The show kicked off with Big E defending his WWE Championship against former titleholder Bobby Lashley. After Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin interfered, reuniting the Hurt Business, Big E faced Lashley in a steel cage match to close the show, retaining his gold.
After his successful defence, Big E was confronted by Drew McIntyre. The Scotsman was unable to challenge for the WWE Championship due to a stipulation enforced after he was pinned by Lashley at Hell in a Cell in June.
This year’s WWE Draft officially begins on Friday’s episode of SmackDown, and will continue on next week’s edition of Raw. WWE has reportedly discussed a main roster call-up for a popular NXT team, ahead of the roster shake-up.
