Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Drew McIntyre invited Roman Reigns for a match at Clash at the Castle, and The New Day’s unique gift brought a challenge from The Brawling Brutes
Brawling Brutes were defeated. The New Day, Drew McIntyre
Claiming that the Six-Man Tag Team’s defeat last week was unfair due to Drew McIntyre being a surprise opponent, The Brawling Brutes The New Day and McIntyre fought back in a heated rematch. In the final moments of the explosive competition, Sheamus and Ridge Holland neutralized The King of Claymore Country on the outside while Butch took advantage of a chaotic Bitter End finish on Xavier Woods for victory.
Jinder replaces fellow countryman. Humberto
Even after Jinder Mahal explicitly forbade his group from dancing while in ring row, Shanky couldn’t help but feel the rhythm and stop his moves. But this time, the dance worked for The Modern Day Maharaja as it was Shanky’s physical dance that distracted Humberto, enabling Mahal to take the win.
Natalya won the Six Pack Challenge to earn the right challenge SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey
Had it not been for some of the workers in the building, Alia would not have been able to participate in the star-studded Six Pack Challenge after Schutzi brutally locked her in the locker room before the match as a return for Alia doing the same to her last week.
With SmackDown Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey looking at ringside, Raquel Rodriguez put in an impressive display, easily outsmarting her opponents Shotzi, Aliyah, Natalya, Shayna Baszler and Xia Li. Natalya clinched, however, stealing the win after Rodriguez threw Tehana’s evil bombshell at Schutzi.
After Natalia stood tall, The Baddest Woman on the Planet faced her next challenger.
Madcap Moss made a fierce comeback and demanded a match with Happy Corbin
Happy Corbin Dave. Madcap Moss by disqualification
Madcap Moss is back at Friday Night SmackDown after being shelved by Happy Corbin’s despicable attack and wasting no time delivering revenge on his ex-boyfriend. Moss went straight to a steel chair, hit Corbin and disqualified himself. It required WWE officials to prevent Moss from further harming his opponent, forcing WWE official Adam Pierce to announce a forbidden match between the two for the sake of WWE Hell in a Cell.
Usos defeated. Riddle & Shinsuke Nakamura retain the undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship
Riddle and Shinsuke Nakamura came close to being able to call themselves the undisputed new WWE tag team champions, had it not been for their kidnappers by professional strategists. After King of Strong Style accidentally injured his leg on unforgiving steel steps and was taken out with a Uso 2-on-1 attack, it was left up to The Original Bro to go it alone.
Just as Riddle was sounding powerful, Roman Reigns’ music suddenly shot through the ring, distracting Riddle and allowing Usos to win and retain the undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. After the contest, it was revealed that Sami Zayn had tampered with the match by playing Reigns’ music from the production truck, which led to a fight between Riddle and the evil trio.
