He apologized to the audience for losing the match and it meant the world to him to perform in front of the New York fans.
- Randy Orton pinned AJ Styles after converting the Phenomenal Forearm from Styles to an RKO. It was a long match. Early in the match, Gallows and Anderson pulled Styles out of the ring and attempted to leave. But the Viking Raiders came out and started brawling, forcing Styles back in the ring.
- Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch retained her title against Charlotte Flair and Asuka. This was the first-ever women’s steel cage match in the history of Madison Square Garden. The finish was set up similar to Ric Flair vs Sting finish from Great American Bash 1990. Charlotte went for figure eight but Becky turned it into a small package for the pin.

- Lana ended her promo saying that there was no one who could stand up to her Lashley and dared anyone in the back to face him. Ricochet answered the challenge and defeated Lashley with a rollup.
- Seth Rollins defeated Kevin Owens in a No Holds Barred Match for the main event. Before the match, Rollins and Owens cut a promo about why the audience has turned on Rollins. During the match, they brawled into the crowd and went around the building before returning to the ringside area. As Owens was looking for the win, AOP came out and attacked him. Rollins hit him with a stomp on the flat table and got the pin.
- Samoa Joe made the save afterward as he returned to action from the injury. He fought off the AOP, using a Singapore Cane and crashed Rollins through a table to close the show.
