Cruiserweight Championship: Buddy Murphy vs. Cedric Alexander
They go back and forth with lots of quick moves. Cedric drops Murphy across the ring apron and then hits his finisher. It’s only good for a two count as the champ gets his foot on the bottom rope. The challenger is sent head first into the middle turnbuckle. Murphy’s Law and the title stays put.

Ladder Match: Elias vs. Bobby Lashley
To win, you must retrieve the guitar hanging above the ring. Lio Rush tries to help Lashley, who is using his strength to toss Elias across ladders. The end sees Elias get to the top of a ladder, where Lio Rush meets him. He shoves Rush off and Elias grabs the guitar for the victory to close the pre-show. After the match, Elias takes a beating from Lashley and Rush. Lashley smashes the guitar over Elias’ back and leaves with Rush.

Mixed Match Challenge Finals: Fabulous Truth (R-Truth & Carmella) vs. Mahalicia (Jinder Mahal & Alicia Fox)
The winners get the number 30 spot at January’s Royal Rumble match. We get an early dance break, with The Singh Brothers showing their moves. R-Truth and Carmella toss them from the ring. Carmella makes Alicia Fox tap to earn the number 30 spots and a vacation. Apparently R-Truth already picked their vacation spot and it’s WWE Headquaters in Stanford, Connecticut. Carmella doesn’t seem happy.
The winners of this match get the #30 slot in the Royal Rumble because obviously we’re going to WrestleMania with R-Truth headlining #WWETLC

When the most over thing on a wrestling program is a dance break you begin to understand why the ratings are what they are #WWETLC

SmackDown Tag Team Championship: The Bar vs. The New Day vs. The Usos
Only two wrestlers are allowed in the ring at once. The Usos hit super kicks on everyone. Lots of double team moves, which includes different teams working together. Kofi Kingston takes out mostly everyone on the outside. Xavier Woods gets caught with a brogue kick by Sheamus while getting back in the ring and The Bar keep their belts.
That’s a big NOPE from @WWECesaro.
