LWO defeated The Usos.
Needing to secure a win and get back in Roman Reigns’ good graces, The Usos took on The LWO.
The Usos employed a sound strategy in the early goings, isolating Santos Escobar from making the tag to Rey Mysterio. Once Escobar was able to tag in the WWE Hall of Famer, Mysterio lit up Jey Uso with scintillating offense.
Both Mysterio and Escobar nearly claimed the win after a Canadian Destroyer from Mysterio and a top-rope hurricanrana from Escobar.
As Mysterio was going for the 619, he ran into a superkick from Jey. Jey followed this up with a huge Frog Splash from the top-rope, but Mysterio miraculously kicked out.
With both Usos up top to hit the double splash, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn distracted The Bloodline members, allowing Escobar to hit a huge splash on Jimmy to get the monumental win. (Via WWE.com)
