Tonight’s main event saw The Usos put their WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships on the line against The Street Profits. Both teams were nothing short of brilliant in their championship clash on the show this week. All four superstars were booked well, allowing them ample time to put their biggest strengths on display.
The Usos and The Street Profits were equally dominant throughout the match, accounting for a well-balanced title bout. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins posed a credible threat to the champions and came close to regaining the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Titles. However, their plans were derailed after Roman Reigns interfered in the match and forced it to end via disqualification.

There wasn’t much time for The Bloodline to celebrate their narrow escape as The Demon made his first-ever appearance on WWE SmackDown. Last week, Finn Balor challenged Reigns for the Universal Championship but lost after a series of unfair tactics allowed The Tribal Chief to retain his title.
His alter-ego’s much-anticipated return was teased on the show, and tonight, The Demon walked out to a thunderous pop on WWE SmackDown. He will now challenge Roman Reigns for the title at Extreme Rules, while The Street Profits are expected to get another shot at the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships at the upcoming pay-per-view. The Demon successfully scared off Paul Heyman and The Usos but can he do the same to Roman Reigns?
