Kalisto vs. Cesaro was the next match lineup on SmackDown where Kalisto took control by hitting a DDT and wanted to go for the Salida Del Sol. Nakamura got on the apron to distract when Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik ran down. The chaos allowed Cesaro to roll up Kalisto for the win.
Incredible.

Heavy Machinery and Big E vs. The Miz, John Morrison, and Sheamus, was the next tag team match on SmackDown where E hit a Uranage on Miz only to digest kicks from Morrison. Otis slammed Morrison and hit the Caterpillar. Miz came from the back and hit the Skull Crushing Finale. But E caught him with the Big Ending for the win.

Adam Pearce found Roman Reigns for the contract signing and approached. But Reigns didn’t sign the contract as he wanted to make some changes. But he promised to be in tomorrow’s Universal Title Match. The camera then cut to show Paul Heyman sitting by his side who apparently has become Reigns’ new manager, to send SmackDown off the air.
