As for the US title picture, Jinder Mahal continued to stir up trouble over the recent ‘Top 10 List’, leading to Roode hitting Orton with a Glorious DDT.

The Tag Team title picture is less certain, however, with The New Day’s #1 contender victory over Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable likely to be disputed on next week’s episode due to interference in this week's match from Kofi Kingston.
