The match started with both superstars trying to get the better of each other with their offenses. It was a high paced match with some great high-risk moves from both Rey and Andrade.  The match was filled with many jaw-dropping moves and tons of near falls and the crowd seemed to love every bit of it.

But after an incredible back and forth action, Andrade got the victory with a little help from Selina.

 Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman Segment:

As always Paul Heyman introduced the reigning Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and reminded the WWE universe what Brock did to Seth Rollins with a video from last week. Paul also informed the crowd that Seth Rollins was there in the arena. Right after that, Seth dragged himself to the ring with a steel chair in his hand just to get brutalized by Brock Lesnar again. In the end, Brock looked dominant and Seth looked helpless as Brock hit an F5 to Seth and left the ring with the title. And after Brock leaves Seth promised everyone to beat Brock at SummerSlam.
