– SmackDown Tag Team Champions The New Day (Big E & Xavier Woods) defeated Cesaro & Sheamus and SAnitY (Eric Young & Alexander Wolfe) in a triple threat match to retain their titles
SAnitY and The Bar had an alliance in the beginning of the match, but they argued for the rest. New Day never tagged out and won by hitting Midnight Hour on Young.
– Shelton Benjamin defeated Tye Dillinger
Both came out as faces before Dillinger ended up as the heel. Benjamin was billed from Houston.

– United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura defeated R-Truth to retain his title
Truth had a lot of offense, but Nakamura won clean with the Kinshasa.
– Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz
Miz imitated Rick Rude and originally refused to fight. He set up for a running knee, but Bryan countered and hit the move to win.
– Rusev & Lana defeated Andrade “Cien” Almas & Zelina Vega
Vega came out before the match and mocked the crowd. Lana and Vega were probably in for 75 percent of the match. Aiden English came down near the end, with Rusev and Lana getting the victory with a double Accolade.
– SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair defeated Carmella and Becky Lynch in a triple threat match to retain her title
Immediately as the match started, Lynch went after Charlotte and Carmella watched on. There was a comedy spot where Carmella tried to pin Lynch and Charlotte about five times each and tried after every attempt.
Charlotte retained by submitting Carmella with the Figure Eight.
– WWE Champion AJ Styles defeated Samoa Joe to retain his title
As Styles was being announced in the ring, Joe blindsided him and the match didn’t start for another three minutes. Very methodical, physical match. At one point, Styles sold a battering ram like a Clothesline From Hell and almost landed on his neck. He then went on to sell a clothesline in the same way.
The crowd was on their feet for at least the last five minutes. Styles retained with the Phenomenal Forearm and closed the night by promoting Hell in a Cell.
