12 men in the ring to start… and it quickly empties to the floor immediately. ATDU immediately gets ladders up and starts climbing, which puts a target on their back. A third ladder comes in from ND, and they push everyone on the other two ladders over. JD smashes everyone with the ladders.

Bate from NCR picks up Balor and the ladder he’s holding and airplanes spin him for a good 30 seconds. NCR double moonsaults off a ladder onto everyone else. Priest throws NCR into each other. AT comes in to combat JD. Truth does a comedy bit where he waits for the hot tag from Miz. Gets it, clears out JD with John Cena’s moves. Truth pins Balor, which doesn’t matter in a ladder match.

Springboard DDT by one half of ATDU, but a huge slam on the other half means everyone is down. In comes R Truth, and we expect comedy. He’s climbing, but outside interference by JD McDonough ends that. He helps Balor climb up, but gets caught by Woods. Kingston goes to town on them both with a chair.
