The New Day (c) vs. Tyson Kidd & Cesaro
New Day comes down and cuts a promo running down the Baltimore Orioles. A player is in the crowd – Adam Jones. New Day Sucks chant. Kidd & Cesaro gets the first pin in a couple minutes with a swing/dropkick combo.Xavier Woods wants to join the match under “Freebird Rules” for the second fall. Not allowed, stays as Big E and Kofi. Back and forth, Kofi flies down and gets the second fall for the New Day. Scary spot where Cesaro picked up Big E for a pedigree and kinda dropped him. Finish comes when the ref is distracted, Xavier comes in and rolls up Kidd for the pin. It is ridiculously racist to claim twin magic with Xavier and Kofi.
Winners: New Day
Elimination Chamber promo.
Ryback vs. Bray Wyatt
Back and forth brawl. They got out of each other’s finishers. Finish sees Bray undo the top turnbuckle pad. Ryback kinda touches it and sells huge. Bray hits Sister Abigail for the pin.
