There is a chair, a kendo stick, a trash can, and a table visible around the top of the cage …. The Mercer and Lowerance explain that Reigns challenged Raven to a cage match, and Raven confronted Reigns at MLW Superfight and accepted the stipulation, but said it was going to be on his own terms ….

Reigns charges but Raven dropkicks him in the knee sending him crashing into the turnbuckles! Raven with the Bulldog out of the corner! Raven climbs up the cage and unhooks the trash can hanging from the top and he dumps it out revealing it to be full of weapons like cookie sheets, handcuffs, a leather strap, and a black bag …. Raven turns back to Reigns but gets cut off with a flying clothesline!

Reigns looks at the weapons and picks up the strap …. He rips off Ravens t shirt, then starts to whip him with the strap! Reigns wraps the strap around Ravens neck and chokes him, but Raven gets his hand on the trash can and swings it over his head, smashing Reigns in the face with it! Raven gets a chair now and unfolds it in the middle of the ring, hitting his trademark drop toehold into the chair! Raven slams Reigns’ head into the cage over and over and tosses him to the apron between the ring and the cage …. Raven hits a basement dropkick to the head of Reigns driving his head into the cage! The cameras zoom in on Reigns’ face and we see he has been busted open ….

Raven then goes to remove the turnbuckle padding but Reigns blocks him from slamming his head into the exposed steel and hits a Samoan Drop instead …. Reigns wipes the blood from his face, and the sight of his own blood seems to fire him up! Reigns gets a full mount on Raven and then rains down some hammer fists and forearms, then he turns the tables and slams Raven head first into the exposed buckle! Reigns grabs Raven and does it a 2nd time!!!! Now we see that Raven is bleeding! Reigns goes to do it a 3rd time but Raven turns and just kicks Reigns right between the legs!!!!

Raven unhooks a kendo stick from the top of the cage and canes Reigns across the back!!!! Reigns has huge welts all over his back and he’s bleeding in a couple of places! Raven taunts Reigns, but Roman kicks Raven right in the face! He fires up, pulling with all his might on the cage, and he manages to tear the actual chain link loose and free himself from the zip ties! Reigns turns to Raven and loads up for the Right Hand of God Mode but Raven catches him and hits a swinging neckbreaker!

Raven then looks and sees the black bag laying there …. He grabs the bag and starts to pour out the contents in the ring …. It’s full of thumb tacks!!!! Raven grabs Reigns and is going to give him the Evenflow on the tacks, BUT REIGNS COUNTERS AND HITS THE DARK URINAGE INTO THE TACKS!!!! Raven looks like a human pin cushion!!!! Reigns loads up …. Right Hand of God Mode!

Reigns roars in the corner …. SPEAR! 1 … 2 … Noooooo! Raven kicks out! Reigns collapses in exhaustion, and both guys are down! Now here comes the rest of the Conspiracy out of the back! Kanyon & Moxley start to climb the cage to get into the ring but the crowd erupts as out come the USOs to stop them! They pull Kanyon & Moxley down off the cage and brawl with them …. Double superkick to Kanyon, but Moxley grabs Jey and runs him into the cage …. Death Rider on Jimmy on the floor! Moxley starts climbing the cage, and he unhooks the chair hanging from the top of the cage …. But here is Solo Sikoa! Solo climbs up and pulls Moxley down, but not before Moxley tosses the chair into the cage …. Reigns bends over to pick up the chair, but Raven catches him! EVENFLOW ON THE CHAIR!!!!

1 … 2 … Nooooooo! Moxley fights off Solo and starts to climb again, but Solo is back up too and the two men fight as they hang onto the side of the cage ….SAMOAN SPIKE TO MOXLEY AND HE FALLS TO THE FLOOR!
