AJ Styles talks about the dream match between himself and Cena and wonders if this will be the last time we see this match with the brand extension coming up. He also talks about the domination of The Club all over the world. He starts to talk about Anderson and Gallows winning the tag titles when Enzo and Cass interrupt.<\/p>\n<p>Cass and Enzo remind AJ that there will be four teams in the tag title match, and that they will win. Anderson wonders what Enzo has been doing while The Club has been dominating the world. Gallows then makes fun of Enzo getting concussed.

The in-ring action was quite good and the commentary from New Day was great. They pretty much took over the booth. In the ring, The Club dominated Enzo, but when Big Cass got the hot tag the momentum completely shifted and the pace picked up significantly.
