Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan make their way to the ring with Dean Ambrose set to defend his WWE World Championship against Dolph Ziggler. Ambrose and Ziggler start the fight after exchanging a few slaps. The fight then moves to the outside of the ring with The Showoff landing a swinging neckbreaker and tries to roll the champion inside the ring but Ambrose tries to counter it with Dirty Deeds, however, Ziggler manages to evade it.

Ambrose then lines up Ziggler at the top rope and teases Dirty Deeds, which is blocked by The Showoff but the Lunatic Fringe still manages to land a suplex. After some swing of momentum between the two, Ambrose heads to the top rope, but his daredevil move is countered expertly by Ziggler who lands the dropkick.

The Lunatic Fringe then teases a Sweet Chin Music and Dirty Deeds but Ziggler is able to counter and send his opponent outside of the ring. Ambrose is then met with a flying DDT, before Ziggler sends him shoulder-first into the ring post and then nails the Fameasser, but the Lunatic Fringe breaks his pin at 2.

After some more tussle between the two, Ambrose makes a comeback after reversing Ziggler’s attempted Irish Whip and follows it with a clothesline and a running bulldog. Ziggler is then met a flying elbow from the top rope by the reigning champion. The fight then moves away from the ring, where Ziggler fights back by delivering a Superkick.

The Showoff tries to hit another Superkick, but Ambrose tries to counter by Dirty Deeds which is ultimately reversed into a Zig Zag by Ziggler, but Ambrose kicks out from the pin. Ambrose then nails a clothesline to get the momentum on his side. The Lunatic Fringe goes to the top, but Ziggler tries to counter allowing the champion to nail Dirty Deeds and pin him for the win, allowing Ambrose to retain the WWE World Championship.

Result: Dean Ambrose beats Dolph Ziggler by pinfall to retain the WWE World Championship
