Opening sequence.
Del Rio vs. Styles and Jericho vs. Zayn tonight, both for the first time ever.
Zack Ryder vs. Baron Corbin
Emma vs. Paige
We recap the first two tournament matches and the debut of Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.
Tag Team Tournament First Round: Enzo Amore/Colin Cassady vs. Ascension
AJ Styles vs. Alberto Del Rio
Tag Team Tournament First Round: Vaudevillains vs. Goldust/Fandango
We look back at Dean Ambrose taking over the Highlight Reel and laying Jericho out.
Greetings From Puerto Rico video.
Sami Zayn vs. Chris Jericho
Back with Owens on commentary as well and actually complimenting Dean on the new show. Jericho knocks Zayn outside and poses a bit before a top rope back elbow gets two. We hit the ASK HIM chinlock as Dean and Owens get in a mini argument, resulting in Owens throwing away his flier. Sami gets a quick two off a high cross body and the climb up the corner tornado DDT gets the same. The Helluva Kick misses though and the Walls go on to put Sami in real trouble.
Sami and Dean clean house to end the show and likely set up a tag match.

Baron Corbin b. Zack Ryder – End of Days
Emma b. Paige – Emma pinned Paige after dropping her onto the top turnbuckle
