AJ and Bryan went for a sequence of submission holds on SmackDown as the match began. Bryan hit a huge DDT and was heading up to the top rope when Sami Zayn made his entrance. Styles used the distraction to take Bryan down to the floor outside before we headed for another break.

Back on SmackDown, AJ was in control and Bryan managed to hit a huge clothesline followed by the kick in the corner. AJ locked in a calf crusher and Daniel managed to find the ropes with his foot.

Sami Zayn ruins yet one more match

Bryan countered the Phenomenal Forearm before locking in the Yes Lock but AJ broke it up. Big E was out next and wiped out Sami Zayn at ringside, sending him over the announce table before getting into a fight with Cesaro.

Zayn attacked Bryan in the ring, calling off the match before Cesaro wiped out Big E and Nakamura came in to take out AJ and then attack Sami before we headed for yet another break.

Result: DNF

Things could stay peaceful at ringside for only so long... 💥 #SmackDown @SamiZayn @WWECesaro @WWEBigE @AJStylesOrg @WWEDanielBryan pic.twitter.com/nT0XoFjLcM
