Match

This match is for the Smackdown Tag Team Championships. Big E had an advantage on the outside, but Jey Uso and The Miz got up and put Big E through the announce table. When Smackdown returned from commercial, Jey Uso hit suicide dives on both men and a cross body on Miz. Miz hit the skull crushing finale, but Jey kicked out. After the kick out, Miz immediately transitioned into the Figure Four.

Big E jumped in the ring, pulled Miz off, and hit the Big Ending on Miz for the pinfall victory. The New Day are the new Tag Team Champions.
