The Usos trade quick tags until Luke Harper tags in, when Mark Henry joins the fray and lands a Junkyard Dog-style headbutt. Luke Harper lands a big boot and Bray Wyatt teases a run-in before being cut off by Big Show to lead to the night's first commercial.

Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter are ringside for this match, as Swagger has been feuding with Dallas of late. Dallas gets on the mic and says he's America's sweetheart.

The announcers question if Jack Swagger is Iggy Azalea if Coulter is Ariane Grande.

After a short burst of offense from Gabriel, Bo Dallas seems to hit somewhat of a mean streak with a huge clothesline. Gabriel fights back with some big kicks and forearms, followed by a springboard crossbody for a 2 count. Gabriel misses a springboard moonsault, and Bo Dallas hits the BoDog for the win.

The Miz and Damien Sandow vs. Dolph Ziggler and R-Truth

Dolph Ziggler comes out and says he likes the idea of having a stunt double so he hired his own– R Ziggler. R-Truth is out in full Ziggler gear including trunks, pink t-shirt and wrist tape. Ziggler even gives him the Intercontinental title to wear as Miz and Sandow react and act identically.

R-Truth hits the Heart Stopper elbow drop on Sandow, before tagging Ziggler back in. Ziggler and R-Truth try to pull the old switcheroo since they're "identical", which the ref doesn't notice for several seconds. They then clothesline Miz and Sandow out of the ring before the commercial, mirroring each other with a pelvic thrust taunt.

We're back from commercial and MizDow are working over R-Truth, who very clearly borrowed a pair of old trunks and boots from Ziggler's 2008 collection. The beating continues for several minutes until R-Truth hits a Ziggler-style DDT and gave Dolph the hot tag. Ziggler cleans house and hits Sandow with a Famouser for 2. R-Truth lands a Zig Zag, and Dolph Ziggler gets the pin on Sandow.

A video is shown of Orton attacking Jericho last week, as well as Reigns being laid out on Monday.

We're back from commercial and Reigns is still getting worked over before landing a backdrop and tagging in Jericho. The hot tag ends up with Rollins in the Walls of Jericho struggling to reach the ropes until Orton interrupts. Jericho thinks he's disposed of the "Legend Killer", but gets clocked by Orton as he attempts a Lionsault.

Orton and Rollins beat Jericho down methodically for several minutes until another hot tag occurs, this time to Reigns. Roman destroys Rollins with a Samoan drop and a clothesline, before getting Orton with a clothesline of his own and the apron dropkick. A tag is made to Jericho as Reigns and Rollins brawl into the crowd.
