Jimmy Uso and Goldust started off the match. Uso controlled the match early and Goldust asked for a break to catch his breath. Mandy Rose called Goldust over to the corner of the ring and gave him a smooch on his hand. Jimmy and Naomi do the same and then hug.
Naomi and Mandy Rose tagged in. Rose knocked Naomi to the corner and connected with a Facebuster. Mandy shoved her boot into Naomi’s throat in the corner of the ring. Mandy took a break to admire her work and Naomi took advantage and booted Mandy in the midsection.
Naomi tried to tag out but Mandy Rose prevented it and then slapped Jimmy Uso in the face. Naomi was finally able to tag out and Jimmy and Goldust entered the ring. Jimmy planted Goldust with a Samoan Drop and went for the cover but Mandy Rose broke it up. Naomi and Jimmy then hit Mandy & Goldust with dueling Enziguris and followed them up with a pair of Powerslams.
Goldust connected with the Final Cut but Naomi broke up the cover. Mandy slapped Naomi in the face and Naomi chased her around the ring. Mandy hid behind Goldust but Naomi leaped over him and connected with a Crossbody to Rose. Back in the ring, Jimmy delivered a Superkick to Goldust. Naomi hit the Rear View on Goldust and Jimmy followed it up with a Frog Splash for the pinfall victory.

After the match, Rusev and Lana came down to the entrance ramp with a couple of microphones. The crowd chanted “Rusev Day!”. Rusev said that Jimmy Uso are not the best couple in WWE. Rusev started singing “Lana is the best, Lana number one”. The crowd sang along as Lana vowed to crush Elias & Bayley next week on the Mixed Match Challenge. Lana added that next week they will celebrate “the ravishing Rusev Day”.
Elias and Bayley had a backstage promo. Bayley started to sing as Elias played his guitar and Elias told her to leave the music to him. Bayley asked if she could at least have a hug and Elias responded “no” and walked away. Jimmy and Naomi danced in the ring as the Mixed Match Challenge walked away. Goldust & Mandy Rose are now eliminated and Jimmy Uso & Naomi advanced to the next round of the tournament.
