Montez Ford inadvertently knocked Zelina Vega off the ring apron to the floor, leading to Andrade to go check on her. As Garza went for a tag with no one there, Dawkins hit him with a spinebuster into a frog splash from Ford & the win. - No Disqualification Loser Leaves WWE Match: Mandy Rose defeated Sonya Deville
Mandy connected with several running knees in succession & pinned Sonya. Otis came down to the ring after & the two celebrated. Sonya Deville is officially gone from WWE. - Street Fight: Seth Rollins defeated Dominik Mysterio
Rollins & Murphy handcuffed Rey to the ring ropes with Dominik grounded in the middle of the ring. Seth stood over Dominik & taunted an outstretched Rey before hitting The Stomp & getting the win. - RAW Women’s Championship Match: Asuka defeated Sasha Banks (c)
In the same spot from the Bayley match, Asuka went for a hip attack on Sasha Banks up against the ropes with Bayley on the ring apron. Bayley dodged instead of taking the hit & as Sasha went for The Banks Statement, Asuka countered into The Asuka Lock & Sasha tapped out. Asuka is the new RAW Women’s Champion. - WWE Championship Match: Drew McIntyre (c) defeated Randy Orton
Orton ducked a Claymore Kick from McIntyre & went for an RKO as Drew got up. Drew countered into a backslide & pinned Orton. - Falls Count Anywhere Universal Championship Match: The Fiend defeated Braun Strowman (c)
Strowman tore up the ring exposing the wood underneath. The Fiend popped up & hit multiple Sister Abigails onto the wood for the win. The Fiend is the new Universal Champion - After the match, Roman Reigns returned & speared The Fiend in the ring. He then speared Strowman on the outside & beat him down with chair shots. Reigns returned to ring, speared The Fiend again & held up The Universal Championship as the show went off the air.
