2. Tyler Breeze defeated Goldust. Breeze won with a rollup when Goldust was distracted by R-Truth and Fandango dancing at ringside.

3. The New Day and Big Cass defeated The Vaudevillains and The Dudley Boyz. This was set up via a pre-match argument about what happened to Enzo Amore at Payback. Cass pinned D-Von Dudley after an East River Crossing.

4. Emma defeated Becky Lynch. Emma won with a thumb to the eye and a Michinoku Driver.

– Stephanie McMahon was a guest on the Ambrose Asylum. Dean Ambrose needled her about her feelings about Shane, so she canceled the show and replaced it with Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel. Ambrose and Jericho brawled, and Jericho broke the beloved Ambrose Asylum potted plant (named “Mitch”) over Ambrose’s back.

5. Rusev won a United States Championship Number One Contender Battle Royal. Kalisto was on color commentary. Rusev won by last eliminating Zack Ryder.

– Charlotte addressed the controversy from Payback by bringing Charles Robinson to the ring and having him admit he did nothing wrong. Natalya confronted them, slapped Ric Flair and put him in the Sharpshooter. Backstage, Stephanie made Natalya vs. Charlotte for the WWE Women’s Championship in a submission match at Extreme Rules, with Ric banned from ringside.

6. AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows defeated Roman Reigns and The Usos. Styles pinned Jimmy Uso after a Phenomenal Forearm. After the match, Anderson and Gallows held Reigns so Styles could hit him with a steel chair, but Styles refused. The Usos tried to make the save with a chair of their own, hitting Styles. He retaliated by attacking them with the chair, which Reigns saw. Reigns then flipped out on Styles, beating him up and powerbombing him through the announce table.
