Location: Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Commenators: Tom Phillips, Michae Cole, John Bradshaw Layfield
Roman Reigns vs. Fandango
Quick package on the TLC match.
Usos/Erick Rowan vs. Luke Harper/Miz/Damien Mizdow
We recap Chris Jericho and the cage match from Raw last night.
Ryback vs. Seth Rollins
No match actually as Rusev jumps Ryback during his entrance and knocks him off the stage.
Ascension is coming.
Divas Title: Naomi vs. Nikki Bella
Adam Rose vs. Kane
The Bunny is now in a neck brace. Kane knocks Rose down to start but walks into a clothesline and a high cross body, but Adam stops to dance. The big boot and chokeslam end this in 1:18.
Kane tombstones the Bunny again.
Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler
Non-title. Rollins, sporting bruised ribs, bails to the floor to start before heading back inside, only to have Dolph throw him right back outside. Back in and Seth kicks him in the ribs to take over before dropping Dolph with some clotheslines. Ziggler tries a quick Zig Zag but gets sent to the floor, allowing Noble to get in a cheap shot as we take a break.
Back with Rollins in full control and taking his sweet time hammering on Ziggler. A hard running clothesline puts Dolph down again and Rollins sends him out to the floor. With Noble shouting encouragement in that country accent, Rollins goes up but gets knocked down onto the ribs. Dolph scores with a dropkick for two, ducks the enziguri and nails the running DDT for two more.
Ziggler escapes a beating to end the show.
