Fandango (w/ Rosa Mendes) vs Jack Swagger (w/ Zeb Colter)
Swagger’s music plays twice and Fandango asks what’s going on, then we cut to a camera backstage and Zeb is down on the ground. Swagger runs in and asks who did this, but Zeb keeps saying his leg is hurt, and Fandango poses as he wins the match by forfeit.
Winner – Fandango
Rusev and Lana come out and Lana talks about how they’ve been wronged, including how Daniel Bryan forced Rusev into a battle royal. She says he still won because Rusev is a superpower they’ve never seen before, then Rusev says he will break Americans like Zeb Colter was broken. Lana demands everyone stand and recite the “Pledge of Russia”, then she mocks the crowd until Jack Swagger runs to the ring. Swagger tackles Rusev and hits him several times, then Rusev clubs him in the head but Swagger throws him outside and whips him into the barricade. A group of referees separate them but Swagger chases Rusev and tackles him, then Rusev runs for it as Swagger is held back.
