Cass was thrown into the barricade early, so most of the middle part of the match was Gallows and English beating up Kofi. Once Cass returned to the ring the match broke down a bit.

He fares no better than Kalisto. Titus O&#8217;Neil then runs out and manages to fight Rusev off.

It seemed to take a moment to get going, but it picked up well. It was nice to see Woods in a singles match, and he pulled out some moves he doesn&#8217;t normally do in tag matches (like a rope walk elbow drop).
