Roman and Edge talk to each other to dueling chants by the WWE Universe before locking up and Roman backs Edge to the corner for the break before they lock up again and Edge backs Roman into the corner before they exchange standing switches and Edge takes Roman down before Roman drops him with a shoulder block and plays to the crowd. Edge gets back into the ring and wrings the arm of Roman before Roman rocks him with a forearm before headbutting him in the corner and Edge drives him shoulder first into several posts before taking Roman down and Roman rolls out of the ring to regroup with Paul. Roman gets back inside and the two exchange strikes before Edge kicks Roman through the ropes and Roman hits a Samoan drop onto the floor before Edge gets back in at eight before Roman dumps him out of the ring and sends him into the steps before tossing him back inside for two. Roman beats on Edge in mount with forearms and headbutts before sending Edge into the post and playing to the crowd before hitting a float over suplex for two before locking in a cravat on the mat and Edge gets to his feet before laying into Roman with body shots until Roman drops him. Roman hits a drive-by for two before calling for a superman punch that Edge counters with a backslide for two before they boot each other before they exchange strikes until gets a deep two count before clotheslining Roman and hitting a flapjack into the Edgecution for another deep two count. Edge bounce Roman's face off of the post before Roman's trapped in the tree of woe before Edge stomps him and locks in an STF before Roman gets to the ropes for the break before setting up for a spear and Roman counters it into a guillotine before they spill out of the ring and onto the floor. Edge dodges a spear and Roman goes through the time keeper's area before Edge spears Roman through another part of the barricade before carrying Roman back to the ring and rolling him back inside for a near fall before Roman hits a superman punch that sends Edge into the referee. Roman grabs a piece of a chair and mocks Edge before Edge fights out of a cross face and locks in the cross face with the chair piece on Roman before the Usos come out to save Roman and are ran off by the Mysterios before Roman is saved by Seth. Seth then leaves after superkicking Edge to break the hold before Edge spears Roman when he goes for a spear of his own, before a referee runs down and counts the pin for a near fall before Seth comes back and distracts Edge before Roman spears him for the pin and the win.
