#1 The Usos (c) vs The New Day for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships
Trending
The show opened with a tag team match between The Usos and The New Day for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships. The Carolina crowd welcomed The New Day with a chorus of cheers. But, The Usos — who're technically babyfaces at this point — stepped into the PNC Arena to a mixed reaction.
The performers from both teams put on a PPV-worthy match. The crowd had to keep up with the fast-paced action that was going on in the ring. At one point, it seemed that The New Day was going to take the titles away from The Usos, but in the end, The Samoan Twins regained their bearings and won the match after hitting their opponents with The Double Uce.
Results: The Usos def. The New Day to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championships
#2 The Hype Bros & Breezango vs The Ascension & The Colons
The Hype Bros — who're teetering on the edge of an impending break-up — teamed-up with everyone's favourite police-officers Breezango to take on the teams of The Ascension & The Colons.
This match not only featured nail-biting action but also provided with a healthy dose of laughter as the babyface teams kept the crowd laughing with their funny antics. In the end, the babyfaces prevailed over the heels.
Result: The Hype Bros & Breezango def. The Ascension & The Colons
#3 Bobby Roode vs Dolph Ziggler
"The Glorious" Bobby Roode took on "The Show-off" Dolph Ziggler in what was the third contest of the evening. The crowd sang-along with Roode's entrance theme during his entrance, and booed Ziggler, who made his way to the ring mocking the Carolina crowd.
This match was quite similar to the one they had a few weeks ago on the Hell in a Cell PPV.
In the end, Roode gloriously dominated Ziggler by pinning him after nailing him with the Glorious DDT.
Both superstars will face each other this week in a Two-out-of-Three Falls Match on SmackDown LIVE, to qualify for a position on the blue brand's Survivor Series team.
Result: Bobby Roode def. Dolph Ziggler
#4 Rusev vs Tye Dillinger
In the fourth bout of the evening, Rusev took on Tye Dillinger to gain bragging rights over each other. The Bulgarian Brute too powerful of a foe for Dillinger to defeat as Rusev "Machka'd" Dillinger by trapping him in the Accolade.
Result: Rusev def. Tye Dillinger via Submission
#5 Randy Orton & Shinsuke Nakamura vs Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn
The unusual alliance of Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura took on best friends Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a tag team match. The Viper & The Artist worked in-tandem and took down the heels with their unique offensive techniques.

#6 Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch vs Tamina, Lana & Ms Money in the Bank Carmella (w/ James Ellsworth)
Charlotte Flair geared up for tea-time with Becky Lynch as they took on the forces of Tamina, Lana & Carmella. Both women received a raucous ovation from the crowd. The heels were booed vociferously by the residents of the PNC Arena. James Ellsworth or James 'on-a-leash' Ellsworth stayed put in one corner of the ring.
In the end, the babyfaces defeated the heels without breaking a sweat.

#7 Baron Corbin (c) vs Sin Cara for the United States Championship
In the semi-main event of the evening, the reigning United States Champion Baron Corbin defended his title against 'The International Sensation' Sin Cara.

Result: Baron Corbin def. Sin Cara to retain the United States Championship
#8 WWE World Champion Jinder Mahal (w/ The Singh Brothers) vs AJ Styles
In the main event of the evening, Jinder Mahal took on AJ Styles in a non-title match. Mahal, who's slowly becoming a competent promo-guy, still looked quite weak actual wrestling-wise against AJ Styles, who's undoubtedly one of the best wrestlers on the planet.
The Singh Brothers tried to help Mahal win the match, but Styles proved too smart for them to beat as "The Phenomenal One" swiftly took down the brothers before knocking out Mahal with the Phenomenal Forearm for the win.
Results: AJ Styles def. Jinder Mahal
