At the event, John Cena delivered an Attitude adjustment on Seth Rollins and went for the pinfall but the latter kicked out. When Seth attempted pedigree, Cena countered and went for the Figure Four Leglock but Seth countered it and held John, who managed to reach the ropes. John then attempted another Attitude adjustment but wasn’t successful in pinning “The Visionary”.
