In the Kickoff show, it was announced that the scheduled match between Rey Mysterio and Andrade would not take place. Instead, both of them would be joined by R-Truth and Samoa Joe in a fatal four-way match for the United States championship.

The fatal four-way match would end up being one of the best matches of the night. The US championship has been neglected for a long time, so it being on the main card of the pay-per-view is a nice sight to see.

After dispatching R-Truth, Mysterio, and Andrade, Joe would probably move to the rumored feud with John Cena at Wrestlemania.


#4 The Samoan Slaughterhouse post-match attack

The Samoans gave out a vicious beatdown.

The team of Nia Jax and Tamina faced-off against Sasha Banks and Bayley for the Women's championship.

After a tightly contested match, the champions ended up retaining the title. Post-match, Tamina and Nia attacked Sasha and Bayley. The beatdown spread outside the ring and Beth Pheonix, who was in the commentary also got involved. Nia and Tamina attacked Beth and when Natalya went to save the Glamazon, they laid her out as well.

The Samoan Slaughterhouse stood tall after all the carnage, effectively portraying themselves as a dominant team in the women's tag-team division.

The attack might also lead to the return of Beth Pheonix as a competitor, forming the team "Divas of Doom" with Natalya.
