The Miz & The Bear Vs. Heath Slater & Rhyno
Heath Slater tried to roll up The Miz as he argued with the bear, but he kicks out. The Miz thinks The Bear is Dean Ambrose. A light “We want Bear” chant fires up. Miz wants a handshake, but Slater declines. Slater takes him down and tags in Rhyno.
They hit a double-team back elbow. Rhyno shoulder blocks him down and shoulders him in the corner before hitting a clothesline. Slater tags in, but Miz takes him down. The Bear tags in, and The Miz looks terrified. Michael Cole says this is “bearly legal” and the puns keep coming.
The Bear slaps Heath Slater and backhands him. Rhyno looks stunned. The Bear applies a bear hug. The Bear tags Miz in, and Miz attacks him. Miz sends The Bear into the barricade and drives it into the apron. Miz pulls off the mask to reveal a jobber. Slater hits Miz with a kick. Cole says Miz just has to grin and bear it. The Bear gets back in the ring with the mask on.
The Bear then hits Dirty Deeds on Slater. Maryse tries to warn Miz that it’s Ambrose inside the suit. Ambrose reveals himself, and Miz looks stunned. Miz tries to run away, but he accidentally knocks Maryse off the apron. Maryse yells at him and walks off. Miz slowly turns, but Ambrose hits him with Dirty Deeds and puts Slater on top of him for the win.
Winners: Heath Slater and Rhyno

We return to see Neville in the ring, and out comes Rich Swann for a match. As Swann dances in the ring, Neville attacks him behind. Neville beats Swann to the mat before taking him outside the ring and tossing him into the barricade. Neville brings Swann inside and locks in the Rings of Saturn until he passes out. Neville grabs a microphone and says “Austin Aries, TJP, and now Richard Swann.” Neville then kicks Swann out of the ring. He says it feels good to be the King and holds his belt high. “Or does it?” Neville asks how many pretenders he has to obliterate before he gets the respect he deserves? He says he knows what is being said about Akira Tozawa, but it takes more than a Tweet from Titus O’Neil to be the Cruiserweight Champion. Neville advises Tozawa to tread carefully, unless he wants to bend a knee before the King.

Replays are shown from the brawl between Brock Lesnar and Samoa Joe.
Mike Rome is backstage with Samoa Joe. Joe says the brawl doesn’t change anything. They’re playing into his strategy. It’s never been about the words. It’s about the actions. Brock Lesnar didn’t sweat him, so his reaction is to send the messenger back with the same wounds he’ll give the manager. Lesnar wanted to let everyone know this is his house, but Joe let him know who he was going to do battle with. Then, at Great Balls of Fire, Joe will walk to the ring, look Brock in the eyes, lock-in the Coquina Clutch and take the Universal Chamspionship.
The Hardy Boyz make their entrance. The main event is next.
