The match started with Mcintyre taking on the “Lunatic Fringe” Dean Ambrose and although it went dirty from there on, Roman was largely the support for the team during the whole match due to his long absence from the ring.

Still it was the deadly combo of the “Samoan aggression” which eventually took the game away from the MIZ and Shane McMahon and although everyone was expecting them to turn heel against each other , it went the same way whilst Shane lashing out at the MIZ after the defeat with some deadly punches and kicks down to his body.
