Nikki Bella defeated A.J. Lee via pinfall to become new Divas Champion. Brie helped by kissing AJ before the match really got underway, distracting AJ and allowing Nikki to gain the upperhand.

Team Cena defeated Team Authority with Dolph Ziggler the sole survivor. Big Show eliminated Mark Henry via pinfall. Rusev eliminated Ryback via pinfall. Big Show turned against Cena and punched him down to help Team Authority get an easy pinfall, eliminating Cena. Show walked out, leading to a countout to eliminate him. That left Ziggler vs. Harper, Rollins & Kane. Ziggler pinned Kane. Ziggler pinned Harper. It came down to Ziggler vs. Rollins in a back and forth battle. Ziggler seemed to defy the odds, but interference came from the Authority with Mercury and Noble. Eventually Ziggler got rid of them, but HHH got involved and decimated Ziggler, then put Rollins on top of him. However, before a new ref could count the winning pinfall, Sting's music hit and Sting showed up. He came to the ring for a staredown with HHH and then ducked a punch before DDT-ing HHH down and moving Ziggler onto Rollins for the pin. Ziggler was the sole survivor to give Team Cena the big win.

With the win by Team Cena, that means Triple H and Stephanie McMahon of The Authority are removed from power. It should be interesting to see when Sting decides to show up again. Will he become the new man in charge for WWE?
