#2 Rich Swann vs. Neville (C) [WWE Cruiserweight Championship match]
Both of the 205-pounders received decent reactions from the fans. The match was short and that was the only negative aspect of the entire bout. Despite the short length, the match was filled back-and-forth action with Neville getting the ultimate fall by forcing Swann to submit to the Rings of Saturn.
Result: Neville retained the WWE Cruiserweight Championship over Rich Swann

#3 Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson (C) vs Sheamus & Cesaro vs The New Day [Triple threat RAW Tag team Championship match]
Big E and Xavier Woods of the New Day were involved in the match while Kofi Kingston was at ringside. This was reportedly a very good match although the fans were unhappy over the finish, credits to the typical heel tactics of The Club. Anderson rolled-up Cesaro to get the pinfall.
Following a post-match beatdown on the Champions, New Day and Cesaro & Sheamus celebrated while Woods was playing the trombone.
Result: Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows defeated The New Day and Sheamus & Cesaro to retain the RAW Tag team Championship
#4 Sin Cara vs. Titus O’Neil
Another short yet enjoyable match. Sin Cara was greeted with several “Lucha!" chants during the contest. He pinned O’Neil following a Swanton bomb.
Result: Sin Cara defeated Titus O’Neil
