WWE World Tag Team Title Cage Match
Usos vs. Gold & Stardust (c)

Well this is quite the way to kick the show off. The two teams get the in-ring introductions, and Stardust immediately tries to scamper out the door. Jey Uso catches him and goes to work, but Stardust tags to Goldust.

Uso takes Goldust into his own corner and makes a tag to his brother, who does a sloppy somersault senton for a two count. Jimmy Uso applies an armbar, but Goldust fights out and sends Uso flying into the cage wall. A big clothesline from Goldust takes us to the commercial break.

Back from the commercial Goldust is still wearing away at Jimmy Uso, raking his face across the cage. The two work their way up to the top rope and Goldust is knocked off as Jimmy hits Whisper in the Wind. He makes the hot tag to Jey Uso.

Jey clears house and has both of the Dust Brothers in the corner. He hits the Running Hip to Goldust but misses on Stardust and almost gets pinned. Jimmy superkicks Cody for 2, but Goldust breaks it up!! Jimmy Uso is backdropped into the cage, while Stardust lands the Cross Rhodes but only gets 2! These guys are going at it.

Stardust tries to climb out, and all four men end up on the buckles. A big Suplerplex and Superfly splash on Goldust, but Stardust rolls up one of the Usos for the victory! Probably the best match they've had.

Winners: Gold & Stardust

- We get a Raw Rebound of Vince McMahon's return to Raw. The announcers also note that Randy Orton is sidelined with a concussion.

- Kane is in the ring and says the decision to attack Randy Orton on Raw was not an easy one. The Authority questioned where Orton's loyalties lie. He says the roster is either with Team Authority or against them, and they need to choose wisely.

Kane says he's going to face Dolph Ziggler, and since the cage is already there, they'll face off in a cage. Cesaro makes his way to the ring and says he'll gladly join Team Authority. Kane says he wasn't expecting Cesaro out here tonight, but if he wants to prove himself he could face Ryback right now.

Ryback vs. Cesaro

The match comes back in progress from a commercial with Cesaro in control, working on Rybacks body and head with a chinlock, punches and a suplex. Ryback's return and subsequent matches have been a stark contrast from his original push, as he's not crushing people.

Shortly after typing that, Ryback hits a huge spinebuster and Meat Hook Clothesline. He tries for Shellshock, but Cesaro wiggles out the back and runs Ryback into the ring post and follows with a flying elbow drop for two.

Cesaro goes for a suplex but its reversed into a Shellshock and Ryback picks up the pin.

Winner: Ryback

Kane is outside the ring clapping, visibly impressed. He looks like he's about to make Ryback and offer, but Ryback leaves.

R-Truth vs. Adam Rose

This match stems from last week when R-Truth told Rose that the bunny upstages him. The two dance around while the bunny also dances outside, and this is kind of weird. The bunny starts twerking on the ring apron, Adam Rose tries to get him down and R-Truth tolls him up for the win. The bunny is beside himself.

Winner: R-Truth

After the match Rose boots the bunny and gets big time boos. Adam Rose turns around to party with the Rosebuds, who are still excited. The bunny tries to rejoin him but Rose intimidates him.

- Christian is out to host the Peep Show, and he plugs his upcoming appearance on the Syfy program Haven. Dean Ambrose cuts of Christian's plug and makes his way to the ring.

Christian notes that Ambrose didn't make a lot of friends in the Shield, and asks what its like being him. Ambrose says he has no friends and enemies around every corner. Ambrose thinks Wyatt is playing mind games, but that his mind is a dangerous place.

Bray Wyatt shows up and says Ambrose has nothing to fight for anymore. He had a safety and security when he was in The Shield, and it was ripped away from him. Wyatt says he wants to heal Ambrose the way Rowan and Harper were healed. He says it's not for anyone, specifically Daniel Bryan. Ambrose goes after Wyatt but the lights go out, come back on and he's behind Ambrose. They cut out again, come back on and he's gone.

- We get a replay of Rusev defeating Sheamus for the United States Title after Raw this week.

- Brie Bella is backstage apologizing to AJ Lee for slapping her on Raw. AJ says it's okay, but she knows Nikki will do anything to get a leg up. Nikki Bella attacks AJ from behind, and tells Brie to sound more sincere next time, implying they had set AJ up. Brie looks on in remorse before leaving.

- Tyson Kidd is shown flirting with Summer Rae and Layla backstage earlier in the day. Natalya shows up and is upset, saying Tyson hasn't answered her texts.

Natalya (w/Tyson Kidd) vs. Summer Raw (w/Layla)

Kidd will be on commentary for this match, and he's really good on it. Summer grabs a body scissors but Natalya fights out and slams Summer to the mat before hitting a dropkick. Natalya lands a big clothesline and goes for a Sharpshooter but is rolled up by Summer for the win.

Winner: Summer Rae

Tyson consoles Natalya in the ring after the loss.

- Renee Young is interviewing Dolph Ziggler backstage and he says he wants the Authority out. Triple H shows up and says Ziggler has nobody to save him tonight since Orton and Cena are both gone. He tells Ziggler he can still change his mind and "save himself."

- Sgt. Dan Rose is out with the creator of Soldier Socks showing his remarkable progress since being wounded in battle. He uses an exosuit to aid in his ability to walk. Really cool.

Steel Cage Match
Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane

Dolph Ziggler gains control with punches earlier, but it looks like Kane is going to catch him with a powerbomb until Ziggler hits a facebuster to reverse. Ziggler tries to climb out of the cage early, but Kane drags him down and throws Ziggler into the cage as we head into a commercial.

Back from the break Kane hits a big boot for a two count. Kane follows up with a splash in the corner, and Ziggler moves before another hits. Ziggler attacks with two clotheslines and a big DDT to finally get Kane off his feet, but only manages a nearfall.

Both men climb the cage and are on the top rope, and both also end up crotched. Ziggler flies off the top rope but meets a big uppercut from Kane for 2. Kane sets up for the chokeslam but Ziggler scampers to the cage wall before being brought down face first. Kane succeeds with the chokeslam on the second attempt.

Kane motions for a Tombstone, but Ziggler escapes out the big and scores with a Zig Zag but only gets a two count! Ziggler tries to go out the door but is caught. He superkicks Kane, but is hit on the way down as well, leaving both men floored.

Kane is by the door and Ziggler atually starts climbing Kane's body and scales the cage. He makes it over but Kane kicks he door into Ziggler, leaving Dolph hanging on the door! Kane comes back out but gets the door kicked into his head twice and Ziggler drops down and wins! Excellent match.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler

Ziggler celebrates to end the show, as Kane is furious.
