With a one-day alliance between The Judgment Day and The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa took on one of The Judgment Day’s problem in Rey Mysterio.

Mysterio was bravely up to the challenge, with Sikoa being on an unstoppable role as of late. As Sikoa was about to hit the running hip slam in the corner, The Master of the 619 rolled out of the way, but The Street Champion kicked out of Rey’s rollup attempt.

Sikoa leveled Mysterio with a Samona drop, but Rey narrowly kicked out at two. Mysterio fought back with a 619 and a Splash, Sikoa somehow survived the onslaught. Mysterio looked to redial the 619 as The Usos hit the scene and distracted the WWE Hall of Famer. The LWO appeared, however, to combat The Usos.

Another 619 led to diaster for Mysterio, as Sikoa moved out the way when Mysterio was about to hit his top-rope splash. Sikoa then obliterated Mysterio with the Samoan Spike to add him to his list of victims.

Belair’s athleticism was once again on display as she continually leaped out of the way of Kai’s kicks.

Kai’s offense was no match for Belair’s strength, as The EST muscled Kai up with squats before dropping her with a suplex, followed by a superb moonsault.

Kai had answers for almost all of Belair’s offense, getting out the K.O.D. and a Glam Slam. Belair’s second attempt at the K.O.D. hit the money, however, ending Kai’s dreams of toppling the Raw Women’s Champion.

As Riddle was setting up the Floating Bro to the outside, Priest caught him and dropped him with a Chokeslam on the ring apron.
