Cody Rhodes defended his WWE title against his former tag team partner from Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany in a Three Stages of Hell match. Drew McIntyre picked up the first fall in a regular match after low-blowing the defending champion. Cody came back with a fall of his own in the following Falls Count Anywhere stage, after putting McIntyre through the announce desk.

The third fall, which was contested inside a Steel Cage, saw both stars kicking out of each other's finishers to keep people guessing till the end. Jacob Fatu, who was mysteriously attacked backstage during a SmackDown episode in October, made his surprise return during the ending sequence of the match.

Fatu first attacked McIntyre, who he was supposed to face in a #1 contenders match before being taken out. He then went after Rhodes, however, allowing Drew the opening he needed to slip out of the cage and become the new champion.
