After the match, Lynch was trying to comfort Natalya, who attacked her and beat the crap out of her in the corner, before walking off crying. The idea was she was upset and was taking it out on Lynch.
Match was OK. Brooke looked really green here, which she obviously is. Lynch looked like a hell of a babyface here. Charlotte and Natalya were their usual selves.

He said there is no fear or hesitation and the briefcase was his. He said he was the king of the jungle. He said he had no comment on the WWE title match except Roman Reigns was going to have fun beating up Rollins. "Beating up Seth is fun - trust me, I know." He smirked and walked off.
