#8 The Bludgeon Brothers(c) defeat Team Hell No SmackDown Tag Team Championships
This match was probably the most disappointing of all the matches on the card. The reunion of Team Hell No was a great nostalgia moment and was properly capitalized in the buildup. But, the match never really delivered.
The Bludgeon Brothers assaulted Team Hell No before the match in a backstage segment and damaged Kane's foot. This was, of course, a way to avoid getting Kane in the ring but, it was effective. When the time for their match came, Daniel Bryan marched to the ring without the company of his partner. Throughout the match, the Tag champs dominated Bryan in a 2-on-1 handicap situation and assaulted his already affected ribs.

Suddenly, Kane's music played and the Big Red Machine finally came to the ring to assist his partner. But, his leg failed him and Bryan was soon pinned by The Bludgeon Brothers to retain their Tag Team gold.
The match never really took off and the pace was off throughout the match. Like much of Bryan's return run, this match left a sour taste in the mouth. I know that the Bludgeons won to make their eventual loss that much convincing, but sacrificing Bryan to do so was a bad booking decision.
Grade: C-
