-Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger are out. Colter talks about Lana putting over Russia and the Rusev Crush, but is sick of them. Zeb says nobody is a bigger critic of the U.S. government than him, but that’s for them to say, not outsiders like Lana and Rusev. He announces Jack Swagger vs. Rusev for WWE Battleground, and his guy will be “crush-proof” this Sunday. We the People.
-Lana and Rusev come out, and Rusev tries to get a Russia chant going – the crowd responds with a “USA” chant instead. Swagger and Rusev wave their corresponding flags at each other.
Alberto del Rio vs. Kofi Kingston

Back in the ring, Kofi hits a splash off the top rope, hits a few dropkicks and lands the Boom Drop. He sets up for Trouble in Paradise, but del Rio rolls to the outside. Kingston chases after him, but gets caught with a superkick to the face. They fight up to the top rope and Kofi tries for a superplex, but ADR ties him up in the ropes and hits a double foot stomp to pick up the win.
Winner: Alberto del Rio
-Backstage Fandango runs into Summer Rae and Layla. Fandango says some B.S. about having both of them. Summer calls him a flamingo and they make fun of his lame dance moves. They walk away, and Bo Dallas shows up. Bo tells Fandango that if he loves something, he’s got to let them go. He says all he’s got to do is Bo-leave.
