The main event of this week's WWE SmackDown saw Heavy Machinery and Braun Strowman taking on Dolph Ziggler, The Miz & John Morrison.

King Corbin approached Mandy Rose backstage and tried to woo her from Otis based on what happened last week.

Otis left the match mid-way to rescue his "peach" and succeeded in doing so as well.

He even returned to ensure that the babyfaces would pick up the victory two nights before WWE Backlash.
