Match
Shinsuke Nakamura and Daniel Bryan wrestled to the mat where Bryan stomped on the elbow of Nakamura. After a drop kick, Nakamura rolled to the outside and Bryan followed with a dropkick and a high knee of the apron. Back in the ring, Bryan hit a top rope missile drop kick and a running single legged dropkick in the corner. When Daniel Bryan went for a top rope hurricanrana, Shinsuke held on and came off the middle rope with kicking Bryan.
Prior to Smackdown going to commercial break, Shinsuke Nakamura hit a sliding German suplex. Back from the break, Daniel Bryan hit the Yes Kicks. Shinsuke ducked the last kick and connected with a number of knee strikes and some yes kicks of his own. Bryan caught the last kick and connected with a high kick for a near fall.
Shinsuke hit a single leg dropkick and a release suplex. When Shinsuke went for the kinshasa, Bryan picked the leg and cinched in a single leg crab. Bryan transitioned out of an arm bar and into the Yes Lock. Before Nakamura could submit, Cesaro hit the ring causing a disqualification.
