2. Hideo Itami defeated Brian Kendrick. Itami pinned Kendrick after a GTS.

3. Absolution defeated Bayley, Sasha Banks and Mickie James. Paige pinned Bayley after a Rampaige.

5. Finn Bálor defeated Curt Hawkins with a Coup de Grace.


– Bray Wyatt came to the ring for a match. Matt Hardy attacked him and sent him fleeing, then laughed a lot.

7. Intercontinental Championship Match: Samoa Joe defeated Roman Reigns (c) by disqualification when Roman refused to stop kicking Joe’s ass. After the match, Roman continued to kick Joe’s ass for like five minutes.

8. Braun Strowman defeated Curtis Axel and Bo Dallas. This was a “secret Santa” match, with the Miztourage not knowing who their opponent would be before the match. Strowman won quickly with a running powerslam on Dallas. After the match, Strowman powerslammed Axel multiple times.

– Alexa Bliss said she’d be watching the women’s Royal Rumble match to see who her opponent would be at WrestleMania. Asuka interrupted, threatened Bliss and kicked her in the head.
