The four-way match to determine who goes on to the Royal Rumble main evented the show, with Randy Orton, Damian Priest, and Trick Williams also part of the match.

The match ended when Priest hit a Razor’s Edge on Zayn, but instead went after Williams in the corner, leaving enough time for Zayn to recover and hit Priest with the Helluva Kick as soon as he got done with Williams. A three-count later and Zayn got his ticket to Riyadh and a chance to win the big one.
