Up next is a Tag Team match. Breezango (Fandango & Tyler Breeze) comes out first and then Harper & Rowan, The Bludgeon Brothers, make their way out.

Both referees go back and forth on pinning and then Zayn goes for the pin on Orton and Shane refuses to count to 3!

Up next is the main event of the evening, it’s the WWE Championship rematch between AJ Styles & Jinder Mahal.

Former WWE Champion “The Modern Day Maharaja” Jinder Mahal makes his way out first along with The Singh Brothers (who didn’t introduce Jinder tonight). It should be noted that Jinder was WWE Champion for 170 days, which is the longest WWE Title reign of 2017. He looks to become a two time WWE Champion tonight.

Out next is the WWE Champion, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. The match begins and Jinder gets the upperhand early in the match.
