Opening sequence.
Tag Team Titles: New Day vs. Cesaro/Sheamus
New Day is challenging with Big E. on the floor. Cesaro gets beaten down in a hurry with double middle rope elbows and a legdrop for two each. Woods is thrown out to the floor and comes up grabbing his knee as we take a break. Back with Woods diving through the ropes into a tornado DDT to plant Cesaro on the floor.
Video on Brock Lesnar. Goldberg is back next week.
Nia Jax vs. Scarlet
Scarlet is a jobber wearing a Sasha shirt so the destruction is over in 53 seconds off a Samoan drop.
Nia tells Scarlet to choose a better role model and drops the big leg.
Charlotte vs. Bayley
Stephanie yells at Braun, who wants Sami Zayn in a last man standing match next week. The boss agrees, as long as Seth gets the same beating Sami will get.
TJ Perkins vs. Neville
We look back at Enzo Amore getting destroyed by Jinder Mahal and Rusev at sensitivity training.
Shining Stars vs. Bo Dallas/Darren Young
Strowman destroys everyone, including Bob Backlund (though just by proxy).
Seth Rollins vs. Braun Strowman
Post match Braun chases Sami to the back, leaving Rollins to take the Codebreaker from an invading Jericho.
Owens praises his best friend for getting rid of Rollins, leaving it one on one tonight.
Golden Truth vs. Anderson and Gallows
Rich Swann vs. Ariya Daivari
Post match Swann agrees to face Neville, who jumps the champ from behind.
US Title: Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns
Reigns is defending. Owens hides in the corner to start and gets knocked to the floor with a right hand. Back in and Owens starts to slowly hammer away but Reigns clotheslines him down. Cue Jericho for a distraction so Owens can score with a DDT. The backsplash gets two and we take an early break.
The Superman Punch misses but the second attempt connects for two on Owens. Jericho offers a distraction though and Owens gets in a Codebreaker for two. This brings out Rollins to Pedigree Jericho on the floor but Owens superkicks Seth down. Back in and the spear ends Owens at 16:21.
Post match Owens gets Pedigreed and Jericho gets speared to end the show.
