Drew McIntyre comes to the ring with his sword and stares down Reigns. McIntyre drops the sword and squares off with Reigns. The two stars start brawling, and The Usos get involved. RK-Bor makes the save, and the trio trios are fighting as security officials try to separate them. After a commercial, the ring is clear, so order has seemingly been restored.
