Note: I attended this show live. Follow the Minutes to Bell Time Instagram to see my experience.

Match: Lashley immediately hit Ryder with a shoulder tackle and then pummeled Ryder in the corner. Lashley side-stepped a missile dropkick and hit a spine buster on Ryder. After the dominator, Lashley got the pinfall victory. The commentary staff mentioned that Lana had a movie gig, which explains why she did not accompany Bobby to the ring.
