The match was a hard-fought contest from start to finish, as Woods hoped to gain the upper hand by keeping Lashley off his rhythm. However, Lashley quickly began to dominate; he picked Woods up and easily dropped him over the ropes and down onto the floor. Lashley then began to toy with Woods by using his strength advantage to maintain control.

Woods rallied and locked in a crossface on Lashley, but the WWE Champion quickly broke free and hit a huge spinebuster in return. As the two stars continued to go back and forth, Woods used a brief moment of hesitation from Lashley to quickly roll him up for the shocking victory. Needless to say, Lashley was stunned by this outcome ahead of his title match at WWE Money in the Bank.
