Nox even had Lynch’s own maneuver scouted, locking in a Dis-arm-her of her own, but The Man struck back with some kicks and a missile dropkick.

Only two nights removed from dethroning The Judgment Day as Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, Cody Rhodes and Jey Uso had their work cut out for them as they faced Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in their first title defense. 

The match would soon boil over as the tension exploded and a brawl broke out on the outside.

The animosity between KO and Uso, as well as Rhodes and Zayn reached a fever point with both sets of adversaries fighting by the announce desk.

A Cross Rhodes from The American Nightmare to Zayn almost sealed the deal, but KO came in at the last second to break up the pinfall. This was the norm for the rest of the match, as all four Superstars kept their teams alive with counters, reversal and pinfall breakups.

Rhodes and Uso retained their titles after a Cody Cutter/1-D combination that left KO down for the count.
