The match was all in favor of the champion early as Lee put a beating on Cassidy, who simply seemed outmatched. Dark Order members attacked Cassidy several times, which the referee didn’t seem to mind. However, Cassidy refused to go down without a fight and kept avoiding the discus lariat by simply slouching down.

Cassidy’s second wind would kick in and he began a comeback that saw him hit a diving DDT on the champ. Lee would suffer a few scares but interference from the Dark Order helped him regain momentum. Lee would hit his finisher and pick up the win shortly after.

Once the match was over, Cody Rhodes reappeared with black hair and beat down several members of the Dark Order. He then brought “5” to the post and brutalized his leg as Lee fled. Backstage, Lee challenged Rhodes to a dog collar match and gave him a week to answer.
