Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens attacked WWE Champion, Big E and Bobby Lashley.
One week ago, Bobby Lashley carried out the Herculean task of overcoming Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins and WWE Champion Big E in individual matchups and transformed the WWE Championship contest at WWE Day 1 from a Triple Threat into a Fatal 4-Way Match.
As MVP talked about The All Mighty's accomplishment this week, Big E emerged to take issue as to why MVP felt he had to help his man by hitting the titleholder from behind during their high-stakes showdown. Lashley was also puzzled as to why MVP had interfered in last week's match with Big E and, in the spirit of competition, decided to leave the ring and let Big E and MVP work things out.
Before the issues could be settled, though, Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens emerged from behind Lashley and unleashed a ruthless attack on The All Mighty and The Powerhouse of Positivety. With their backs against the wall, Big E and Lashley expelled their attackers from the ring. (Via WWE.com)

The Mysterios defeated AJ Styles & Omos.
On "Miz TV," The A-Lister professed his love for his wife Maryse as he asked her not to discuss their life on "The Cutting Edge" talk show later in the night. This plea came in the wake of the incident last week involving The A-Lister using his beautiful spouse as a human shield.
In his subsequent talk show, Miz shifted gears and made strong allegations on the state of the tag team partnership between his special guests Omos and AJ Styles. Miz claimed that Omos had confided in him the many ways he was no longer happy with The Phenomenal One.
And when Styles and Omos battled the Mysterios in tag team action, Syles lifted his knees as Rey was attempting a splash. When Styles got to his corner, though, Omos refused to tag in and instead turned his body away from AJ. As Styles stood there stunned, The Master of the 619 rolled him up from behind and picked up the win.
When Styles got in his face after the bell and called him a "piece of trash," Omos shoved him back. In response, Styles attacked his Own Personal Colossus. When he tried to hit the Phenomenal Forearm, however, his enormous tag team partner caught him, hoisted Styles into the air and hurled him eight feet down to the canvas. Omos then made it clear that the next time Styles saw him, it would be in a match against him. (Via WWE.com)

After weeks of issues with Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler, Damian Priest got an opportunity at payback in a United States Championship Contenders Match against The Showoff.
When Roode made the mistake of taking Priest's legs out from under him and sending him crashing off the ring apron to the unforgiving ringside floor, Priest unleashed his "Damian side."
