The match started great, with both Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre going at it without hesitation. Both men tried their best to ensure the other lost. While McIntyre had the upper hand, Rhodes capitalized by targeting his weak knee. This led fans to think that the Royal Rumble winner had the match in the bag. Unfortunately, a hooded Solo Sikoa appeared on the apron, delivering a devastating Samoa Spike to Rhodes. This let McIntyre capitalize with the Claymore for the win.
