AJ came out holding his arm, Finn Balor was his replacement. Balor hit a dropkick and falling gut buster. He then hit an STO. The last-minute change in opponents isn't fair. Balor landed the shotgun dropkick. Bray cut off Balor's dive. Balor busted Bray open on the ramp. He then won with Bloody Sunday.

AJ walked back out and stared down Bray.

Bray was not ready to face Balor and it showed. Was AJ faking the injury?
