More shenanigans allowed the team of Elton Prince & Kit Wilson to defeat Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins in a matchup of two of SmackDown’s best tag teams.

The Enforcer of The Bloodline, Solo Sikoa, came through for Roman Reigns and The Island of Relevancy by defeating one of the toughest Superstars in WWE history, Sheamus. 

The leader of the Brawling Brutes demanded the match after Sikoa delivered a Samoan Spike to Ridge Holland earlier in the night, and he took his rage out on the Samoan monster to begin the match. 

The two Superstars battered each other and after a while their bodies began to break down, and Sheamus’ hesitation allowed Sikoa to deliver a Samoan Spike, a uranage onto the announcer’s table, and a hip attack through the barricade that forced the official to end the match.
