4. Raw Women's Championship Match: Asuka (c) vs. Nia Jax ended in a double count-out.
5. Handicap Match for the Universal Championship: Braun Strowman (c) defeated The Miz & John Morrison. Miz and Morrison looked to have the match won after a Skull-crushing Finale and double stomp combination, but Miz broke up Morrison's pin. With the team's momentum ruined, Strowman pinned Morrison after a powerslam.
6. WWE Championship Match: Drew McIntyre (c) defeated Bobby Lashley. Lashley gained an early advantage by locking in the full nelson on McIntyre before the bell rang. After a competitive match, Lana showed up and caused a distraction, allowing McIntyre to hit the Claymore and retain the championship.
- The advertised match between the Street Profits and the Viking Raiders for the Raw Tag Team Championship turned out to be an extended backstage skit that saw them fight through the parking lot and backstage. Akira Tozawa showed up with a gang of motorcycle ninjas. It ended when all four men fell in the trash and were threatened by what appeared to be an alligator that growled like a tiger.
7. Randy Orton defeated Edge in the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever. This match was presented with unique camera angles and enhanced audio, meaning it had canned crowd noise. Both men were introduced by a voiceover from the late Howard Finkel, and referee Charles Robinson delivered pre-match rules while wearing the old WWF referee outfit. Orton kicked out of multiple spears, and Edge kicked out of multiple RKOs. After about 45 minutes, Orton countered Edge's Anti-Venom submission with a low blow and punted him to win the match.
