The Usos hit Erik and Mansoor with superkicks as the match began before joining the commentary team. Mansoor and Humberto were in the ring early on and the former got an early atomic drop before Shanky and Erik came in.
Mahal was tagged in as the match continued and took control before Ivar came in and cleared the apron. Mahal and Cesaro tried for a superplex on the Viking Raiders member before Erik broke it up with a Tower of Doom.

Naomi and Sonya Deville had a run-in backstage on SmackDown and the former asked Deville why she hated her. The WWE Official said that she couldn't just waltz in backstage with her 'main character vibes' when she was just an extra.
