Drake Maverick/Kushida/Jake Atlas for the final spot on the cruiserweight tournament. I am so glad they let this match go, it was all I expected and more. Drake was with it enough to pin, Jake with Kushida not seeing anything. Drake will face El Hijo del Fantasma in the final.

Fight Pit match with Matt Riddle facing Timothy Thatcher. Kurt Angle is the ref. I read later on that this was matt’s exit match from NXT as he will be arriving on Smackdown soon. (they moved the tag titles off Pete/Matt as the first step)
**Smackdown**
(storyline SPOILER)The opening of Smackdown was a set up with Elias/Jeff Hardy by Sheamus because Sheamus is ticked off that Jeff is getting another chance. Sheamus said that he is just waiting for Jeff to screw up again, so he can tell Jeff “I told you so”. Jeff somehow pulled out a win against Sheamus last week to advance to the finals of the Intercontinental Belt. (it was stripped off Samy Zayne due to inactivity)

A Moment of Bliss with Alexa/Nikki hosting The New Day. Alexa/Sasha in an impromptu match, Nikki/Bayley at the announcers table. Once again, Bayley gets involved in Sasha’s match. (Question – how long before they split up Bayley/Sasha. They had some great matches when they were in NXT, I would love to see some of those again. It’s overdue)
Cesaro with Shinsuke facing Shorty G. (you know Shinsuke will get involved) I have no clue how he did it but Shorty got the win. It was brilliant.
