The Street Profits took on Carmelo Hayes and The Miz in a WWE Tag Team Title No. 1 Contender’s Match. 

As The Miz was about to hit the Skull-Crushing Finale on Montez Ford, Hayes tagged himself in, unbeknownst to Ford. 

Ford executed a scintillating Frog Splash on Miz, but Hayes hit Nothing But Net on Ford moments later for a long two-count.

Just before The Miz was about to tag in for Hayes, The Wyatt Sicks showed up, distracting Miz long enough so The Street Profits could pick up the victory with the Revelation from Angelo Dawkins to Hayes.

Solo Sikoa put his United States Title on the line against Sami Zayn in a battle of former Bloodline members. 

Zayn had to have eyes in the back of his head as The MFTs interfered on multiple occasions. 

Sikoa hit a huge Spinning Solo after his teammates attacked Zayn, but Zayn kicked out. 

Eventually, Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu made their way to the ring to help Zayn and fight The MFTs to the backstage area. 

Zayn used the fracas to hit a massive Blue Thunder Bomb, but Sikoa kicked out just in the nick of time. 

Sikoa battered Zayn with multiple Uranage Slams onto the announce table, but Zayn just barely made it back into the ring before the count of 10. 

After two Helluva Kicks, Zayn pinned Sikoa to become the United States Champion for the first time in his career.
