The match started off with “woo!” and “Lana is the best, Lana number one!” chants. Lana slapped Bobby Roode in the face. Roode and Charlotte delivered dueling chops to Rusev and Lana, which forced them to exit the ring. Lana and Charlotte then got in the ring. Lana booted Charlotte and that was a big mistake. Charlotte responded by launching Lana into the turnbuckle. Lana then aimlessly started throwing haymakers and barely any of them landed. Lana connected with some chops to Charlotte that did nothing besides piss her off.
Charlotte planted Lana with a Fallaway Slam before Roode and Rusev tagged in. Roode connected with a couple of Clotheslines and followed it up with a Blockbuster for a two count. Rusev then controlled the next couple of minutes of the match. Rusev applied a choke hold to Roode and demanded that the camera man zoom in on Roode’s face. Bobby eventually escaped but was quickly knocked back down to the canvas.
Rusev hopped up to the second rope and waved his hands around to mock Bobby Roode’s glorious taunt. Roode dove off the turnbuckle and went for a Splash but Roode was ready for it and rolled out of the way. Roode quickly made his way to the corner and tagged Charlotte back into the match, which meant that Lana had to get in the ring. Charlotte connected with a flurry of massive chops to Charlotte and then booted her in the face. Charlotte tried to lock in the Figure Four but Rusev broke it up and brought Lana back to the corner. Charlotte wasn’t too fond of that and slapped Rusev across his face.
Lana snuck up behind Charlotte and rolled her up but Charlotte kicked out at the last moment. Rusev tagged in but Bobby Roode was on the floor outside the ring. Charlotte chopped Rusev across the chest a few times but Rusev laughed them off. Charlotte joined in on the laughter because Roode had gotten back in the ring behind Rusev. Roode spun Rusev around and planted him with the Glorious DDT for the pinfall victory.
