The finishing sequence of the match saw the other 7 Superstars bury Alexa Bliss (who was showcasing a lot of supernatural powers throughout the match) under a bunch of ladders at ringside.

The competitors sans Nikki Cross then climbed three ladders in the ring and started to brawl on top of the ladder. Cross then ran in through the middle ladder where Liv was standing to unhook the briefcase and got the win.

After starting well, Kofi Kingston was dropped with a Dominator move by Lashley. Instead of pinning Kofi, Lashley planted Kofi with two more dominators.

The boos got louder as Lashley taunted the crowd before he applied The Hurt Lock to choke out Kofi. Since Kofi failed to respond in the end, the referee announced Lashley as the winner who retained the title via TKO.

Flair slammed Ripley’s head into the ring post before trapping her legs between the ring post and the steel steps. Flair kicked it hard on several occasions to leave the champion in a hurt state.

Mahal then destroyed the Scottish Warrior with chair shots and ordered Veer and Shanky to drag McIntyre to the back as he was taken out of the equation of the MITB Ladder Match.

Edge applied the Crossface Submission on Reigns as he was inching closer for a win but suddenly Seth Rollins hit the ring and broke the hold with a kick to the back of the head.
