Truth converted a Kinshasa attempt into a Lie Detector. Nakamura went for a roll-up, but Truth reversed it and picked up a shocking win to become the new US champion.



Rusev came out to interrupt Truth's US Championship celebration. He mentioned that these people deserve a better champion than Nakamura and Truth. Rusev challenged Truth for a title match which was accepted, right away. Truth won in the quickest way just by rolling up Rusev for the 3-count. Rusev took a heel-turn after the match and join Nakamura for a beatdown on Truth.
