SmackDown: AJ Styles, Dean Ambrose, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, and Shane McMahon.

It turned out to be an all-time great, with the two teams battling it out for nearly a full hour. In the end, it boiled down to Wyatt and Orton (who were paired together in a storyline at the time) against Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.

While Rollins was eliminated via a fantastic RKO, Roman Reigns was the last one left, leading many to fear another moment where he "overcame the odds".

Realizing this, fans in Toronto instantly chanted "Let's go SmackDown!". In a fantastic finishing sequence, Orton would eat a spear from Reigns, allowing Wyatt to hit Sister Abigail on his old rival and win the match for Team SmackDown. It was an incredibly well-done way to help get Bray Wyatt over and he has Roman Reigns to thank for that night.
