A major brawl broke out on WWE SmackDown between the top stars of the mid-card. Big E, Cesaro, and King Nakamura teamed up to take on Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode, and Intercontinental Champion Apollo Crews in a six-man tag team match.

The Money in the Bank briefcase holder kicked off the match for his team against Apollo Crews. Apollo took him out of the ring early and the heels targeted him with some big moves.

Cesaro tagged in and went on a roll against Ziggler. He nearly picked up the victory before Ziggler kicked out just in time. The Swiss Superman kept the pressure on and took Ziggler for a Cesaro Swing before locking in the Sharpshooter.

Roode helped his partner get to the ropes and the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions took out Nakamura and Cesaro.

Late in the match, Rick Boogs started playing guitar to distract the heels. Cesaro took out Commander Azeez and Nakamura hit Crews with the Kinshasa for the pin.

Oddly, Big E is still involved in this rivalry after winning the Money in the Bank contract. SmackDown did the right thing by allowing Nakamura to pin Crews. He could get in line for a well-deserved Intercontinental Championship shot.
