The heated rivalry between The Velveteen Dream and Roderick Strong reaches its boiling point in this week’s main event. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

The Velveteen Dream didn't miss a beat in his first in-ring action in months, finally taking down Roderick Strong. But it was Strong and The Undisputed ERA ultimately having the last laugh and making Dream pay for his psychological warfare. 

Renewing their rivalry in intense fashion, the foes' tensions boiled over into vicious blows in the match's closing moments until Dream was able to spike Strong with the Dream Valley Driver. With Dream poised to hit the Purple Rainmaker, The UE eventually disregarded Strong's edict to let him go it alone, appearing at ringside to momentarily occupy His Purple Highness's attention.

But Dream would not be rattled on his night. Thwarting the black-and-gold gang's attempted interference, he recovered quickly enough to hit Strong with a second Dream Valley Driver to put him away — and in style after a reveal of his latest sartorial spectacle, another pair of pants bearing the visage of Strong's wife, Marina Shafir. 

However, The Undisputed ERA descended upon Dream and the scene quickly resembled little more than a back-alley mugging. Dream left as a winner, but also suffered Strong's End of Heartache as a parting gift.
