Carmella vs. Eva Marie

They show Eva's botched pin from a few weeks ago, and play it up as controversy. Carmella dumps Eva out of the ring, but ends up getting suplexed and ran into the corner. The crowd starts chanting "Super Dragon" at Eva Marie after she mocks Carmella's catchphrase for the third time.

Winner: Eva Marie via countout

They're playing up that the ref doesn't count three on Eva Marie, apparently. Eva did barely get her foot on the rope.

Tyler Breeze vs. Bull Dempsey

Dempsey lands a bunch of jabs, but gets pushed off the apron and slams into the ramp. We go to a commercial with Breeze in control, and return with him having a headlock applied. Dempsey busts out and no-sells some strikes before boxing up Breeze.

Dempsey keeps running into Breeze, and flattens the "Prince of Pretty." Dempsey keeps trying to go up to the top rope, but gets tossed to the mat and pinned. Breeze's foot was on the ropes.
