Jon Moxley had to employ his now-often used Bulldog-Choke to instead make sure the giant wrestler faded to sleep. With the leader of The Dark Order passed out, the referee rang the bell and called Moxley's victory.
Brodie Lee would go on to become the TNT Champion and remains one of the most beloved wrestlers in his passing.

The former friends put up an excellent bout and used the no disqualification stipulation to their advantage. Reigns took out Rollins, and Ambrose capitalized by finishing off Reigns and retaining the title.
