Can Finn Bálor score another victory over the imposing Bobby Lashley, despite Lio Rush's presence at ringside, or will the dominant Superstar claim his first win over The Extraordinary Man?
For a long time, Lio Rush has propelled Bobby Lashley to the next level strictly by way of his talk. This week, The 23-Year-Old Piece of Gold swung the action in a far more direct way, interfering in Lashley’s third bout with Finn Bálor to hand The Rocky Mountain-Made Machine his first win of the series.
Not only did The Man of the Hour trip Bálor up at the start of the match, he continued to pester the former Universal Champion throughout the contest — so much so that Finn took his eye off the ball to blast Rush with a dropkick as he began to close the gap against his foe. Lashley took advantage of Bálor’s preoccupation to turn the tables, hitting Finn with a spinebuster on the apron before finishing him off with the gutwrench slam.
Complicating matters was the arrival of Drew McIntyre, who was slated to face Kurt Angle in the main event after Braun Strowman chased Baron Corbin out of the building. The Scottish Psychopath didn’t seem to care who he fought, though: He forced Lashley out of the ring by his mere presence, then downed Bálor with a Claymore after helping the Irishman to his feet in a fraudulent show of respect.
