Preshow Highlights:

• So it seems like The Meta Powers are "The Mega Powers" (quotes intentional).
• Eden interviews Dolph Ziggler about his upcoming match with Sheamus. Ziggler admits that he doesn't know what side of Sheamus will come out. However, that doesn't matter; the only thing that matters is payback. This ends tonight.
• An Elimination Chamber match for Vacant's Intercontinental Championship is announced.
• Eden interviews The Bella Twins. When asked about Daniel Bryan, Brie says that he's doing everything he can to return to what he loves.

Backstage, Kane talks on the phone when Seth Rollins comes in. He asks Kane to put their animosity behind them and work together for the night. The two start arguing until Kane makes the point that Rollins should lose what he values most to teach him how to be a man. Kane says that he doesn't NEED his job, so he's content with watching Rollins lose.

Kane hasn't made a decision yet, but Rollins will be the first to know. Rollins responds by saying that Kane losing his job would pale in comparison to what Rollins would do to Kane

The New Day vs The Brass Ring Club (2/3 Falls for the WWE Tag Team Championship)

• Before the match, The New Day cuts one of their usual promos about being positive. They point out Adam Jones of the Baltimore Orioles before trashing the team for not winning a World Series in 32 years.
• Kidd and Kingston start. Cesaro is quickly tagged in and takes control of Kingston until Big E is tagged in. Cesaro does the "catch Big E and slam him down" spot for two. Big E responds with some strength of his own.
• Kingston is tagged in and received an AA from Cesaro. Cesaro then stomps on Big E and Kingston. Cesaro lifts Kingston in a suplex hold, strolls over to Kidd, and tags him in. After a few more seconds, Kidd and Cesaro drop Kingston for two.
• More double team insanity, and Cesaro/Kidd hit the Swing/Dropkick combo to win the first fall.
• During the break, Xavier Woods tries to invoke the Freebird Rule, but to no avail as Natalya pulls him off the apron.
• The action continues as Kidd vaults in and out of the ring. Kingston is nearly decapitated by a clothesline, and Kidd is almost taken out by a belly-to-belly on the outside after attempting a suicide dive.
• The New Day controls and trades tags as they keep assaulting Kidd. Kidd escapes a bearhug and tries to tag Cesaro, but Big E stops him and delivers his splash for two as Cesaro breaks the pin.

• Cesaro is finally tagged in and starts to clean house with lots of uppercuts. He tries to deliver a Tiger Driver to Big E, but to no avail as Big E wiggles out (I think they cancelled the move since it was evident that Big E was not in a safe position).
• Cesaro and Kidd deliver the Demolition Decapitation to Kingston, but this only earns a two count. Kidd locks in the sharpshooter, but Kingston reaches the ropes as Big E is thrown into the announce table.
• Cesaro and Kidd deliver a partner assisted Swiss Death and go for a pin, but it's broken up by Big E.

• The bell rings and both men start brawling with Ryback taking early control. The two men go in and out of the ring with Ryback maintaining control for a while until Wyatt launches himself at Ryback.
• Wyatt keeps control of Ryback despite a couple of comeback attempts. A DDT on the ring apron solidifies this control as well as a senton from the apron onto Ryback, who was lying on the floor.
• Ryback barely gets back into the ring before the ten count. When he gets back in, Wyatt resumes the offensive onslaught. Wyatt starts to taunt on the turnbuckle, which is a bad idea when Ryback delivers a powerbomb for two.

• Ryback starts teasing Shellshock when he is shoved into the corner. Wyatt lifts him onto the top rope and attempts a superplex, but Ryback fights off Wyatt and sends him to the mat. Ryback follows up with a splash for a two count, but this busts up Ryback's ribs some more.
• The ref counts as Ryback and Wyatt are down. Ryback gets up and approaches Wyatt, who was playing possum as he sparks up and goes for Sister Abigail. Ryback fights out and attempts Shellshock, but Wyatt fights out.

