Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton – Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed brawl
In the ring, Cody asked Heyman if he was talking to the Oracle, the Wise Man, or to the Advocate. Heyman said he’s talking to the GOAT. Heyman said Brock Lesnar is not here tonight, but Cody is in danger. Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker entered the ring. Cody told Breakker that nobody has figured out who Heyman is loyal to, but it’s not him. Breakker ripped off his shirt.
Cody said they way they are looking at him, it looks like they want a fight and began punching Breakker and Reed. Breakker and Reed took over on Cody. They stopped when Randy Orton came down. Reed tried to stop Orton in the aisle but got beat up. Orton then went to the ring and punched Breakker. Orton went for the RKO on Breakker. Breakker pushed him off and Orton hit Reed who got back in the ring with the RKO.

Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss were backstage when Sol Ruca and Zaria approached them. Zaria told them they admired them for quite some time, but admiration only goes so far. They challenged Charlotte and Bliss to a tag team title match. Charlotte said she can’t even wave her hand anymore and get a title opportunity and added that they haven’t earned it.

Drew McIntyre – Jacob Fatu altercation
Drew McIntyre walked to the ring wearing a boot. He said he had Cody Rhodes beat but the referee took six seconds to count a pin fall he had. He was ready to put Cody’s head through the announce table and the referee got between them. Drew said this cost him the championship and questioned if the referees worked for WWE or Cody Rhodes.
Nick Aldis came out. He said he sees Drew’s point of view, but this is wrestling. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, so don’t make excuses. Aldis asked him where the boot came from because it didn’t come from the WWE medical team. Drew said he has his own medical team.
Jacob Fatu came to the ring and told Drew to shut up and stop bitching. Drew headbutted Jacob. Jacob hit the superkick on Drew, took off his boot, and hit him in the head with it.
HERE. WE. GO.
