Neville is tapping out but the referee says Neville needs to tap out inside the ring for Aries to win the match. Aries goes inside the ring and hits a suicide dive but completely misses.
Neville then hits a Red Arrow on Aries’ back and then locked-in the Rings of Saturn to make Aries tap out and retain his Title.
Winner: Neville (Still WWE Cruiserweight Champion)

Former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt makes his way out first. Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe, Finn Balor and “The Big Dog” Roman Reigns are out next.

This is Balor’s first WWE PPV match since SummerSlam 2016 (where he became the inaugural Universal Champion). It should be noted that Balor isn’t sporting his “Demon” attire tonight.
