In a shocking turn of events, Joe captured the gold from Friedman via submission.

Following the bout's conclusion, the masked assailants assaulted The Salt of the Earth. The lights went off for a moment, and when they got back, Adam Cole revealed himself as The Devil. He eventually took out his long-time ally with the help of his henchmen.

The assailants were revealed to be The Kingdom, Roderick Strong, and Wardlow. It remains to be seen how the compelling story progresses in the coming weeks.
