Cesaro attacked Uso and flipped him right as the bell rang, before hitting a backbreaker. Uso set Cesaro up in the corner and kicked him onto the post before kicking him off the apron.

Cesaro lifted Uso again with his injured arm and dropped him before hitting a crossbody for a near fall. Jey took an uppercut on the top rope before Cesaro hit the Gutwrench Suplex from up top.

Cesaro went for the Swing before Seth Rollins attacked him. The match was called due to the DQ and Rollins walked off, yelling that he wasn't done with Cesaro.

Result: DNF

Episode grade: B-

A rather slow SmackDown to wind down after WrestleMania and head into the new season of WWE television. Cesaro attempt to start a new feud with Roman was interrupted and Bayley showed interest in pursuing the SmackDown Women's title. The Street Profits failed to secure tag team gold tonight on SmackDown.
