With a little from her friends (and some heel tactics), Alexa Bliss defeated Natalya in less-than-dominating fashion. Seeing her friend ambushed, Ronda Rousey involved herself as well, chasing away the former Raw Women’s Champion.
Winner: Alexa Bliss

After completing their transformation from, and then back to, a total comedy act, The B-Team was finally overthrown. Say hello to your new Raw Tag Champs, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre (who only got the match in the first place by beating down The Revival backstage, taking their place as a result).
Winner: Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre

The Heartbreak Kid came before the audience to tell everyone that his best friend, Triple H, was going to defeat The Undertaker at the Super Show Down in Australia. The Deadman appeared to contradict his prediction, saying that he had beaten both Triple H and Shawn Michaels before and was more than prepared to do it again.
Bayley and Sasha Banks vs. Ember Moon and Dana Brooke

The Boss-and-Hug Connection emerged victorious once again, this time against the unlikely pairing of Ember Moon and Dana Brooke. Post-match, Brooke declared that she no longer wanted to be a part of Titus Worldwide and quit her post as statistician.

Braun Strowman defeated Finn Bálor clean, even with his new friends Ziggler and McIntyre at ringside. Directly after the match, however, the trio of bad guys started in on Bálor. Luckily, The Shield arrived back from jail just in time to make the save. Unfortunately, as they were attempting to do so, the entire heel locker room ran down the ramp and attacked them, leaving all three members laid out to close the show.
Winner: Braun Strowman
