They were scheduled to face The Judgement Day, but things didn’t go as planned. This week on RAW, JD McDonagh took out Sami Zayn backstage, effectively beginning an angle that Vince McMahon had put on hold. This allowed for another surprising angle during the main event. Shinsuke Nakamura was then chosen to replace Sami Zayn in the contest.
In the main event, the babyfaces defeated the Judgement Day, but the action was far from finished. The King of Strong Style turned on Cody Rhodes when he, Seth Rollins, and Shinsuke Nakamura were celebrating. Shinsuke Nakamura kicked out Seth Rollins, leaving Cody Rhodes perplexed.
