Match: Ford and Murphy begin the match. Ivar and Adam came in the ring next and exchanged several strikes before Ivar tagged out to Erik. The Raiders would attempt to isolate Murphy, but Murphy hit a jaw breaker and got a tag to Rezar. Ford came in the ring and attempted a top rope cross body, but Rezar caught him. The Messiah and his disciples then isolated Montez Ford.

Ford got the tag off to Erik. When Erik went for a suicide dive, Rezar just caught him and Murphy followed up hitting a meteora to the floor. This sequence led to the commercial break. Back from the break, Erik remained isolated from his team. Seth Rollins tossed Erik into the barricade twice before tossing Erik back in the ring. Erik nearly made a tag, but Murphy and AOP knocked Erik’s partners off the apron. Erik finally evaded some offense from Rollins allowing him to hit a knee strike and get a tag to Montez Ford.

Ford exploded all over everyone as Raw went to commercial. When the show returned, Ford’s advantage had slipped away as his opponents isolated him for several minutes. After a superkick to Buddy Murphy, Ford tagged in Ivar who ran wild on everyone. Rollins and team would make a short lived comeback. For nearly put Rollins away with a frog splash, but Murphy broke up the pinfall. Ford hit a tope con hilo on everyone except Rollins. As Ford came back in the ring, Rollins hit him with a curb stomp for the pinfall victory.
