After being drafted to WWE SmackDown, The New Day (Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston) teamed up with The Street Profis for a match against Alpha Academy, Robert Roode, and Dolph Ziggler. It was surprising to see WWE break up Big E, Kofi Kingston, and Xavier Woods once again with the draft.

The heels took control of the match early, and Otis unleashed his villainous side on his opponents. Montez Ford came into the ring, followed by Chad Gable, who kept the high-flyer grounded with some good moves.

The heels isolated Ford for some time before he created separation with an enzuigiri to Ziggler. He tagged in Angelo Dawkins, who went on a roll and wiped out everyone in the heel corner.

At the end of the match, The New Day hit their finisher on Roode to earn a victory.

SmackDown showcased its tag team division well during the contest. The Usos are the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions, but Woods and Kingston's arrival to the fold could certainly change things around quickly.
