Rollins almost defeated GUNTHER as he pinned him after taking him out with a Curb Stomp, but Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci attacked Rollins and caused a disqualification.
After the match, Rollins paid tribute to the late Bray Wyatt.

After paying tribute to Wyatt, Rollins cut a promo in which he took a dig at Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns for being a part-timer.
He first mentioned how fans got to see several top stars on SmackDown.
“You got LA Knight. Guys, you got the greatest of all time, John Cena!”
Then he said the following sarcastically:
“I said you got yourselves the Universal Champion…”
He then looked around to make fun of the fact that Reigns wasn’t around.
