Angel Garza and Mansoor kicked off the match and Mansoor had the early advantage before he was dropped on the turnbuckles. Angel got a knee in the corner before Mansoor came back with some big kicks. Garza went for the Wing Clipper and pinned Mansoor.
Erik of The Viking Raiders was up next and he was caught on the apron before Garza went up and hit a massive dive, only to be caught and dumped on the outside by Erik.
After a break on SmackDown, Garza pinned Erik and eliminated him before Shanky came out to join the match. Shanky was tossing Garza around and got a quick pin, eliminating him.
Ivar was in next and took down Shanky in the ring with a Bronco Buster before hitting a top rope dive and getting the elimination. Sheamus joined the match next and unloaded on Ivar as we headed for a break.
