The match came about after The Ascension cut off Slater’s promo, and Shane McMcMahon made the match official, calling for it to start on the spot. The final moments of the match saw Slater get whipped outside after he jumped on Konnor’s back. Rhyno turned and shoulder tackled him outside, then gored Viktor for the win.
