Match

Gargano and Ciampa walk through the door of the empty arena. Triple H is waiting for them, and he says that the match will begin as soon as he walks out the door. Ciampa begins taking apart the ring like they did during a TakeOver match. Before it can be used, they fight out to the parking lot and begin wrestling on top of one of the production trucks.

After 50 minutes, Candice LeRae came in claiming she hated her husband. She kicked him below the belt and left. It appears to have ended the fight as Ciampa was showing him sympathy. Candice came back and kicked Ciampa too. Johnny revealed that he was wearing a cup. Gargano hit Ciampa with a reverse pile driver to secure the pinfall victory.

Candice and Johnny are shown pulling out of the parking lot while the referee deals with Ciampa.
