LA Knight once again put his United States Title on the line against a member of Legado del Fantasma, this time against the leader Santos Escobar. 

As The Megastar was watching a vignette from Shinsuke Nakamura, Escobar jumped him from behind, starting the match with a clear advantage. 

Just as Knight was about level Escobar with an elbow drop, Nakamura made his way to ringside to distract The Megastar.  

Escobar was close to hitting the Phantom Driver, but Knight countered it into the BFT to win the match and retain his title. 

As quick as Knight’s music started playing to signify his victory, however, Nakamura brutally attacked Knight and left the champion down.

After costing The Street Profits a chance to win the WWE Tag Team Championship against Motor City Machine Guns last week, Tommaso Ciampa took on Montez Ford, who looked for retribution. 

Ciampa rocked Ford with a sickening knee strike, but as Ciampa went for the Fairytale Ending, Ford reversed the move into a jaw-dropping pinfall to win the match. 

After the bout, Ciampa attacked Ford before Angelo Dawkins and Johnny Gargano came down to assist their teammates. 

An irate Ciampa then shoved his partner to the floor before leaving alone.
