United States Champion Sheamus def. Alberto Del Rio (Last Man Standing U.S. Title Match)
After exchanging bitter words on the mic at the start of the night, United States Champion Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio clashed in a Last Man Standing Match. As the war waged, Del Rio locked Sheamus in the Cross Armbreaker. But while still entangled in the painful hold, Sheamus used his might to hoist Del Rio and smash him through a table that was brought into the fray. With both Superstars down, they narrowly managed to stand up just before the referee reached his 10 count. But a Brogue Kick from Sheamus proved too much Del Rio, who could not rise to his feet for a second time.
On July 20, The Celtic Warrior has a chance to unify the U.S. and Intercontinental Titles when he competes in the Battleground Battle Royal for the Intercontinental Championship.

Afterward, Natalya and Naomi showed some compassion for the fallen Bella, but Cameron charged in to attack. Naomi quickly fought back and pursued her former partner out of the ring and up the entrance ramp.
