Then Edge had teamed up with Rey Mysterio and defeated the pair of Finn Balor and Damien Priest in a tag-team action, however, what followed next was a big surprise.
Dominik, son of Rey Mysterio, turned heel and launched a scathing attack on his father and the Rated R superstar. Beth Phoenix too got involved, and was taken down by Rhea.
Fast forward to January, Beth Phoenix made a sensational return to the company and hit Rhea with a spear, while she was assisting The Judgement Day at the event.

With Bayley already hurt, Lynch then hit her with a Manhandle Slam to wrap up the show.
Following the match, Lita made her way into the ring as both Becky and her shared hugs.
