- New Day make fun of the League of Nations, as well as Mark Henry for still thinking he's the World's Strongest Man.

New Day vs. Y2AJ & Mark Henry

Big E runs over Jericho, but Mark Henry comes in and flattens all of New Day. The babyfaces mock the New Day as we go to a commercial break. We come back to see Xavier double teamed by a double back elbow from Y2AJ. They isolate Xavier Woods in their corner and punish him before Jericho hits Kofi with a triangle dropkick.

Big E lands a cheap shot on Jericho and Snake Eyes' Jericho into the boots of Kofi and Xavier. They play the trombone and dance, before dropkicking Jericho, setting up the legdrop/splash combo for two until AJ Styles breaks up the count. Jericho escapes from Big E's shoulders and hits an enziguri.

Styles gets the hot tag and forearms the bejesus out of Xavier before his backflip reverse DDT. Henry takes out Big E before eating the Trouble in Paradise, and Jericho sacrifices himself and eats one for AJ. Styles applies the Calf Crusher and Woods taps out.
