Ricochet© VS Samoa Joe
Next up it was time for the rematch for the WWE United States Championship between Ricochet© and Samoa Joe. Albeit the very obvious difference of the roles of champion and challenger reversed.

Ricochet ended up getting the victory by way of pinfall after he hit the Recoil then dragged his opponent over to one of the corners, then proceeded to climb up to the top rope. Then put an end to things in a rather spectacular fashion with a 630 Splash for the win.
