The show started with Elias Samson in the ring. After playing his guitar and taunting the crowd, he moved his guitar to the corner of the ring and awaited the arrival of his opponent, Marty Scurll. "One True Villain" hit, but Marty Scurll was nowhere to be seen. Elias looked furious.
Mauro Ranallo: Is Elias Samson going to get another victory via forfeit?
Corey Graves: Most superstars would just be happy to get another mark in the win column, but not Elias... he wants to wrestle!
Scurll's music was cut and Elias began yelling at the referee, who appeared to be getting a message through his earpiece. The referee walked away from Elias and spoke to ring announcer Christy Hemme, who then grabbed her microphone and made an announcement.
Christy Hemme: Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been informed that unfortunately, Marty Scurll is unable to compete tonight. Therefore your winner via forfeit, Elias Sam...
Elias snatched the microphone from her, cutting her off. He then began to speak.
Elias Samson: Is that it? No explain for why Scurll can’t compete? Is he injured, did his pet hamster die... come on, at least give me an excuse! No, I'll tell you why Scurll can't compete. Because Aiden English and his wife asked him not to, and he thought it would be funny to humiliate me. Well the joke is on them. Because if I'm not having a match tonight, I'm going to fill the time that was allocated to my match with a special concert. Milwaukee... you're in for a treat!
Elias grabbed his guitar and was about to play a song when the arena lights went out. A loud noise echoed throughout the arena, and as the arena lights came back up, Elias was laid out and his guitar had been smashed to pieces.
Mauro Ranallo: Corey I think someone just smashed that guitar over Elias Samson's head!
Corey Graves: I think you're right, Mauro, the question is who? I didn’t see anybody...
The referee tended to Elias as Warfare went to commercial.
"Celtic Invasion" hit the PA and the crowd gave a mixed reaction to Becky Lynch who largely ignored them and headed down the ramp way to the ring. Once Christy Hemme announced her, "Angel on My Shoulder" hit and Velvet Sky came to the ring to an ovation from the crowd.
Corey Graves: EBWF royalty is in the house! Can Velvet beat Becky here tonight?
The bell rang and the two women locked up. Velvet powered Becky into the corner. Becky turned her around, and Velvet slapped her!

Corey Graves: Once again, Hardcore Holly has insisted on putting his Breakout Title on the line!
"Like a Prayer" by Madonna hit, and the crowd cheered as Grado made his way to the ring. Upon entering the ring, Grado danced to the music, then moved into the corner as he awaited the arrival of his opponent. "How Do You Like Me Now" hit and the crowd booed as Hardcore Holly stepped out onto the stage. Holly carried a chair to the ring with him, and as he entered the ring he placed the chair down, then handed his title to the referee. The referee held up the title, then called for the bell. Holly immediately picked up his steel chair and swung it at Grado, but Grado dropped to the mat and rolled out of the ring.

Mauro Ranallo: Come on, this isn't fair!

End then hit the Owari Death Kick for good measure, then signalled to Zahra Schreiber, who passed him a microphone. End picked up the World Title once more, then began to speak.
Tommy End: You may have won the battle tonight, Miz, but LEGION will win the war. In case you've forgotten, one of the stipulations of our match at Fanniversary was that if LEGION won, I got a future World Title shot. And since Jimmy Havoc is injured, it seems only fitting that I take his place. So in two weeks, at the Royal Rumble, it's going to be The Miz versus Tommy End. Your days as champion are numbered, Miz... the World Title belongs to LEGION.
End placed the title on top of Miz, then dropped the microphone and exited the ring. End, Dante and Zahra regrouped at the bottom of the ramp, then made their way to the back. The referee tended to The Miz as Warfare went off the air.
