![]() Bálor with a snap suplex and pin cover, but Riddle gets the arm up right at two. Bálor takes Riddle to the ground and initiates a chain of working holds, relying heavily on a bulldog chin lock early on and targeted elbow strikes to soften Riddle up. Bálor begins to target Riddle's knee, focusing multiple ground attacks on it. Riddle pursues Bálor into the corner and Finn makes him pay for it, cutting his left knee out from under him. ![]() Riddle quickly turns to gut-wrench suplex to rock Bálor and attempts a cover early. ![]() We return from the break and find this match under way we're told it was made official during the match. "Bro, we do go back, dude! But right now my focus is on Seth, so the answer is 'no, bro.'" Bálor tells Riddle that he knows "the laws are a lot more relaxed in Portland so maybe you're brain's a little cloudy," and the crowd pop at the weed reference, "so let me be clear: you either stand with us or you stand in our way." Riddle looks around then dropkicks Bálor! Riddle clotheslines Priest over the ropes and the crowd pops as the Original Bro is in control of the ring as we head to break! Singles Match: Matt Riddle vs Finn Bálor w/ Damian Priest Priest again implores Riddle personally to "rise with the Judgment Day or fall against us." Riddle gets on the mic. He and Bálor claim Riddle has had the same problem as them, and Bálor points out that they're problem solvers. Priest speaks first, reminding Riddle that Priest, Rhea and Riddle go way back to NXT. ![]() As they near the ring, Bálor tells Riddle to relax as they don't want a fight. Riddle starts to pursue when he's interrupted by the Judgment Day! Finn Bálor and Damian Priest come down the ramp, mic in hand, with Priest paying tribute to Scott Hall briefly in his entrance motion. Rollins climbs back over the barricade and up the ramp. Riddle pursues and the two brawl briefly until Rollins takes a sucker shot at Riddle. Rollins slams a pursuing Riddle into the commentary table and then enters the audience. Rollins and Riddle unload in each other, with Riddle beating Rollins to the outside. And now-" He's interrupted as Matt Riddle makes his way out with a mic in hand! Riddle doesn't use it, however, as he drops it and hits the ring. "What I am interested in is the fact that it's been far too long since I have held championship gold. "I told you, I'm not interested in a rematch with Riddle, so zip it," he snaps at the crowd and gets plenty of boos. "So you may be asking yourselves, 'what's next for Seth Freakin' Rollins?' And while I pondered that exact question over the past week," he pauses as the crowd chants for a rematch and raises a hand. He addresses the fact that Riddle's recently requested a rematch, stating the problem is that he (Rollins) isn't really interested in a rematch. "You are too kind! But I have a question for you guys," he starts, "do you believe in karma? You know, good things good people, bad things bad people.I've gotta admit guys, I was a little skeptical, but nine days ago at Clash at the Castle the universe was in perfect harmony because I beat Matt Riddle, hahaha, I stomped his head into this here mat not once, but twice, and I had sixty-thousand plus fans singing my song!" He soaks it in as the Portland crowd gives us a demonstration of what he meant. Portland loves Rollins and pops for him with all of his catchphrases, helping out when they can, and routinely interrupting him by singing the "whoa-oh" portion of his theme. The crowd sings the Freakin' one out and even after the music stops, he still "conducts" the crowd.
