However, Rey kicked out just in time, leading Jimmy to argue with the official. The latter tagged in and The Usos took the opposite corners amidst a “this is awesome!” chant.

Meanwhile, Dominik attacked Jimmy, but Jey made the save by taking Dominik onto the floor. Finally, the finish saw Jimmy rolling up Mysterio in the ring. After taking out Dominik outside, Jey Uso strengthened the pin from the apron, stopping Rey from kicking out.
