Next up, Matt Hardy returned to live event action to take on former Cruiserweight Champion Buddy Murphy. The Woken One got loud pops from the Reno fans as he went on to overcome the challenge posed by the former 205 Live Superstar.

Result: Matt Hardy def. Buddy Murphy


#4. Daniel Bryan & Erick Rowan (C) vs. Chad Gable & Apollo Crews (WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship Match)

On a night that opened with an incredible Triple Threat match for the IC title, the tag team division of the blue brand managed to steal the show. Can you believe that?

Bryan, Rowan, Gable and Crews put on a barnburner of a match that was described by a fan who attended the show as a potential 'Match of the Year' candidate. Yes, it was that darn good!

The Superstars were given the creative licence to express themselves which made the match a true spectacle. We're sure the WWE officials backstage were watching and could book it for a future episode of SmackDown Live. We sincerely hope they do. We also hope that the neglected duo of Gable and Crews get a fair share of the spotlight going forward.

Result: Daniel Bryan & Erick Rowan def. Chad Gable & Apollo Crews to retain the SmackDown Tag Team titles
