- AJ Styles is backstage and says that the WWE fans cant chant whatever they want. Kevin Owens says Styles' whining reminds him of Zayn. KO says friendship doesn't matter and Styles & Zayn should get a show on the Network where they hold each other and cry. AJ Styles says they have a match tonight and he'll shut up Owens. Owens tells Renee and Styles they have the same haircut.

Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz

This is the 19th televised singles match between Dolph Ziggler & The Miz. Miz uses a cheap show to take advantage, but gets cradled and barely kicks out. Ziggler lands a hip toss and the Heart Stopper elbow and a dropkick, but is sent chest first into the turnbuckle. Miz dropkicks Ziggler to ringside before the commercial.

Ziggler is worked over, but fights back and gets a two count with a clothesline. Miz counters the big DDT with a boot to the face for a two count. Miz applies the Figure Four. Ziggler gets out and clocks Miz with a superkick for the win.

Winner: Dolph Ziggler via pinfall (Superkick)

Bubba Ray Dudley (w/ D-Von Dudley) vs. Goldust

D-Von distracts Bubba by grabbing a table, allowing Bubba to attack. Dudley connects with a neckbreaker. Bubba mocks the Dusty Rhodes elbow, and Goldust proceeds to kick his ass for it, hitting the ten punches in the corner and a bulldog for two. Bubba leaves the ring, but boots Goldust for the win as he gets back inside.

Becky and Sasha feign coming to blows and instead attack Charlotte.

- Despite getting beaten down on Raw, New Day come out and make fun of League Of Nations. They have trash bags, which they punt, and say represent the Lads being hot garbage.
