Besides the announcements, McIntyre and Priest also brawled that ended with McIntyre hitting Priest with the steel steps and followed it with a Future Shock DDT onto it.

Following his brawl and segment, McIntyre announced on Instagram that he had suffered a head wound injury that required staples to close.
