Eventually Sheamus tried getting in Slater's face, only for Slater to toss him out in 2 seconds. There was a recurring gag where everyone beat him up on the way - except Big E who gave him pancakes. Another hilarious spot saw Heath Slater ambushed by Corbin. Kofi Kingston put on his annual showing in a hilarious spot where Xavier Woods caught his foot and put it in pancakes so Kingston could stay safe. Want comedy spots?

These guys were creative in working several 2-on-1 spots including Owens tossing AJ into Zayn, only for Zayn to eat a hurricanrana from AJ. Owens and Zayn showed their trademark personalities with antics like tagging each other in repeatedly just to show they could. Ticket information for the four events is not yet available.Telling this story with three men who understand that psychology is what put this match over the top.
