“The New” Daniel Bryan & Rowan came in ultra-focused as they took on longtime rivals The New Day in the blue brand main event.
Bryan & Rowan looked to ground and pound the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, but Xavier Woods & Big E battled back, and Big E speared Bryan off the apron onto the floor. The New Day looked to be closing in on victory until Rowan connected with steel steps right into Xavier’s dome piece, causing an instant disqualification. The Planet’s Tag Team continued to put the boots to both New Day members before finally laying them out.
Roman Reigns, who vowed to get to the bottom of his recent near-catastrophes, suddenly appeared on the TitanTron in the backstage area, demanded some information from Buddy Murphy (Murphy was standing nearby when the forklift malfunctioned) and laid a wicked beating on the former Cruiserweight Champion to coerce him into giving him some information.
Murphy finally acquiesced and implicated Rowan. Was Rowan truly responsible? And if yes, why?
