Ambrose would come out of nowhere and hit an elbow, only for Orton to join the fray and brawl with The Lunatic Fringe.

The Viper would finally work his way back in and brawl with Rollins for awhile.
Outside of the ring, Ambrose, Reigns and Rollins would hit the triple power bomb on Orton! Rollins would think that they were reuniting The Shield, but Reigns and Ambrose knew better so they beat him down.
Ambrose and Reigns would then team up and hit two power bombs on Kane through the announcer table. This got a huge reaction from the crowd.

Kane would finally make his way back to the ring and cause a distraction. He would get RKO’d but Rollins came back quickly with a Pedigree on Orton for the pinfall victory.
Rob’s Note: Wow, what a match. This blew away everything else we saw during the night. The drama, the excitement, the thrills, it was all there. This may have been overbooked, but it was overbooked to perfection.
This should also be the end of whether Kane is on the side of The Authority or not. Hopefully that storyline is over.
