Of course we start with a recap of Reigns beating down HHH on Sunday, setting up his World Title win on Monday night to really stick it to the Authority again.
Ryback vs. Alberto Del Rio
Say it with me: non-title, though in this case it makes a bit more sense as Ryback lost on Sunday. They actually start with some amateur stuff as Ryback takes him to the mat and works on a wristlock. Del Rio tries some right hands in the corner and has to escape a powerbomb attempt.
They botch what looked to be the Thesz press so Ryback throws him down with a gorilla press instead. Ryback gets a bit too cocky though and Del Rio grabs the armbreaker over the ropes to take over. We take a break and come back with Del Rio hitting the chinlock. A FEED ME MORE chant gets Ryback to his feet and a slingshot belly to back suplex breaks the hold.
The League beats Ryback down post match.
We look at Kevin Owens beating up Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler on Monday.
Stills of the tables match on Sunday and the extreme rules match on Monday.
New Day vs. Lucha Dragons
Brie Bella vs. Becky Lynch
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kevin Owens
Ziggler fights back but gets shoved into the steps. Ambrose runs out for the save and Owens runs from the threat of Dirty Deeds, only to superkick Ziggler for a consolation prize. Ambrose tries to help Dolph up and eats a superkick of his own. Owens smiles at everything to end the show.
Results
Alberto Del Rio b. Ryback – Cross armbreaker
Lucha Dragons b. New Day – Rollup to Kingston
Becky Lynch b. Brie Bella – Disarm-Her
