He&#8217;s glad that Dean Ambrose realized there is no future for The Shield. Elias then begins to play a song. After about a verse, Finn Balor interrupts as he heads to the ring.<\/p>\n<p>Balor says he came out here to walk with Elias. Elias invites Balor and the crowd to sing with him. Balor changes the words to Elias&#8217;s song, and Elias is not happy about it. Elias attacks Balor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 1<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Intercontinental Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Elias vs Finn Balor<\/strong> (IC Champ)<br \/>\n(referee: Chad Patton)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7382f1c675','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7382f1c675\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7382f1c675\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Finn Balor wins via pinfall with la magistral<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 6:33<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nPretty good match. The action was good, but it was kind of short. The finish was also odd. there was a pin attempt with no kick out, but the referee acted like it was only two. They immediately went for another pinfall and the match was over. There was a breakdown of communication somewhere. Other than that though, I liked the match fine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, Elias sets back up in the center of the ring with his guitar. Elias intends to finish his song, but the Riott Squad interrupts.<\/p>\n<p>Ruby Riott says she&#8217;s sorry, but they all respect Elias so much and they want to sing along with him. Liv says just for tonight they would like to be the Elias Squad. Elias is pleased. Elias starts his song again, but the Riott Squad quickly overtakes Elias&#8217;s singing. Bayley comes out to save everyone&#8217;s eardrums.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 2<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Ruby Riott &amp; Sarah Logan<\/strong> w\/ Liv Morgan <strong>vs Bayley &amp; Ember Moon<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Rod Zapata)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7382f1c792','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7382f1c792\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7382f1c792\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Ember Moon pins Ruby Riott after the Eclipse<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 7:11<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. Unfortunately for the Riott Squad, the finish was unsurprising. It really is a shame that on this, the last night of the Riott Squad as a trio, that they couldn&#8217;t all compete together and they couldn&#8217;t get a win. The Riott Squad, even though they made many women look very good, is one of the biggest examples of wasted potential I can think of in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Selfie Promo<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nThe Shield talks about their legacy and going out on their own terms.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Drew McIntyre &amp; Bobby Lashley &amp; Baron Corbin vs The Shield<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Chad Patton)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e7382f1c7cf','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e7382f1c7cf\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e7382f1c7cf\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Seth Rollins pins Baron Corbin after a triple powerbomb<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 14:26<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nThis was fun.

But his win would not have been possible without his brotherhood with The Shield. Rollins says he will always love The Shield, and his win was for his brothers.<\/p>\n<p>Dean Ambrose says Rollins is an example of hard work paying off. Roman Reigns is an example of overcoming any obstacle.
