Andrade makes his way to the ring first before the entrance of Kevin Owens to the commentary table. Out next is current WWE United States Champion Apollo Crews. The referee signals for the bell, the bell rings and the match begins!

The two superstars immediately lock up in the center of the ring. Owens takes over on play-by-play and asks his fellow commentators if he’s gonna have to do their jobs tonight. Meanwhile, Apollo jumps off to an early offensive lead.

The action spills outside the ring where Andrade chokes Apollo before the U.S. champion hoists the challenger up and slams him down on the steel entrance ramp. He goes up to the apron and comes flying off, splashing onto Andrade on the floor in the process with a Standing Moonsault.

Apollo rolls Andrade back into the ring, Suplexes him and covers him for a two-count. On their feet, Apollo misses as he charges into the corner looking to splash onto Andrade. Andrade smiles big and follows up with double knees on Apollo in the corner as we see Zelina Vega cheering him on from ringside.

Andrade climbs to the top and after Chopping the hell out of each other up there, Andrade goes for a Double-Stomp on Apollo coming off, but misses. This leads to Apollo hitting a big Belly-to-Belly Throw Suplex on Andrade, with Andrade crashing into the turnbuckles in the corner in the process.

Apollo follows up by smashing his shoulder repeatedly into Andrade in the corner. He whips him into the opposing corner and hits him with a Spinebuster as he comes off the ropes. Apollo tries covering Andrade by only gets two. A beautiful Dropkick from Apollo levels Andrade as we get another camera shot of Kevin Owens watching on from the announce desk.

Owens keeps referencing Angel Garza over-and-over-and-over again throughout his commentary as Garza has been standing at ringside, by the way. Andrade and Apollo struggle over a Suplex over the ropes spot with one man on the apron outside the ropes and the other inside the ring. Finally, Andrade slingshots himself over Apollo, bringing him down to the canvas with force on his way into the ring.

Apollo stops Andrade on the top-rope now with a Military Press. He slams him down and hits a Moonsault.

Triple Threat Match
Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross vs. The Iiconics vs. Bayley & Sasha Banks (c)

As we head into the Performance Center, we get a quick glimpse of the audience behind the Plexiglas lining the ramp as well as around the squared circle. We hear the music for Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross as the two make their way down the ramp, Cross stopping to hug Michael Cole at the Announcer’s Table then jumps on the apron with an awaiting Bliss. The tag-team enters together and pose on the ropes.

We head backstage where Kayla Braxton is interviewing the current RAW Tag-Team Champions Bayley and Sasha Banks. As Kayla begins her first question, Bayley interrupts Kayla Braxton as she demands, “Kayla, have respect and introduce us properly.”

Braxton apologies and calls them by the names Bayley requested, then asks if there is a chance of Bayley and Sasha Banks losing their friendship if they lose the championship match. Banks answers for the two and shares that nothing can break up their friendship.

Sasha Banks music sounds as she makes her way to the stage and down the ramp to the ring. Bayley tells Kayla she knows Kayla is trying to get in her head and make her think she’s going to lose her best friend if they lose the match, but Bayley has no fear as they are truly the best of friends.

Bayley then tells Braxton to get out of her way as her music sounds in the Performance Center and Bayley heads to the stage and makes her way down the ramp, joining Banks who is waiting at the bottom of the ramp so the Women’s Tag-Team Champions can enter the ring together.

The referee signals for the bell, the bell rings and the match begins!! Bayley, Nikki Cross and Billie Kay kicking things off inside the ring. Nikki Cross takes it to Bayley early on, and Bayley isn’t having it, so she tags out. Several tags later, we have Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks and Peyton Royce in the ring as the legal two.

A chaotic break-out as there are three separate brawls going on in the ring. The referee tries to regain control of the ring and the superstars inside! Bliss tags in Cross who shouts and goes for a Splash in the corner on Iiconics member Peyton.

A pin attempt by Peyton on Nikki, Sasha gives a blind tag to Bayley. Bayley runs in and the referee demands she leave the ring, stating he did not see the tag. Bayley exits under the ropes and once again Bayley and Sasha Banks hit a tag (dramatically showing the ref) as Bayley runs in.

Bliss gets the tag, immediately heading in at Bayley with multiple right-hands. “The Boss” takes over on offense soon thereafter. We keep having one of the three take a bump to the floor to leave the other two alone to duke it out. All six women end up in the ring at once, with pairs of two breaking off into striking exchanges.

When the smoke clears, Nikki Cross is tagged back in. She screams and begins running around — right into a kick from Royce. Bayley breaks up a pin attempt that followed, even though she wasn’t legal in the match. She is tagged in and now she is and she immediately goes to work on both ladies in the ring — Kay and Cross.

Bliss with a roll up Double Knee on Billie Kay. Bliss continues to take down each opponent in the ring. Double Crossbody. Bayley tags Sasha Banks who goes at it with Alexa on the apron.

Sheamus hits Hardy with a cheap shot and begins going to work on him with big shots in the corner of the ring, yelling loudly at him for trying to embarass him on Friday Night SmackDown recently.

Hardy starts fighting back now, chopping away and stomping at the leg of Sheamus in an attempt to hamper the mobility and agility of his larger, stronger foe. After having some success with that approach, Hardy finds himself on the receiving end of more onslaught from Sheamus moments later, as he manhandles his smaller opponent with punishing offense. Once again, Hardy stops the assault and buys himself some time by taking out the knee of Sheamus.

He hits a brutal pair of English Curse Back-Breakers on Hardy for a near fall.

He stops once more to yell, this time at the announcers — insisting they do their jobs properly. This leads to Corey Graves of course informing the viewing audience at home that Sheamus was in fact talking only about Michael Cole when making that remark.

As things continue inside the ring, it’s all-Sheamus at this point, as Hardy has been lifeless for the past few minutes while Sheamus has his way with a wide-open run of the ring.
