The Judgement Day (Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio) w/Rhea Ripley vs. Seth Rollins, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cody Rhodes
As Judgement Day came to the ring, Raquel Rodriquez attacked Ripley from behind and hammered away on her until officials came out, but Ripley broke free and went back after her.
It took some doing, but the officials finally managed to get them separated.
Nakamura and Balor were going to start off, but Priest wanted in and tagged himself in and he and Balor exchanged words, so Dom tagged himself in.
Nakamura took him down right away and went for a pin. Dom headed to the floor to regroup as we headed to commercial.

Priest hit Cody with the MITB briefcase and handed it to Balor while Zayn came out and took out Priest. Rollins superkicked the briefcase into Balor’s face and Cody hit a Cross Rhodes for the win.
