The Perfect Ten Tye Dillinger took on the former Vaudevillian Aiden English in a solid singles contest. The two former NXT superstars began the match with a bunch of holds, and then progressively started introducing a considerable number of scoop slams and back body drops.
The crowd knew that this was anyone's match, but Dillinger proved to be the better wrestler in this contest and won after hitting English with the Tye Breaker.

The crowd assumed that this might be the filler match of the evening. However, they were proved wrong by all the six contestants. The Babyfaces were heavily cheered by the crowd, especially Luke Harper. The heels were rightly welcomed, with a barrage of boos.
Mojo Rawley and Sin Cara gelled together extremely well. Both of them took down Connor and Viktor of The Ascension, while Luke Harper attacked his former Wyatt Family member Erick Rowan. In the match, Sin Cara performed a bunch of high-flying moves to the delight of the audience. Rawley, a former Football player, used his linebacker techniques to take out his enemies. Harper, a brawler by nature, used his fists to rough-up Erick Rowan.
The heels tried every trick in the book, but they were eventually overwhelmed by the baby faces.
Result: Mojo Rawley, Sin Cara & Luke Harper def. The Ascension & Erick Rowan
