SmackDown legend Teddy Long told Sami Zayn that he would be involved in a 10-man tag team match. It was confusing since it seemed like Teddy Long had to look to Sonya Deville to try and remember some names. We're not sure which bit was a part was improvisation, and which was a part of the script.

Either way, he set up the final match of the night on SmackDown - a 10-Man Tag Team match. Sami Zayn teamed up with Alpha Academy, King Corbin, and Apollo Crews to take on Kevin Owens, Big E, Shinsuke Nakamura, and The Street Profits.

The finish saw King Corbin hit The End of Days on Shinsuke Nakamura. This match was lackluster, and it seemed WWE just wanted to fill the show with superstars. There are better ways to do that.

There was no progression in the Intercontinental Championship picture featuring Apollo Crews, Big E, Kevin Owens, and Sami Zayn. What was the purpose of King Corbin pinning Shinsuke Nakamura? It achieved nothing and was a waste of a match.
