The match started off with all four superstars in the ring. Within no time, the brawl spilled outside the ring, and saw all four men utilize any and every object they could lay their hands on. The match saw the use of chairs, trash cans, tables, hockey sticks and more.
In one scary spot, the WWE Universe saw Kevin Owens put the interfering Dominik Mysterio on a table and jump off from an elevated podium among the fans. The Prizefighter hit Dominik with a Swanton Bomb, but had a less-than-comfortable landing.

Kishan Prasad
Kishan is a WWE writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling and has been associated with the division for 8.5 years. Even though he doesn't work at Sportskeeda on a full-time basis, writing about wrestling keeps his passion for the sport alive. He reports on important updates from wrestlers and rumors from trustworthy sources.
Kishan recalls the best match he witnessed when he was just 6 – the Hell in a Cell Match at Armageddon 2000. Watching the six men push each other to their limits and then some made him realize how incredible pro wrestling is.
He graduated as a Chemical Engineer a few years before he began his journey with Sportskeeda. A couple of years as a non-contracted writer for the website became a full-time opportunity that included managing the pro wrestling division.
Kishan's favorite wrestler is Triple H, as he can pull him into any storyline. In today's era, one can call him a Seth "Freakin" Rollins fan for the same reason. When he is not writing for Sportskeeda, Kishan works as a digital marketing professional.
