With the help of his brother Jimmy, Jey Uso humiliated his cousin and Universal Champion Roman Reigns just two days before their Hell in a Cell “I Quit” Match. Plus, justice proved Awesome when Miz took part in Law & Otis and walked away with an opportunity at Mr. Money in the Bank’s contract this Sunday.
Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens & SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Street Profits defeated Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode, Cesaro & Shinsuke Nakamura.
In the aftermath of a chaotic “KO Show,” the most powerful tag team combinations on the post-Draft SmackDown landscape faced off in the hopes of establishing themselves at the top of the blue brand.
Fighting through a knee injury in the middle of the contest in heroic fashion, Daniel Bryan kept the match alive. And amidst all-out bedlam between the eight Superstars, Montez Ford launched himself off the top rope to hit his gravity-defying Frog Splash on Cesaro for the victory. (Via WWE.com)

Miz emerged victorious in Law & Otis trial; Otis must defend Money in a Bank contract against Miz at WWE Hell in a Cell.
With Judge JBL presiding, Bailiff Ron Simmons keeping order, and eventually Theodore “Teddy” Long as the court stenographer, Otis looked to defend his Money in the Bank contract in court against The Miz & Morrison. Although Miz took over the opening statement from his attorney, Otis stole it back with simple execution, and Miz fired his lawyer.
Then followed testimony from John Morrison, Rey Mysterio, Asuka - who testifying in Japanese - and Heavy Machinery’s Tucker. And just when it looked as if the honorable JBL might rule in Otis’ favor, a mysterious last-minute piece of “evidence” from Miz made him quickly change his mind with a huge smile on his face. JBL therefore made the stunning ruling in favor of The Miz and declared that Otis must face him for the Money in the Bank contract this Sunday at WWE Hell in a Cell! (Via WWE.com)

Lars Sullivan defeated Shorty G.
Since returning to SmackDown, Lars Sullivan has done nothing but viciously tear through any opponent who crosses his path. But harboring a growing resentment as a result of not being drafted by Raw or SmackDown, Shorty G decided to take on The Freak and prove that he can demolish a rival of any size. Despite his determination, Lars continued his unrelenting destruction by laying waste to his outmatched opponent before finishing him off with the Freak Accident. When Kayla Braxton approached Shorty G after the match to ask how he felt, the war-torn Superstar responded with a simple “I quit.”
When WWE Official Adam Pearce questioned him about this statement backstage, he clarified that he is quitting being Shorty G and is reinventing himself once again as Chad Gable. (Via WWE.com)

Sasha Banks unleashed chair assault to force SmackDown Women's Champion, Bayley to sign the contract.
After refusing to sign the contract for the Hell in a Cell Match one week ago, SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley made the mistake of mocking The Boss and claiming Sasha Banks doesn’t deserve the title.
A determined Banks emerged looking for a fight, and after the titleholder missed her attempt to hit her with the chair, Banks took charge. After trapping Bayley in the chair, she locked her in the Bank Statement and wouldn’t let go until Bayley finally signed. (Via WWE.com)

Seth Rollins defeated Murphy.
“The SmackDown Savior” Seth Rollins went to war against his former disciple Murphy in a personal showdown, with Aalyah Mysterio watching closely backstage. Despite Murphy heroically fighting through an injury, Rollins emerged victorious with a Stomp.
After the bell, Rollins looked to continue his attack with a post-match Kendo stick assault. This brought Aalyah to the ring with her brother Dominik on her heels. And when she threw herself in front of Rollins to stop his wrath, a reluctant Dominik was forced to get her out. After Rollins attacked him from behind, Rey Mysterio came to the rescue with the chair. While Rey tried to set his children right, Aalyah went to help Murphy, and Rollins retreated smiling.

Jey used his brother Jimmy Uso to treat WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns to a pre-Hell in a Cell beatdown.
Universal Champion Roman Reigns came to the ring ready to lay out the consequences of Jey Uso facing him in Sunday’s Hell in a Cell “I Quit” Match. Instead he got Jimmy Uso, wearing a mask so he looked like his brother, appearing on the TitanTron to reveal himself to be at Reigns’ suite. This infuriated The Big Dog long enough for Jey to launch a sneak attack from behind and hit Reigns with a superkick and an Uso Splash to humiliate his cousin en route to Sunday’s Hell in a Cell showdown.
As The Usos celebrated up the ramp, a fuming Reigns laid out the consequences of Hell in a Cell. Namely, that if and when Jey quits, he will fall in line and do what The Tribal Chief tells him. And if he didn’t, he, Jimmy Uso, Naomi, their children and their children’s children would all be out! (Via WWE.com)