John Cena vs Rusev (I Quit match for the United States Championship)

• The bell ring, and both men stare at each other as the crowd chants at Cena. Rusev takes the mic and yells stuff before acknowledging the divided chants. He tells Cena to quit, and Mike Chioda asks Cena if he wants to quit. Cena's answer is to charge at Rusev.
• Rusev immediately takes control with his hard-hitting offense. A "we want Lana" chant starts, causing Rusev to leave the ring and move Lana to a better position.
• Rusev reenters and Cena tries to take control, but Rusev quickly quells this with his patented strikes. Chioda asks if Cena wants to quit, and Cena brushes the mic away.
• More strikes, and another asking from Chioda. The obvious answer is no as Cena earns more punishment before landing a huge clothesline. This is in vain as Rusev lands a spinning heel kick before acknowledging the Lana chants again. He goes out and speaks to Lana, who is just watching the match.
• Rusev tells Lana to give him the Russian flag, which she does. He starts emphatically waving it as Lana forces a smile out. The taunting gives Cena time to recuperate and land his shoulder tackles and Five Knuckle Shuffle. He goes for the AA, but Rusev fights out and lands a fall-away slam.
  
• Cena rolls out of the ring and brushes off another question by Chioda. Rusev targets Cena's shoulder as he is thrown into the steps. Alas, Cena will not quit.
• Cena is rolled back into the ring, and Rusev follows with the ring steps. The steps are set in the corner, and Cena is thrown into them. Chioda asks, Cena says no.
• Another whip into the steps, and this time Rusev asks Cena if he wants to quit, but to no avail. Rusev positions the steps in the middle of the ring and puts Cena on top of them, but Cena back drops Rusev from them.
• Cena goes for a cross-body, but is caught by Rusev and side-slammed onto the steps. Chioda asks, Cena says no.
• Rusev starts to set up for The Accolade with his foot-stomp, but Cena moves, causing Rusev to stomp the stairs. Cena then lands the AA on the stairs. Chioda asks Rusev, but Rusev doesn't answer.
• Rusev rolls outside, but Cena sets up for the Sixth Move of Doom. He throws the stairs, but Rusev moves out of the way. The two men end up on the timekeeper's barricade, and Cena tells Rusev that he will be speared through the barricade if he doesn't quit. Rusev roars "no", and is speared through the barricade.
• Despite the abuse, Rusev won't quit, and Cena goes looking for a weapon, and he finds it in the form of an equipment case. Cena starts to push it, but meets DAT KICK. Cena still doesn't quit.
• The men start fighting through the crowd in front of the technical area. Rusev does a lame Alabamaslam on the table, and Cena tries to counter with the AA, but Rusev fights out. Cena sets up a table and beats Rusev with a monitor. Rusev won't quit as Cena continues the abuse.
  
• Cena gets Rusev up and attempts another AA, but Rusev escapes and does hit the Alabamaslam through the table. Cena won't quit as Rusev starts getting mad. He looks for toys and finds the pyro set to his excitement.
• Rusev sets up for DAT KICK on the stage, but Cena moves out of the way and AAs Rusev onto the pyro set, setting off some pyro. A concerned Lana comes rushing up, but RUSEV DOES NOT QUIT!!!
  
• The next toy to be used is a steel barricade. As Rusev crawls away, Cena carries the barricade over. Rusev gets up, says no, and eats barricade. Rusev won't quit as Cena lines up for a third AA. Rusev fights out and suplexes Cena on the barricade. Cena, of course, doesn't quit.
• Rusev hosses Cena into the ring and lines up for DAT KICK, which he delivers. The Accolade is locked in, but Cena won't quit (note Rusev's fantastic selling). Despite attempts to break it, Rusev doesn't let go as Cena collapses. Although Cena passes out, it does not count as a victory as he didn't say "I quit"
• In frustration, Rusev uncovers the turnbuckle and unhooks the top rope. He then gets a bottle of water to wake Cena up before continuing the punishment. Rusev tries to hit Cena with the turnbuckle post, but Cena dodges and locks in a rope-assisted STF. Rusev yells as Chioda asks him if he wants to quit.
  
• Eventually, Lana freaks out, grabs the mic, and says that Rusev quits.
