Otis vs Drew Gulak

Before the match, Gulak said that it looks like he’s leaking butter. Then he had a PowerPoint presentation of how Otis will never date Mandy Rose.

Otis started throwing Gulak around immediately.

Otis slammed Gulak down and they showed Mandy and Sonya watching backstage. Then they showed Dolph Ziggler back with them talking away to distract them from watching the match.

The action continued and Otis took his shirt off. That’s hot he hulks up apparently. He slammed Gulak down and hit a splash in the corner before doing the Caterpillar.

Then Otis hit a splash for the pinfall and the win.

Winner: Otis

Braun Strowman vs Cesaro

These two tried to over power each other early on. Strowman ended up shoving Cesaro out of the ring and then he chased off Sami Zayn.

This match was happening due to Braun’s on-going chase of Shinsuke Nakamura’s IC Title.

Braun kept taking double team abuse from Nakamura and Cesaro, but he fought them on. Cesaro was able to get a sleeper and get Braun down. Strowman rallied on Cesaro with some tackles. Then Cesaro rolled out of the ring and Braun mowed over Nakamura and Cesaro, but Sami Zayn hid.

When they returned to the ring, Cesaro tried to get a Neutralizer on, but Strowman reversed into a power slam and got the pin fall.

Winner: Braun Strowman

Nakamura hit a knee after the match to send Braun on dream street. This is a running theme tonight of babyfaces winning, but then getting beat right back down.

Roman Reigns & Daniel Bryan vs King Corbin & Dolph Ziggler

Reigns started out by taking damage from Corbin. Then he returned fire with some mounted punches in the corner. He hit a Samoan Drop and nailed a drive-by. Dolph distracted Reigns and Corbin got back in.

Corbin attacked when Reigns got back in and then Reigns nailed a big boot on Ziggler after he got tagged in. The heels did a bunch of selling in this one. Daniel Bryan launched Corbin and Ziggler to the floor and then he got Yes Chants going.

Suddenly, the lights started to flicker and Bray Wyatt’s laugh could be heard. Then they went to commercial.

Reigns nailed a right hand and got ready for the Superman Punch. Dolph distracted him so Roman knocked him off. Corbin hit a Deep 6 and got a near fall. Corbin dragged Roman out of the ring and sent him into the steps before bouncing him off the announce table.

Dolph took the tag and taunted Roman until he took a right hand. Then Ziggler got Roman down quickly and tagged in Baron Corbin who sent Roman into the ring post and gave him a couple of hard shots.

Corbin did his run around the post spot and he ran right into a Superman Punch. Bryan got the tag and he started fighting with Dolph Ziggler. Bryan hit a running knee and a drop kick in the corner as Michael Cole reminded fans that this is the same city where Bryan had the Yes Movement TakeOver of RAW.

Bryan hit the Yes Kicks, but Ziggler ducked the last one. Then Bryan got on the LeBell Lock, but Corbin broke it up. Roman hit a spear followed by Dolph hitting a Superkick on him. Then Bryan nailed the running knee.

As Bryan was about to make the pin the lights started to go out and The Fiend showed up.

The Fiend looked at Bryan and the red light was annoying. Bryan went for a suicide dive, but Fiend blocked it. Then he sent Bryan into the post and latched on the Mandible Claw. He sent Daniel Bryan through the barricade and latched on the Mandible Claw again.

The lights came back up and Ziggler and Corbin attacked Roman. They chained Roman up again and got out the Ol Roy dog food. Just as they were about to pour the dog food The Usos came back and took everyone out.
