Miz takes an early lead, but Jey counters with a backslide, kicking out. They trade finisher attempts, with Jey sending Miz to the floor for a dive. Miz executes Cena's five moves of doom, but Jey escapes the AA. Jey hits a superkick, followed by a spear and the Uso Splash for the win.
Winner: Jey Uso
Grade: C+
A solid match, showcasing Miz's skills. He deserves more recognition for his in-ring abilities.
Backstage Segment:
Ilja Dragunov tells Tomasso Ciampa that he'll only defend his championship against worthy opponents, disqualifying Ciampa. Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed inform Nick Aldis that they can select a teammate from any roster for WarGames. WWE Champion Cody Rhodes challenges Bronson Reed to a title defense tonight.

Dragunov dominates early, but Axiom counters with a flying armbar and a modified springboard DDT. Axiom executes a Spanish Fly, but Dragunov counters with the Torpedo Moskau and hits the H-Bomb for the pin.
Winner and STILL United States Champion: Ilja Dragunov
Grade: B-
A solid match with a well-executed finish. Axiom's DDT should be his finishing move. Dragunov's avoidance of a feud with Ciampa is puzzling, and the story's potential remains untapped. Stay tuned for more updates as the event progresses.
