WWE hyped the match up throughout this week’s show, showing detailed video packages on each tag team and giving time for each team to cut a promo on the match. In the match itself, The Usos controlled a lot of the match with relentless offense on Riddle. Eventually, Riddle was able to tag Randy Orton into the match and Orton cleaned the ring before connecting with the RKO on Jimmy Uso. Orton attempted a pin, but Jey illegally broke it up.
In the end, Roman Reigns interfered behind the referee’s back, allowing for The Usos to pick up the win. After the match, Reigns and The Usos destroyed both Orton and Riddle, leaving them both laying around the ringside area for medical attention.
WWE updated their status on Twitter after the show.
