Gargano attacks Ciampa, Black blasts them both, Johnny pulls out Ciampa to beat him down, but Black unloads on them both, the hatred between Ciampa & Gargano has left Black in the middle as the refs separate them and Regal comes out. He says since all 3 are hell-bent on destroying each other he's not going to control it, or prevent it, he's going to let it happen in Brooklyn in a 3 way for the Title as the show ends

At least that WAS the plan, but Aleister has suffered a groin injury and will need surgery so shortly after this week's show ended WWE released the following:

Regal was altered that Alesiter Black was found unconscious in the parking lot. They didn’t just show he was laid out, they established multiple suspects. Johnny Gargano is seen walking into the building as Regal is walking out, Undisputed ERA is seen quickly driving off away from the area, and even Heavy Machinery is seen sliding in to take photos of a Black while he’s down and being tended to
