Overview
- The finish came after Rusev survived a Brogue Kick, then used the shillelagh to tighten the Accolade and draw the submission.
- The no-disqualification Donnybrook sprawled outside the ring with whiskey barrels, tables, kendo sticks and chair spots.
- Michael Cole noted on broadcast that it was only the second submission loss of Sheamus’ 16-year WWE career.
- Raw general manager Adam Pearce set the stipulation following weeks of arena brawls and an Aug. 4 double count-out.
