Solosikoa comes to the ring with Tongaroa, Taratonga and J.C. Mateo. He says that if they run smackdown and someone is having problems it’s too bad. He reminds everyone that Sami Zain, Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu were trampled down last week.
Sami Zayn’s music is a hit and he heads to the ring. He tells them to relax because he just wants to talk. Solo puts him in the ring.
Sami says he put all the pressure on himself to become a world champion, and after losing to Rusev, he actually feels free. He now appreciates solo as he can focus on other goals. There’s a title he’s never held: a US championship.
Solo tells him that he will never get that belt because Sami is in the live role and there is no place in SmackDown. Sami smiles and says that’s the real reason he came out. He is now officially part of SmackDown. Sami tells Solo that he took something from him, so now he’s coming to ask for the solo title. He throws the first punch on his solo, but Mateo and Roa jump him. There’s also a shot from Solo Lands, and Tara joins in the beatdown.
Jimmy Uso’s music hits and he rushes through the ring to pull out Roa and Mateo with a punch. Tara drops Jimmy with her forearm and Mateo continues stomping on Sami. Tara lined up for a chokeslam, but everything changes when Jacob Fatu’s music hits.
Fatu creates a storm, dodges Tara and works out solo. Jimmy blows up Tara with a super kick, and Sami nails him with his big boots. Jimmy chases another superkick, and Fatu nails one to stop the double choke slam. We send cod to the floor together.
Nick Aldis comes out and tells Solo that this is not a way to welcome SmackDown’s newest member. He officially makes the main event: Sami Zayn, Jimmy Uso and three members: Jacob Fatu vs Solo’s Squad.
