Curtis Axel (with Ryback) vs. Sheamus
When we return from commercial, Ryback and Curtis Axel’s music plays and they make their way to the ring. Out next is the new WWE United States Champion, Sheamus. The bell rings and it’s time for one-on-one action between Axel and Sheamus.
The bell rings and here we go. Axel gets in some offense early, but it’s not long before Sheamus takes control of the match. Axel ends up cutting off Sheamus’ attack with a big neckbreaker off the top-rope.
Axel tries adding some punishment to “The Celtic Warrior,” but out of nowhere, Sheamus sweeps Axel’s legs out from underneath him. He locks him up in the Texas Cloverleaf. Axel taps out. After the submission victory, Sheamus is attacked from behind by Ryback. We end up heading to a weirdly-timed commercial break as Ryback is in the middle of beating down the U.S. champ.
Winner: Sheamus
Ryback (with Curtis Axel) vs. Sheamus
When we return from commercial, the battle between Sheamus and Ryback is still going on. We’re told that the two are now involved in a one-on-one match.
Sheamus gains the early advantage in the offense, but Ryback cuts him short and starts taking over.
Ryback goes for the “Meathook Clothesline,” but Sheamus avoids it and blasts Ryback with “White Noise.” He goes for the cover, but Ryback manages to kick out at two.
Ryback starts to take over the offensive flow of the match again. Sheamus gets back into the match after hitting a big powerslam on Ryback for a near fall.
Sheamus starts pounding his chest, calling for his finisher. Axel causes a slight distraction, enough to allow Ryback to catch Sheamus off-guard with his Meathook Clothesline. He calls for the Shellshock, but out of nowhere, Sheamus nails him with the Brogue Kick. 1-2-3. Sheamus wins. After the match, we head to a commercial break.
Winner: Sheamus
In-Ring Segment: Stephanie McMahon, Kane & Daniel Bryan
When we return from commercial, Stephanie McMahon comes out and addresses what Daniel Bryan said earlier this evening. She says that all Bryan proved with what he said earlier, is that — like she’s been saying all along — he’s just not an A+ player. She says because she doesn’t know what his surgery will mean, she needs him to come down to the ring so she can tell him something.
Instead of Daniel Bryan’s music, Kane’s music hits. Kane’s pyro explodes and we see Kane dragging Bryan by the arm to the ring. Bryan is completely unconscious and his lifeless body is being dragged to the ring by “The Big Red Machine.”
Kane leaves Bryan laying on the ramp. Stephanie runs up to see what’s going on as a ton of officials and medics attend to the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Brie Bella comes out to see how he is as well. Bryan is loaded up onto a stretcher as Brie — and Stephanie — both look concerned. Bryan is wheeled to the back. We head to commercial.
Backstage: Daniel Bryan, Brie Bella & Stephanie McMahon
When we return from commercial, Daniel Bryan is being stretchered into an ambulance in the back. Stephanie and Brie, along with a bunch of medics, are by his side as he’s being put into the ambulance. Stephanie looks concerned and is apologizing repeatedly, saying, “she didn’t know” Kane would do that. Meanwhile, Brie is staring a hole through Stephanie and looking angry. When the ambulance doors close, Stephanie and Brie are left standing alone together. Steph tries to apologize to Brie, but Brie pushes Steph and says leave them alone. She gets in the ambulance with her husband. As the ambulance pulls off, Steph is shown via a camera close-up looking pissed that Brie just pushed her.
Dolph Ziggler vs. Fandango
After the backstage segment, we see Dolph Ziggler already in the ring. Fandango’s music hits and out he comes dancing with Layla. Clips are shown from Total Divas of Fandango and Summer Rae attempting to make out and hook up.
The bell rings and here we go. The announcers the entire time are arguing back-and-forth, with JBL talking about how Fandango and Layla are a better couple than Fandango and Summer Rae. Michael Cole tries coming to Summer’s defense, and literally, this entire match so far, three-or-four minutes deep, has had literally zero commentary. The entire commentary focus has been on the Fandango-Layla-Summer Rae love triangle, for lack of better phrasing.
The match, which was completely ignored, ends when Layla tries distracting Ziggler. It leads to Ziggler turning around into a big kick attempt from Fandango for a near fall. Layla ends up getting her shoe caught in the ring apron, leading to Fandango being distracted by Layla, resulting in Ziggler hitting Fandango with the Zig-Zag. 1-2-3. After the match, Layla comes into the ring to apologize. Fandango gets on the mic and says even though he lost, he’s the winner. He talks about how in love he is with Layla. He finishes by saying, “Layla, I love you.” The two make out as Fandango’s music hits. We head to commercial.
Winner: Dolph Ziggler
