Location: Times Union Center, Albany, New York
Commentators: Booker T., Jerry Lawler, Rich Brennan
On a sidenote: today is five years to the day since Smackdown debuted on SyFy.
Team Bella vs. Team BAD
Back with Nikki sending Naomi to the apron and Alicia offering a distraction so Nikki can hit the big forearm. Fox puts on the chinlock but the fans want Sasha. A double clothesline finally allows the hot tag to Banks for some house cleaning. The double knees in the corner get two on Nikki as everything breaks down. The Rack Attack is broken up and Sasha grabs the Bank Statement to make Nikki tap at 11:11. Booker: “THAT WAS SMOKING HOT KING!”
Intercontinental Title: Kevin Owens vs. Ryback
Time for the standard chinlock because that big build up to the chinlock had to be killed before it got over. The FEED ME MORE chants get Ryback to his knees and a swinging belly to belly puts Owens on the mat for a change. A sitout powerslam gets two on the champ so he comes out of the corner with some slaps to the face. Ryback is ticked off so he charges into a boot for two. The Meathook connects but Owens rolls outside again and takes the countout at 11:28.
Ryback escapes the apron powerbomb and Shell Shocks Owens post match.
