PORTLAND, Ore. —Just 10 days before The Biggest Party of the Summer, SmackDown featured a monumental tag team matchup, the ongoing Divas Revolution and the latest chapter in a highly personal family vs. family showdown.

Neville, and then Cesaro, emerged to try and “shut up” The Architect. But a sneak attack by Kevin Owens — and a follow-up assault by Rollins — derailed their efforts. It was later announced that the four competitors would square off in a huge SmackDown tag team main event.
