Smackdown opened with Triple H and Seth Rollins (still in his Shield gear, someone read Mike’s column!) coming out for a promo. Triple H says he proved once again that he always wins. Rollins says that everyone is asking him why he turned on The Shield, but only he – not even HHH – know why he did what he did and the only person he owes an explanation to is himself. Dolph Ziggler comes out and rips on Ziggler. Triple H says that since Ziggler is showing some initiative, he can face Rollins right now. Rollins acted like he didn’t see that coming.
*Seth Rollins pinned Dolph Ziggler. Good match.
Backstage, Big Show confronts Seth Rollins and Triple H backstage. He tells Rollins that he proved he’s just another sellout. HHH tells Show he will fight Randy Orton later.
*WWE Tag Team champions The Usos defeated Ryback and Curtis Axel. Good match.
*Rusev defeated Xavier Woods with the Accolade. They have a giant Russian flag that unfurls for Rusev when he comes down now. Woods came out dressed like Apollo Creed in Rocky IV with the Star Spangled outfit.
*WWE Intercontinental champion Bad News Barrett defeated Cesaro and Rob Van Dam when he pinned RVD.
*Natalya defeated Alicia Fox. Fox freaks out and crawled all over Lilian Garcia at ringside.
*Bray Wyatt cut a promo. Nothing specific. Usual stuff.
*Bo Dallas defeated Santino Marella, with Emma.
*Big Show defeated Randy Orton by DQ when Seth Rollins interfered as Show was about to chokeslam him. Triple H was at ringside. They beat down Show. The Shield hit the ring to clear it.
