Rusev vs. Bobby Lashley [Last Man Standing Match]

Lana then says that there will be no Last Man Standing Match since she had to file a restraining order against Rusev. The crowd chants Rusev Day and Lana says that Rusev Day is cancelled. Lana then claims that Lashley will gladly take the victory via forfeit.

The ref raises Lashley’s arm to make it official. Kevin Owens then comes out to interrupt and state that the show should not end with Lashley and Lana. Lana tells Owens to shut up, but Owens says he will continue to keep on #talking.
