rio is right back down. Del Rio comes back with more kicks and a running clothesline, only to walk into a belly to belly for two. The Backstabber staggers Langston and a German suplex puts him down again.
Kofi Kingston vs. Ryback
Post match Ryback powerbombs Kofi through three tables.
Jericho talks about all the diseases Punk has from sleeping with dogs like Heyman.
Chris Jericho vs. Cody Rhodes
Wyatt Family video. These guys are awesome.
Randy Orton vs. Dean Ambrose
Post match HELL NO comes in for the save, with Bryan down almost all of the work himself, and Shield is sent running. A HUGE YES chant ends the show.
