Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar
If you have been watching Brock Lesnar's matches over a period of time, you will know they are usually quick contests, this followed the same path and led to a DQ win for Bobby Lashley after Brock hit him with a low blow whilst attempting to escape the Hurt Lock. 

Brock hit the referee, Chad Patton, with an F5, likewise to Bobby, followed by F5's on and through the announce table. This was chaos and carnage, we did not see Bray Wyatt here, who issued a challenge to Bobby and Brock on the SmackDown go home show, let's see what happens next with that story. 

Mixed Tag Team Match
Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. Finn Balor & Rhea Ripley
This was a battle of the Alter Bridge theme songs, the crowd taunted Dominik, who distracted Beth and ran to the back, he walked back out and was met with boo's, we saw many move sequences in and and outside the ring, Edge & Beth hit the Shatter Machine on Finn Balor for the win, this was a great match and a measure of revenge for the "Grit Couple"

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match
Roman Reigns (c) vs. Sami Zayn 
Roman was booed and Sami cheered while they made their respective ring walks, shoutout to Samantha Irvin for her great ring announcing here and throughout the show as usual, this was an even contest with many near falls, as expected, Jimmy Uso made an appearance while the referee was knocked down to the floor, another one suffered the same fate minutes later, Roman and and Sami exchanged Superman Punches.

Paul Heyman gave Roman a steel chair, Jey appeared in the ring, Roman handed Jey the chair, there was a moment were Jey was about to pull the trigger and hit Roman, he pushed Jey, Sami speared Jey inadvertently, Sami was hit with multiple chair shots, Roman speared Sami for the win and to remain Undisputed WWE Universal Champion.  

Jimmy beatdown Sami after the match, Kevin Owens' music hit, he went on to stun Roman and Jimmy Uso, he put Jimmy through the table with a Pop-up Powerbomb, he then stunned Paul Heyman, Sami hit Roman with a Helluva Kick, the crowd sang along to his theme as Sami looked on in disappointment, this was a hell of a match and one hell of a night.
