– Jimmy Uso defeated Dominik Mysterio thanks to a helping hand from his brother Jey, who provided some extra leverage on the winning pin attempt.
– Roman Reigns came out to close the show and berated Cena. He thought Hollywood would have made him over, but instead, we’re seeing the same guy from 2005. He then proceeded to decline Cena’s SummerSlam challenge. Finn Balor’s music hit immediately afterwards. He came to the ring and told Reigns, “If you’re not interested in John Cena’s challenge, maybe you’ll be interested in mine.”
After consulting with Paul Heyman, SmackDown ended with Roman accepting Balor’s challenge.
