AJ Styles & Daniel Bryan vs. The Usos

The Usos started off getting the better of Daniel Bryan before he tagged AJ Styles in. Their teamwork was proving superior thus far as they took it to the champion. AJ Styles countered Jey Uso into a calf crusher while Daniel Bryan locked Jimmy in a Yes! lock. Jey reached the ropes as SmackDown continued.

Back in the ring, Bryan moved like a one-man wrecking crew, taking out The Usos. Jimmy Uso saved Jey from getting pinned. Bryan went for an elbow to Jey but he ducked and it connected to the WWE Champion AJ Styles. Bryan missed Jey's tag to Jimmy and a double superkick put him away.
