At first, Cody didn’t seem to take his rival so seriously and seemed visibly upset about sharing the ring with him. Warhorse would attack first by hitting a large loot, although Rhodes wasn’t too shocked by the trade. Cody would then aim at his opponent’s leg, showing off his fighting technical advantage, and hit a large superplex.
Rhodes once again showed his arrogance by doing push-ups inside the ring, allowing Warhorse to get something back. The challenger managed to land a fall from the top rope elbow that was good for a close fall, but was unable to seal the deal. Cody would lock himself in a figure four to get the submission victory.

After the game, members of the Dark Order hit the ring and attacked Rhodes and Warhorse. Matt Cardona, the former Zack Ryder, ran in and saved his friend.
