WWE SmackDown live results: Hell in a Cell build continues

The build to Hell in a Cell continues on tonight’s SmackDown. 

Last week, SmackDown Tag Team Champions Rey & Dominik Mysterio defended against The Usos twice in one night. Dominik Mysterio pinned Jimmy Uso in the first match, although the referee didn’t notice that Jimmy got one shoulder up. 

Universal Champion Roman Reigns belittled his cousins for losing to a kid. Later, Dominik set up for the frog splash on Jimmy in the rematch, but Reigns ran in for the disqualification.
