2-on-1 Handicap Match: T-BAR and MACE vs. Braun Strowman
We go right to the ring and out first comes the team of T-BAR and MACE. They are not wearing the masks but they do have new face paint on. We get pre-recorded backstage promos from the former RETRIBUTION members as they head to the ring. We see Drew McIntyre backstage warming up now. Braun Strowman approaches and they argue over last week with Braun taking credit for saving Drew’s career last week. Braun tells Drew to follow his lead, kid. Drew says Braun sometimes speaks before he thinks. They continue arguing and Braun says he’s going out there to beat MACE and T-BAR by himself to prove a point. Braun heads to the ring.
Mike Rome starts introductions but Braun snatches the mic and says no, this is no longer a tag team match, it’s a 2-on-1 Handicap Match, something Drew couldn’t get done last week but he will right now. The bell rings and Braun takes T-BAR to the corner, beating him down. T-BAR fights back but Braun beats him around the ring. Braun with big splashes in the corner for a pop.

T-BAR tags back in and keeps the assault going in their corner. MACE with another quick tag and more beatdown in their corner. Braun kicks MACE away as they keep fighting.
