Styles accepted a free ride to the finals, but Bryan insisted on earning his way in the tournament, leading to a battle royal to determine his opponent.

Sheamus would win the match and face off with Bryan in the main event, coming up short when Hardy returned to cause a distraction before eventually beating down the Irishman as the show went off the air.

WWE staff member Adam Pearce told the wrestlers that both men would not be competing in their respective intercontinental title tournament matches.

AJ Styles pushed for a bye to face Daniel Bryan in the finals but Bryan said they should face replacement opponents -- an idea Styles refused, instead taking his bye.

Sheamus and King Corbin pushed to get back in the tournament, but were shouted down by Jey Uso, Dolph Ziggler and everyone else in the back.

But once Evans told Deville, "Mandy will always be better than you," Deville flipped the switch, stopping the amateur angle and turning the match into a brawl.

The fight continued on the outside briefly before Evans got back in the ring and told Deville to get back in the ring.

After the women traded barbs, Bliss pointed out that Banks was the only person in the ring without a championship.

Bliss told Bayley and Banks that they could have a shot at the women's tag championship anytime, anywhere!

This led Bayley to throw down a challenge -- a challenge for Banks to take on Bliss one-on-one.

As Banks protested the idea, pointing out she didn't even have her wrestling boots, Bliss dropkicked her from the ring.

The early portion was heavy on pinning combinations before Banks, wearing tennis shoes and yoga pants to Bliss' full ring gear, brought a bit of nastiness.

Cross and Bayley got involved on the ring apron and the distraction allowed Banks to take out Bliss and roll her up for the pin after a solid effort from both women.
