It appears that Zayn is about to defeat Cesaro after he hits him with the Helluva Kick and covers him, but Owens interrupts the pin by pulling Zayn out of the ring and resulting in both focusing on each other, while in the ring The Miz gets the victory and retain his title, when he takes advantage of the prone Cesaro and covers him for the 3-count.

The match appears to be about to end in the favour of Natalya as she has the Sharpshooter locked in on Charlotte, when Ric Flair’s music hits and a figure with their back to the ring appears in the entrance way, which prompts Natalya to release the Sharpshooter.

The referee does not automatically call for the bell however, as it is soon revealed to be Dana Brooke dressed as Ric Flair. Natalya grabs Brooke as she climbs onto the apron, but she is forced to let go when Charlotte takes advantage of the distraction and knocks Natalya down with a shot from behind, after which she quickly applies the Figure-Eight Leg Lock and leaves Natalya with no other option but to tap out, giving Charlotte the victory to retain her title.
