Black Friday Battle Royal – winner receives a shot at the Universal Championship
Sheamus was right, no Drew McIntyre in the match, but he still makes his way down clearing the ring with his sword, Angela. Adam Pearce rushes down to get Drew out of the ring but he doesn’t leave but left on his own accord during the commercial break.
Sheamus, Ricochet, Jeff Hardy and Happy Corbin were the final four men. Sheamus eliminated Ricochet. Happy Corbin eliminates Sheamus and then Jeff Hardy eliminates Corbin to win.. or so we thought. Sami Zayn reappears, never being eliminated, to win the Black Friday Battle Royal.
