Big Show gets a big pop and pyro entrance. Big E & Kofi Kingston from The New Day will compete in this title match.
Sheamus & Cesaro are tagging in & out and working on Kofi and not allowing him to tag in Big E.
Kofi finally tags in Big E and he comes in with a series of suplexes. Big E is looking to Spear Sheamus through the ropes, but Sheamus connects with a Knee.
Big E & Kofi hit their finisher on Sheamus and go for the cover, but Cesaro breaks it up.
The referee is distracted and Big Show hits a Knockout Punch on Big E! Sheamus followed this with a Brogue Kick on Big E to pick up the win for his team!
