– SmackDown Tag Team Champions American Alpha defeated The Usos, The Ascension, Breezango, The Vaudevillains, and Heath Slater & Rhyno in a tag turmoil match to retain their titles

Order of elimination:

  • Breezango defeated Heath Slater & Rhyno after Fandango rolled up Rhyno after Breeze was hit with the Gore.
  • Alpha eliminated Breezango with a Steiner Brothers bulldog from the top.
  • Alpha eliminated The Vaudevillians when Jordan hit an Angle slam on Aiden English. 
  • Alpha eliminated The Ascension when Gable pinned Victor after a rollover German suplex. 
  • Alpha eliminated The Usos via Grand Amplitude. Usos got the biggest reaction of all the tag teams. At one point there were dueling “Let’s go Usos/Alphas” chants. Great false finishes in the last match.

– SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss defeated Becky Lynch to retain her title by using a handful of tights to get the pin.

Lynch got a good face reaction.

– James Ellsworth defeated Curt Hawkins with a superkick in 11 seconds.

The crowd enjoyed the comedy aspect after two title matches. 

– Baron Corbin defeated Kalisto after hitting the End of Days.

Kalisto is extremely over with the kids. Corbin was hated. Their basic match they do on every loop but it was fun.

– Dolph Ziggler defeated Intercontinental Champion The Miz in a wonderful 24-minute steel cage non-title match after Maryse accidentally slammed the cage door on her husband’s face and Ziggler nailed the IC champ with a superkick.

Both men put in work and it showed. The crowd hated Miz. Very entertaining in an old-school type way. 

– Nikki Bella defeated Natalya

Bella won after Carmella interfered. Bella threw Natalya into Carmella and then hit a TKO for the win.

– The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton & Luke Harper) defeated Apollo Crews, Jack Swagger & Mojo Rawley.

The crowd chanted “We want Randy” when he was on the apron and “RKO” when he was in the match. Completely overshadowed the rest of the guys.

– WWE Champion AJ Styles defeated Dean Ambrose and John Cena in a triple threat match to retain his title in 19 minutes.

Styles brought a chair in the ring and nailed Cena. Ambrose kicked him and went for Dirty Deeds on the chair but Styles hit him low and pinned him with a small package. After the match, Cena gave him the Attitude Adjustment to send the fans home happy.
