4. The New Day NC Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. In the middle of the match, the Shield’s music hit and they entered through the crowd. The New Day and Zayn and Owens stood united, but then Zayn and Owens bailed, as the Shield attacked the New Day. The Usos came in to make the save, but Sheamus and Cesaro entered through the crowd as well.
In the back, the Raw women stormed the Smackdown women’s locker room. More Raw roster members kept hitting the ring until Shane McMahon led the Smackdown locker room out of the back. Braun Strowman was the turning point as Raw laid out everyone, then delivered a Shield triple powerbomb to Shane McMahon after Kurt Angle gave the order. Angle delivered an Angle Slam to McMahon, then one more Shield triple powerbomb to close things out.
