TYSON KIDD & CESARO VS. THE NEW DAY (BIG E & KOFI KINGSTON) — The past weeks, both teams have been involved in multiple frays between each other and this is where it'll hopefully end! Kofi and Cesaro start off with a mix of styles in-ring which got the crowd pumped as the two had excellent chemistry in-ring together. Kofi almost nailed Cesaro with the Trouble In Paradise, early in the match, but Cesaro caught Kofi and tossed him over head with a Suplex! Cesaro went to work on Kingston before letting Tyson Kidd in, only for Kidd to meet Big E. Big E stood across the ring from Kidd and chased him around the ring until E went the other way and met Kidd with a huge Clothesline. Big E grabbed Tyson by the arm and Irish Whips him into the ring ropes, awaiting rebound, and drops him with a Powerslam. Big E gets up and runs to the ring ropes, rebounding and splashes into Kidd's mid-section, looking to get the victory but TK kicks out. The favors of winning looks to be in The New Day's hands here until Kidd shakes off Big E with a Step-Up Enzuigiri and tags Cesaro in afterwards. The Swiss Sensation repeatedly lunged Uppercuts to Big E, weakening him, before looking for the Neutralizer! Big E is lifted up off of his feet only for Kofi Kingston to come in for the save and clubs Cesaro in the back. Tyson Kidd Springboards off of the top rope, raining down on Kofi with a Springboard Drop Kick. Kidd gets up and kicks Kofi Kingston beneath the bottom rope, removing him from the equation.
Xavier Woods sprints out from the back, looking to help out his partners but Cesaro was the one who striked him across the head, sending him off of the apron! As both men taunt, looking at Woods on the outside, Big E recovered, moving back up onto his feet and pulls down the straps! Tyson and Cesaro turns around, walking right into a Double Clothesline from Big E. Kidd rolls out of the ring and E turns his focus to Cesaro, picking him up onto his feet and lifts him up onto his shoulder, looking for the Big Ending but Cesaro rolls down his back, hooking around the thigh and rolls up Big E. 1-2-3!

And now he's not just facing Brock Lesnar, he's facing Seth Rollins as well! With Seth equipped with the Money in The Bank briefcase, there's no telling if he could capitalize tonight by cashing in and winning the belt.
Slowly after the video, the camera transitions backstage to where we see
John Cena putting on his signature arm bands and laces up his sneakers. John adjusts his cap and stares off into the distance as
Paul Heyman steps into view.
"Relax. I didn't come here to try and warn or threaten you, I came here to shake your hand and say good luck!" John looks down at Paul's hand and looks back up at Heyman.
"Coming from you, Paul? Thanks. It's going to be a pleasure beating the crap out of of your client and Seth Rollins, tonight."-----------------------------
