After the maneuver, Cross found her mean streak and defeated Evans following a devastating DDT and a crushing neckbreaker. After the match, Bliss snapped into a trance at Evans mention of The Fiend and delivered a Sister Abigail to the unsuspecting Superstar.

AJ Styles def. Sami Zayn

Both AJ Styles and Sami Zayn believe the Intercontinental Championship rightfully belongs to them, and even a win by The Phenomenal One isn’t stopping The Great Liberator’s claim to the title. Zayn appeared headed for a win with a crafty roll-up, but the official stopped the count due to Zayn holding Styles’ tights. Despite the loss, Zayn quickly scrambled to declare it wasn’t “an official title match” and demanded to be announced as the champion. Jeff Hardy would then emerge to take out both competitors and send a message in true Hardy fashion using tables and ladders.

Before the match, Roman Reigns asserted his dominance over his yard and his island on the blue brand and then backed it up early on with a steel chair. After a huge knee by The Celtic Warrior, Sheamus and King Corbin would swarm The Big Dog. The towering Superstars then sent Jey Uso through a table and were shocked when the high-flyer kicked out of the pin. The chaotic brawl continued on in the Samoan Street Fight until the cousins teamed up for a Reigns’ Spear and an Uso Splash to take out Corbin for the win.
