WWE Divas Championship
– Paige vs. Nikki Bella
After a quick backstage interview with Paige, we shoot back inside the arena in Columbus for our Divas Championship match of the evening.
Out first comes the contender, Paige, followed by the champ, Nikki Bella. We see several Divas watching on from backstage on a monitor.
Straight from the word “go,” Nikki Bella is dominating Paige inside the squared circle. We get another shot of the other Divas watching on from backstage.
Nikki goes for her Rack Attack finisher, but Paige reverses it into a Ram-Paige finisher. However, Bella still manages to kick out at two, to the dismay of Paige.
As the action continues, Brie Bella runs to the ring to pull off “Twin Magic” on her sisters behalf, but unfortunately, Paige reverses Brie and pins her.
Unfortunately, the ref caught the twin switch, so he didn’t acknowledge the pin from Paige. Seconds later. Nikki hits her finisher on Paige. 1-2-3. The ref counts that one and Nikki wins.
Winner and STILL WWE Divas Champion: Nikki Bella
WWE Intercontinental Championship
– Big Show vs. Ryback
After the previous match, we return back to the ring where The Miz comes out. Video highlights are shown of Miz getting beat up on RAW and how it led to this match tonight.
From there, Big Show makes his way to the ring for tonight’s match. Out next is the WWE I-C Champ, Ryback. The Miz joins the gang on commentary for this one.
Immediately, Ryback nearly gets Big Show with the Shellshock. Ryback ends up getting Big Show out of the picture and turning his attention to the announce table.
The Miz left the announce table, only for Ryback to take him out and return to the ring, where Big Show is waiting for him. Big Show is in complete control of the action now.
The action continues, with Big Show nearly scoring the finish a few times, including hitting him with a Chokeslam and the KO Punch, however out of nowhere, The Miz hits the ring and attacks Big Show first. As a result, Big Show wins via DQ, however Ryback retains.
Winner and STILL WWE Intercontinental Champion: Ryback
Kevin Owens vs. John Cena
It’s time for our rematch from the WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view between NXT Champion Kevin Owens and WWE United States Champion John Cena.
First out, to a huge ovation from the fans in Columbus, is the NXT Champion — Kevin Owens. Out next is his opponent for this evening, WWE U.S. Champion John Cena, who comes out to the usual mixed-bag reaction from the fans.
As the official introductions are taking place, Owens holds up his NXT title to a huge ovation. Cena is next, and he holds up his U.S. title, but everyone boo’s loudly. The fans are clearly behind Owens — not Cena — in Columbus, Ohio.
It doesn’t take long before this match immediately begins to look like their Elimination Chamber match, as each guy has their moments, but ultimately, each guy dominates the other — until the other guy fights back and takes control of the offense. Meanwhile, the crowd is eating up every second of this match.
From there, each guy takes turns hitting high-risk moves on the other. It seemed like Owens was getting the better of Cena and that it was just a matter of time, however Cena hits a big move, which leads right into an A.A. from Cena. 1-2-3.
Winner: John Cena
