Lashley successfully defended his WWE Championship against Orton in the main event. He then continued to beat up the Viper putting him through a table. In doing so however, Lashley appeared to have tweaked his knee.

Big E then came out to a huge roar from the Boston crowd but Lashley did not want to defend his title due to his injured knee. Regardless, the bell rung and Big E took out the Almighty’s knee before following it up with a Big Ending. However, Lashley managed to break free and hit a spear on Big E for a two count.
