The Revival and The Viking Experience d. Aleister Black, Ricochet, and Raw Tag Team Champions Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins in 13:15.

Andrade d. Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor in 10:30.

Bayley and Naomi d. Women's Tag Team Champions The IIconics in 1:55.

Billie Kay and Peyton Royce's Raw defeat is the most galling, given that it took less than two minutes for a thrown-together unit to brush them aside.
