Corbin then made his way out to the ring and the two took each other on, with the match ending in a disqualification after Corbin hit Bryan with a ladder.

After the match, however, things got a bit out of hand for Bryan. Corbin began arguing with the referee before quickly bringing another ladder into the ring. However, he was unable to drop an End of Days on Bryan, with Bryan instead flipping Corbin into the Yes! Lock on the ladder. Unfortunately for Bryan, though, Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro came running into the ring, helping Corbin take Bryan down before tossing him off the stage into a bunch of ladders.
