Match

After Baron Corbin demanded a forfeit victory, Elias made his way to the ramp. He hit Corbin with his guitar. When they got back in the ring, the referee called for the bell. Elias hit a spinning neck breaker for a near fall, but Corbin back body dropped Elias over the top rope. When Elias made his way back into the ring, Corbin picked Elias up and tossed him shoulder first into the post.

Corbin focused his offense on the shoulder of Elias. After screaming at Michael Cole and JBL, Corbin again tossed Elias into the post. When Corbin attempted to again toss Elias into the post, Elias reversed and sent Corbin into the post. Now that Elias got the advantage, he punched and kicked Corbin down in the corner.

Elias climbed to the top rope, but Corbin rolled out of the way and caught Elias with Deep Six. Corbin went for a pin with his feet on the ropes, but the referee caught him. Elias then rolled up Corbin, hooked the tights, and secured the victory.
