We get a quick interview from Lana backstage, and she says she will win the Women’s Championship tonight from Naomi.
The New Day come out for their big title match. Xavier says The Uso’s have announced SmackDown as the Uso Penitentiary, but tonight The New Day will make it a playpen. They say they will keep the playpen clean and fun, so you will never have to worry about dropping the soap. They say they will be the next SmackDown Live Tag Team Champion’s.

Winners: The New Day
They won the match but The New Day are not the SmackDown Live tag champs! A great match though and I’m excited for the rematch.
Daniel Bryan returns this Tuesday night and will address the ending of the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
