Rusev put up his United States championship against Roman Reigns in a rematch from last month’s SummerSlam. The fans booed Reigns as he made his way to the ring.
Late in the match, Rusev was going for the Accolade but Reigns broke free before the hold was locked on. Reigns hit the spear and went for the pin but Lana pulled the referee out of the ring. The ref told Lana to leave ringside and the match continued.
Rusev got the Accolade locked on just a couple of minutes later but Reigns was able to stand up and power out of it before Rusev raked Reigns in the eyes. Reigns finally hit the spear and got the pin.
Roman Reigns is the new United States Champion
