Cody Rhodes and Solo Sikoa had put up a very entertaining bout for the WWE Undisputed Championship bout. Similar to their WrestleMania 40 bout, WWE was perfect in presenting this one. Towards the very end, The Tonga brothers interfered with the match and distracted Cody Rhodes to allow Solo Sikoa to score the win. But Cody was ready. It then continued to scramble when Randy Orton and Kevin Owens appeared, to fight the Tonga brothers for a back drop, thus leaving Solo and Cody to fight alone.
Then, Jacob Fatu assaulted Cody Rhodes almost ensuring a victory for Solo. Yet, Roman Reigns’ music hit, and he entered the ring and performed a spear on Solo Sikoa.
