We get the Piper tribute video and a nice chant from the crowd.

Opening sequence.

Cue Rusev and Summer Rae, as Rusev has Reigns later tonight. Rusev tells Reigns to get out of the ring right now because he has more interesting things to talk about. Reigns thinks this sounds important but Rusev tells him to be worried about their match later tonight.

New Day vs. Mark Henry/Prime Time Players

Clip of Swerved.

Video on Charlotte.

Charlotte vs. Naomi

Time for a tag match playa! Who knew Mike Chioda was Teddy Long in disguise?

Charlotte/Becky Lynch vs. Naomi/Sasha Banks

Clips of Neville vs. Rollins on Raw.

Stardust vs. Zack Ryder

Stardust is thrilled that Amell is coming to Raw on Monday.

Roman Reigns vs. Rusev

Rusev hammers away in the corner until Reigns powerbombs him down for two more. The Superman Punch connects but Summer starts lurking. Cue Lana for a catfight but Rusev nails Reigns with the superkick for two. Rusev freaks out over Reigns getting up at two and walks around long enough for Reigns to spear him down for the pin at 15:30.
