- Daniel Bryan and Otis defeated Cesaro and Shinsuke Nakamura. Earlier in the night, Bryan was shown training for the Royal Rumble appearance. Apparently, just like we learnt in Happy Gilmore, it's all in the hips.

- Kevin Owens defeated Jey Uso in the main event of SmackDown. The match was made earlier in the night after KO badgered Adam Pearce to make it happen. Following his victory, Owens handcuffed Uso to the ropes and beat him up while talking trash to Roman Reigns. The fight would eventually spill into the ThunderDome.

- SmackDown went off the air with Kevin Owens being sent flying off of the ThunderDome set and through a table. Owens asked for Reigns and he got him. Be careful what you wish for.
