Nick Aldis then announced Aleister Black vs Cody Rhodes as the main event.
When both wrestlers were down during the match, McIntyre suddenly entered the ring and attacked the referee, Dan Engler, with a Claymore kick.

Interestingly enough, Dan was also the referee for McIntyre’s match against Cody on Saturday Night Main Event.
Shortly after McIntyre’s attack, Damian Priest came to save the day. He attacked Black and McIntyre, who were doubling up on The American Nightmare.
