Otis vs. Angelo Dawkins on SmackDown

Otis got the early advantage after Chad ran a distraction from the apron. Otis hit a belly-to-belly suplex, tossing Dawkins across the ring.

The Alpha Academy member hit a splash from the ropes before setting up in the corner for a Vader Bomb before getting the quick win.

Jimmy Uso was out next on SmackDown and called out Edge, telling him it was not a trap. The Rated-R Superstar came out and called Uso 'Roman's b*tch' before heading to the ring and starting a brawl.

Edge sent Uso into the ring posts before getting the steel steps but Uso hit a superkick. Edge got a kick in before making Uso tap with a submission hold and then hit a spear.

Edge broke off a piece of a steel chair and locked in a facelock with it, just like he did on WrestleMania before SmackDown went off the air.

We got an amazing last man standing match while Edge took his feud with Roman and co. on SmackDown to a new level. Zelina Vega returned to WWE while Bayley and Bianca set up an I Quit match for Money in the Bank.
