Bobby Roode tried to to strut like a Flair but Charlotte was quick to correct him on his form. Roode started off the match in control of Apollo. Apollo quickly battled back and hit a few Arm Drags. Roode drove Apollo to the corner and connected with a few chops and shouted “Woo!”. Apollo responded with a Dropkick and then Charlotte was tagged in.
Nia Jax whipped Charlotte around the ring. Dana Brooke grabbed Charlotte’s foot but Nia Jax informed her that she didn’t want any help. Charlotte connected with a boot to the face and followed it up with a couple of shoulders to the midsection in the corner. Charlotte planted Nia with a Dropkick that sent her tumbling out of the ring.
Nia battled back and connected with a Splash in the corner. Nia knocked Charlotte out of the ring and took her eye off of her. This allowed Charlotte to recapture the momentum with a couple of chop blocks that knocked Nia to the canvas. Charlotte applied the Figure Four but couldn’t complete the transition to the Figure Eight. Nia Jax broke the hold with a headbutt and tagged Apollo back in.
Roode greeted him with a Clothesline off the top rope and went for the Glorious DDT but Apollo blocked it. Titus O’Neil started shouting at Apollo that there was 100k on the line and that he needed to remain focused. Both Charlotte and Nia wound up in the ring again. Charlotte knocked Nia to the mat and connected with a Moonsault off the top rope. Roode then quickly hit Apollo with the Glorious DDT for the pinfall victory.
