For some reason, Curt Hawkins interrupts him. He says he is feeling lucky and wants to face Elias so he can break his losing streak. Elias calls Hawkins a loser and tells him to leave.

The women's division is around the ring when we return. Stephanie McMahon comes out to have a special presentation for Ronda Rousey. She talks about how proud she is of all the women in the division and the upcoming Evolution PPV.

Stephanie takes credit for Rousey's success. Before she can finish talking, Rousey makes her way to the ring. Ronda refuses a handshake from Steph. Rousey invites all of the women to get on the apron because they are on the same level.
Rousey promises she won't be like Brock Lesnar and plans on competing regularly. Stephanie shows a picture of what Rousey did to Bliss last night to show how violent she is. Ronda says she will only break the arms of people who deserve it and starts getting closer to Steph. She brings McMahon down and puts her in the armbar for a few seconds.

Braun hands in the briefcase, but before the bell can ring, The Shield's music hits and we see Rollins and Ambrose come out in their Shield gear to back up their friend. Strowman stares down all three men before he goes after Reigns. Rollins and Ambrose pounce on him immediately. Ambrose takes apart an announce table so they can put Braun through it with 
the Triple Powerbomb. Strowman kicks Reigns away, but he gets nailed with a Spear a second later. They grab Strowman again and put him through the table.

The show ends with The Shield standing over the body of Strowman.

Rating: 70/70
Pretty decent show and matches but the most awesome part was the ending.
