Rob Van Dam vs. Dean Ambrose
US Championship Match

Ambrose entered on his own from in the stands with no sign of Rollins or Reigns. RVD was introduced second, and then bell ring with just about 25 minutes until the pay-per-view's start time. Ambrose got the early advantage throwing a shoulder block to take down RVD, and then he cockily backed into the corner to wait for RVD to get up. RVD responded for several takedowns and then did his double thumb point to get the crowd to chant "Rob Van Dam."

Ambrose took over again for a bit, but RVD battled back and punched/kicked on Ambrose in the corner. Ambrose responded on a whip to the corner with a boot to RVD's face. Later in the match, RVD went for Rolling Thunder at Ambrose in the corner. Ambrose moved away and RVD leapt onto the corner then sprang back for a flying cross body near fall. RVD managed to knock Ambrose to the mat and then looked at the fans before heading to the corner to set up for a Frogsplash. He was cut short when The Shield's theme music hit and they came down through the crowd.

Mark Henry's song came on and he came down to help RVD, followed by Big Show. WWE headed to a commercial break for the new WWE 2K14 video game. After break, Show/Henry and Rollins/Reigns were serving as lumberjacks of sorts on the outside. RVD had several near falls with the crowd hot. Ambrose later missed on a leg drop from the corner, and RVD set up on the corner for a move but was distracted by The Shield on the apron. RVD finally hit Rolling Thunder, and then connected on a Frogsplash for a pin. However, Reigns got into the ring and speared RVD down causing the ref to call for the bell. Henry and Big Show got into the ring to chase off The Shield who got into the crowd smiling at the save.

Winner: Rob Van Dam wins against Dean Ambrose due to disqualification. Ambrose retains the US Title
