The Ascension vs. The Hype Bros
The winner of the match will be representing SmackDown in the team’s 5 vs 5 traditional Elimination Match at Survivor Series next month.
Before the match, a video airs in which The Ascension claim that there is no bigger or badder team in the entire SmackDown roster and insist that they will rise at Survivor Series. A video of The Hype Bros follows who promise to win their match against The Ascension.
It is Ryder and Konnor who kick things off in the middle and it is Konnor who lands a clothesline to knock Ryder out of the ring. He then brings back Ryder inside the ring and lands an European uppercut before tagging in his partner, who begins to work on Ryder before tagging Konnor back into the game.
However, Ryder fights back with a jawbreaker and both men make tags. Rowley enters the ring and takes out Viktor before nailing a corner splash for the pin but it is broken up by Konnon, who is then taken out by Ryder. The Hype Bros then hit the Hype Ryder on Viktor before Rowley rolls him for the 3-count.
Result: The Hype Bros defeat The Ascension via pinfall
