Meanwhile, Striker asked Korpela for his prediction in the Punk vs HHH match with Korpela choosing "The Game."

However, Bryan was able to jump up and connect on a DDT. He held a vice grip on Slater's neck to put the Guillotine on him, making Slater tap out. Superstars closed out with Bryan raising his arm up as the crowd cheered.

Winner: Daniel Bryan wins due to submission by Heath Slater.
