SmackDown begins live from the Mohegan Sun Arena with RK-Bro making their way out to the ring. Orton says that he and Riddle are sick and tired of chasing the Usos around and that it’s very obvious that Roman Reigns is the only person from the Bloodline who makes any decisions. Orton says RK-Bro demand their chance to become the undisputed tag team champions and Orton calls out Reigns to come out to the ring.

Instead of Reigns, Sami Zayn makes his way out while wearing a Bloodline shirt. Zayn says that he will address Orton on behalf of Reigns and everyone, that nobody wants to see a tag team title unification match. Zayn says that Orton and Riddle do not want the match because they would lose the match. Zayn tells RK-Bro to take their titles and stay on Raw. Orton makes the challenge to Zayn for Riddle to wrestle Zayn for RK-Bro to earn their title match. Zayn accepts the challenge but says that it’s a complicated process that he needs to talk to people backstage. While Zayn walks to the back, Adam Pearce comes out to make the match official and to schedule it for right now.
