During his entrance tonight, Elias showcased some new theme music, giving the musical superstar a fresh feel ahead of the match. Ryker and Elias quickly took the fight to each other, and the former WWE 24/7 Champion gained the upper hand at a few points. But Ryker continued to overpower Elias at every turn.

Elias later gained the upper hand, and he took too long to gloat when he seemingly whispered something in his ear. Whatever it was, Ryker wasn’t fazed, as he reversed the hold and began whipping Elias with the strap. Eventually, Ryker threw Elias into the corner and pinned him with a Black Hole Slam for the impressive victory.
