#1 Contender’s Match (United States Championship)
Cesaro vs Rob Van Dam
Cesaro kicks RVD a few times and sends him into the corner, but RVD kicks him and hits a split-legged moonsault for two. He goes up top but Cesaro avoids it, then he catches him offguard with a kick and follows with a Neutralizer for the win. Cesaro rolls outside and takes Sheamus’ title away from him at commentary, then he offers it back before throwing it in his face and running away.
Winner – Cesaro
Natalya vs Paige
Nattie goes for a quick rollup before sending Paige into the ropes, but Paige knocks her down with a forearm shot and skips around the ring. Paige applies an abdominal stretch and punches Nattie, then Nattie reverses the hold so Paige hits her a few times and runs the ropes. Nattie hits her with a forearm shot and puts her in the Sharpshooter, but Paige makes it to the apron and the ref forces a break. Paige gets right up and sweeps Nattie’s legs, attempting a PTO, but Nattie blocks it and goes for another Sharpshooter, only to have Paige counter with a Paige Turner for the win.
Winner – Paige
AJ comes out and skips around the ring, distracting Paige, and Nattie drops Paige with a clothesline before AJ gets in the ring. She helps Paige up and smiles, and she says Paige called them ‘frenemies’, but she wasn’t being as sincere as she is going to be now. AJ hugs her and Paige pushes her away, then AJ awkwardly asks for a handshake, and kisses her hand. Paige, obviously creeped out, shakes her away, then AJ smiles and skips away.
