What's the story?
After tonight's SmackDown Live went off the air, Elias interfered in the dark match that pitted Roman Reigns against Randy Orton.
Finn Balor came out and helped Reigns fend off the villains.
In case you didn't know...
Last week, Elias was revealed as being "the biggest acquisition in SmackDown Live history". Roman Reigns came out at the end of the show to deliver back to back Superman Punches on Mr. McMahon and Elias.
Tonight's SmackDown Live saw Elias and Shane McMahon double-teaming on Roman Reigns and leaving him laying in the ring. Soon after the beatdown, Elias challenged The Big Dog to a match at the upcoming PPV, Money In The Bank. Reigns, still seething with pain after the dastardly attack, agreed to the match.
Furthermore, Reigns took to Twitter to send a scathing warning to Elias.

The heart of the matter
After the blue show went off air, Roman Reigns wrestled Randy Orton in a dark match. It's worth noting here that the two Superstars went toe to toe after last week's SmackDown Live too, but the match ended in bizarre fashion with no clear winner being decided.
Tonight wasn't any different, as Reigns' opponent at Money In The Bank, Elias, interfered in his match against Orton. The villainous duo proceeded with a beatdodwn on The Big Dog, until the WWE Intercontinental Champion Finn Balor came out to make the save.
Finn and Roman managed to clear the ring to end the show.
What's next?
Roman Reigns is all set to face off against Elias at Money In The Bank.
