#3 Jeff Hardy (c) vs. Randy Orton - United States Championship match

The Viper has his prey in a death grip

Hardy started the match off with a lot of intensity, with a sliding kick to Randy, sending him crashing into the barricades followed by a huge dive from the ring to the outside. Randy reversed a Twist of Fate but took a flying kick on the outside sending him into the barricades again. Randy caught Jeff with a huge dropkick as he was entering the ring and continued to assault him outside.

Hardy caught The Viper with a Whisper in the Wind but failed to get the three count. Randy replied with a snake eyes DDT and set up for the RKO out of nowhere but Jeff reversed it and delivered a Twist of Fate. Jeff ran up to the top rope and delivered a Swanton bomb and managed to get the pinfall, retaining his title.

Result: Jeff Hardy def. Randy Orton and retained the United States championship

Tough luck for fans of Elias

We returned from a short commercial to see Elias in the ring with his guitar. Elias spoke about how he's good friends with Bruce Springsteen and that he calls Elias 'The Boss'. He recalled a conversation with Bruce and dedicated the song to him but the audience kept interrupting Elias. The New Day's music hit and Elias' performance was officially over. Elias offered The New Day autographs and Kofi Kingston said they want to jam with him for a one-time performance.

Elias replied that he's a strictly a solo act but The New Day began playing without him before Elias stopped the performance. Elias was about to start playing again and this time he was interrupted by Aiden English and Rusev who called Elias a bootleg Bob Dylan.

Elias shut them up too and was about to begin yet again when he was interrupted by No Way Jose, Titus Worldwide and Breezango. A very angry Elias called for another restart as Bobby Roode appeared from behind the ring and hit Elias with a glorious DDT.
