Titus O'Neil vs. Big E
Very short match. Rusev is on the ramp waving his flag. Titus attacks from behind, but his momentum doesn't last long. Big E hits a few clotheslines, a suplex, a running splash and the Big Ending for the win.
After the match, Big E finds himself an American flag and he and Rusev have a wave-off.
Winner: Big E
KILLAM: A filler match on PPV, but Rusev shouldn't be involved in anything too serious while he's still being built up. It sucks Big E will probably do the job, but you've got to crack a few eggs…

Jack Swagger vs. Adam Rose
Zeb Colter is on commentary. Rose runs around the ring with a sucker in his mouth. Swagger gets frustrated trying to catch him, and when he does catch him, Rose is just all kinds of weird. Swagger catches Rose who bats his eyes at him, and Jack retreats to the outside and yells at Colter, “what just happened?” JBL makes a Harpo Marx comment. He rolls back in the ring and Rose rolls him up with a bridge for the quick, surprise win.
KILLAM: This was supposed to be a PPV match, but apparently they decided to go with Rusev over Rose as the rookie to push this Sunday. Some people are worried about Rose becoming a “comedy character” and not liking the current gimmick. I thik it's a GREAT sign that people aren't signing his theme song like they did Fandango. It means he won't be a flash in the pan, and he has a chance to build fan support naturally. Wrestling is supposed to be fun – remember that.
