1. Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther for the WWE Championship. Ring announcer Alicia Taylor delivered in-ring introductions for the championship match. The fans sang Cody’s name before the bell rang to start the match. A loud “Let’s go, Gunther” chant broke out, and then fans went back to singing Cody’s name.

Cody connected with an uppercut from the mat. Cody went for a springboard move that Gunther cut off with a big chop. Gunther threw another chop at Cody before covering him for an early two count. Gunther went for a sleeper, but Cody took him down with an armdrag to avoid it, only to have Gunther drop him with a big boot.
