On the other side of the bracket, LA Knight will now face whoever takes Sheamus' place. Jey Uso and Rusev will have a match to determine who will face the winner of the match between Knight and his mystery opponent.
Whoever comes out victorious will face Cena at the December edition of Saturday Night's Main Event on Dec. 13. This will be the last time Cena competes in a match in his illustrious career. One of these Superstars will have the honor of retiring Cena.
