#2 The chaotic main-event on WWE SmackDown

The interbrand match saw RAW's AJ Styles compete against Daniel Bryan in the final contest of WWE SmackDown. Styles asked Omos to stay in the back for this match as he came out to prove Bryan wrong.

Cesaro joined the SmackDown commentary team and spoke about how he was better than both the men in the ring. Bryan and Styles had a good contest early on before Sami Zayn came out to protest and interrupt the match.

The Phenomenal One took control of the contest from there on and managed to trap Bryan in the Calf Crusher. Daniel Bryan managed to counter and then take down AJ Styles following which he trapped his opponent in the Yes Lock.

Big E soon arrived to attack Zayn outside the ring, and a huge brawl broke out with Shinsuke Nakamura also getting involved. Nakamura and Cesaro almost came to blows before a six-man tag team match took place on SmackDown.

Cesaro teamed up with Zayn and Styles to form a heel team against Nakamura, Bryan, and Big E. After the contest got going, The Miz and John Morrison arrived to attack Nakamura and Big E. Otis walked out to help the babyfaces even the odds.

This led to another disqualification and Miz and Morrison were added to the heel team while Otis joined the faces in a five-on-four handicap match. Sheamus was the next Superstar to come out to make it a five-on-five contest.

Sheamus finally hit Zayn with the Brogue Kick to pick up the victory for his team after a loaded match. The match was fun, to say the least, even though it was chaotic. SmackDown ended their side of things on a high and several top WWE Superstars got a chance to shine ahead of the Royal Rumble.
