Stephanie McMahon made her way to the ring and talked about the uncertainty of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan's health, wanting to chat with him about his pending surgery. Kane's music hits instead as he drags the unconscious champion to the top of ramp, who is taken care of by EMT, and left for dead by "the Devil's Favorite Demon."
Fandango (w/ Layla) vs Dolph Ziggler
Fandango seemed to have the match under control after some help from Layla, who then proceeded to distract Fandango after her leg got caught on the ring apron, allowing Ziggler to hit the dancer with the Zig Zag to walk away with a win.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan was in the ring talking about the greatness of America until he was interrupted by Lana, who trashed Duggan's career and his country before Alexander Rusev made his way to the ring.

Rusev fended off Big E's attack, kicking him out of the ring to clear out the squared circle.
Cody Rhodes (w/ Goldust) vs Damien Sandow
Rhodes just needed the slightest room to breath, with Sandow controlling most of the match, before he got distracted by Goldust, allowing for Rhodes to rake Sandow's eyes and nailing him with the Disaster Kick to get the pin.
Winner: Cody Rhodes
Batista of Evolution (w/ Randy Orton & Triple H) vs Roman Reigns of The Shield (w/ Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins)
With both crews hanging out at ringside for the match, trouble was inevitable. The bout ended after Triple H interfered in the match, grabbing Reign's leg as he attempted a Superman Punch on Batista. A melee broke out, which forced Stephanie McMahon to call in the cavalry to help her husband and Evolution. The "numbers game" wore down The Shield but Reigns turned it around with a Spear on Triple H to swing momentum in The Shield's direction. The Shield then loaded up on chairs and used them as weapons to even up the odds, later Triple Power-bombing Ryback and standing tall over Ryyback to end the show.
