Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes teamed with Randy Orton as they attempted to defeat Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. 

Orton took down Breakker and Reed, but Reed hit a Jagged Edge on The Viper. Orton stopped Reed from connecting with the Tsunami and landed a huge superplex, but Breakker broke up the pinfall. 

Breakker destroyed Rhodes with a huge Spear through the barricade, leaving The American Nightmare incapacitated. 

As Orton readied for the RKO, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins interfered to execute the Stomp on The Legend Killer. 

Moments later, Reed hit the Tsunami on Orton to seal one of the biggest victories ever for Reed and Breakker. 

Following a disagreement with Heyman after the match, Rollins disobeyed The Oracle’s orders, dashed back into the ring and tried to deliver a Stomp to Rhodes. Rhodes, however, dodged the move and dropped Rollins with a thunderous Cross Rhodes as Heyman held back Breakker and Reed.
