Rey and Dominik controlled the bout early on, but the Usos quickly took control by isolating the former world champion. Eventually, Dominik tagged in and gained the upper hand with a springboard moonsault for a two count.But when he went for a dive to the outside, The Usos caught him and slammed him into the barricade.

Jimmy then stopped Rey from hitting the 619, but the elder Mysterio still kicked out after an Uso Splash. Still, The Usos teamed up to pin Rey and take the titles. As a result, Jimmy and Jey won their seventh championship together.
