All men exchange blows, though between the four of them though none of them manage to take the advantage and no eliminations happen. Young was able to land a DDT on Hardy but could not get the 3 count. Young was able to unleash a series of offenses and went to the top rope, but was stopped by Roode, however this ended up leading to an amazing double suplex from Hardy, however, he could not pick up an elimination from this.
