The Usos retained the unified doubles title between SmackDown and Raw by defeating a tag team consisting of Riddle and Shinsuke Nakamura, securing them during the SmackDown show, which took place at dawn Beirut time.
There is known to be no affection between the two teams and the bout started quickly with the wrestlers exchanging strong blows between themselves with Nakamura and Riddle having the upper hand. In the middle of the match, The Usos (a team consisting of Jimmy and Jay Usos) managed to pull Nakamura out of the ring and hit him in the leg with a powerful kick. This blow almost knocked the Japanese wrestler out of the fight, and the WWE members helped the limping Nakamura from the stage.
Thus, Riddle was left alone to defend himself in the ring, and the Oso brothers managed to control him for some time without much success. Riddle was able to hit the brothers’ passengers and attempted to hit Jay with a Super RKO before he was distracted by a Roman Reigns song, allowing Jimmy to enter the ring. Despite this, Riddle attacked Jay but was then severely beaten by Jimmy, who was already in the ring.
Later it became known that it was Sami Zane who ordered the broadcast of Raines’ song. Zayn has reportedly always promoted an alliance with The Bloodline (a team that includes Roman Reigns and the Usos), and last week the Usos named him an honorary member of the group.
The brothers continued to hit Riddle, but the latter fought back with all his might and didn’t give up, but ended up losing the match due to the weight of consecutive punches, as Jimmy pinned him and the two brothers won the match and retained the title.
After the match was over and as Jimmy, Jay and Zane were celebrating their victory they were heading backstage, Riddle ran towards them and the fight started and didn’t stop until several referees stepped in to separate them.
For the remainder of the show, Sheamus, Ridge Holland and Butch defeated Drew McIntyre and the New Day Team, pinning them down. Jinder Mahal defeated Humberto with a pinch.
In the Six-Pack Challenge match, Natalya defeated Shuqi, Raquel Rodriguez, Aliya, Shayna Baszler and Gia Li.
