Match

Before the match could start, The Miz and Morrison came out. The New Day took the early advantage over Steve Cutler, but the Forgotten Sons took back over isolating Kofi Kingston. Big E came in and hit a pair of overhead belly to belly suplexes and a third belly to belly. As Smackdown went to commercial, Big E hit a big splash on the apron.

Back from the break, the Forgotten Sons regained control and focused their offense on Big E. The match swung back in favor of the New Day when Big E slipped out of the corner and hit Steve Cutler with a Ura Nage. After Kofi got the tag, he hit the boom drop. The match flipped back and forth, but the Forgotten Sons hit a tandem elbow drop and backstabber.

Jaxson Ryker tossed Big E into the post and then the Forgotten Sons hit another combo move for the pinfall victory.
