The nWo’s Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and X-Pac come to the ring and Hall takes a survey, then Nash plugs the WWE Network and he talks about starting the Monday Night Wars. Nash says they are responsible for everything great ever, then Pac pumps the crowd up before The Ascension cuts them off. Viktor says all he sees is three old dogs waiting to be put down, and Konnor says they’ll be the ones to do it because no one is better than them. He says there’s no one past, present or future better than them, and it’s sure not going to be a WCW tag team to best them, so they welcome them to the wastelands.
Hall throws his toothpick in their face and they all start to talk trash, then JBL tells them to hold up and he has a lot to say about this. JBL says they don’t know anything about being a great tag team, and they can paint their faces and act the part, but he called a former legend he knows very well. JBL reveals he’s wearing an APA t-shirt as Ron Simmons walks out, and they get in the ring, but ‘Oh, you didn’t know?!’ cues up. The New Age Outlaws cut them off and Road Dogg says they can’t have a party without them, and he says they’re all thoroughbreds, but The Ascension are a couple of jackasses. Road Dogg throws the first punch before everyone takes a shot, then JBL hits the ropes and drops Viktor with a clothesline before everyone celebrates.
BP: I know a lot of people will go ahead and say The Ascension just got ‘buried’, but that’s ridiculous. Their angle needed a payoff, and that was a good way to do it; they didn’t have to lose a match this early, and it will be a memorable moment.
Triple H and Stephanie ask for a drum roll so a drummer starts doing it, and they announce John Cena will face Seth Rollins, Kane and Big Show, with them ringside. They make a few jokes about the drummer not doing it right and make him leave, then a guy plays military taps on a trumpet.
BP: This was another one of those waste of time segments. Enough said.

Paige hits Summer a few times before Nattie tags in, and Summer spin kicks Nattie before Alicia hits her in the corner.

Paige hits some clotheslines and a dropkick off the tag, then she kicks Alicia in the face but Summer breaks up the pin.
