Before the match, Zayn told ring announcer Tony Chimel to announce him tomorrow from Syria because he has Syrian blood. Then, he said in Arabic, &#8220;Hello hello Arab people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(4) The Shield (Seth Rollins &amp; Roman Reigns) beat The Wyatts (Luke Harper &amp; Erick Rowan) in a tag match.<\/p>\n<p>(5) U.S. champion Dean Ambrose beat Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, and Cody Rhodes in a fatal four-way match to retain the U.S. Title. After the match, all four men shook hands, hugged, and raised Ambrose&#8217;s hand.<\/p>\n<p>(6) Sheamus beat Damien Sandow. Earlier in the show, Sandow told fans to cheer him.
