Enzo and Big Cass vs The Usos
Jimmy and Jey Uso seemed intent on going after Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens and the tag team championships, but would have to get through Enzo and Big Cass first. The Usos were quite impressive, working well as a unit, saving each other and delivering double team moves. But they just didn't have an answer for Big Cass, as the seven footer turned the tide of the match again and again. In the end, it was simply too much, and Amore was able to capitalize, hitting the Eat Defeat on Jey for the win.
Winners: Enzo and Big Cass
The Realest Guys Get Their Chance
After the match, we got word of another match for next week, just made official by Daniel Bryan. We will see Enzo and Cass square off with the new tag team of Heath Slater and Rhyno, and the winners will challenge Zayn and Owens at Halloween Havoc.
Tye Dillinger vs Randy Orton
The Viper's interference cost Tye Dillinger big last week, as he helped Baron Corbin become the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship. Although we have no clue why Orton helped his former enemy, it seemed Corbin was playing along, as he accompanied Randy to the ring. Tye looked ready for his revenge here tonight, but he was in there with one of the best. Orton showed the SmackDown fans why he is a former WWE Champion, staying one step ahead throughout the match, before delivering a fateful RKO.
Winner: Randy Orton

Orton had a big smile on his face, satisfied with his night's work as Dillinger lay motionless on the mat. Corbin handed him a mic, and Orton then addressed the WWE Universe. He was proud, not only of what he did to a loser like Tye but what he helped Corbin do last week. Plenty of fans wondered why he would work with someone like Baron- the answer is quite simple. In Baron Corbin, Randy Orton sees the future. A future where guys like Kenny Omega, B-rate indie knock-offs, will be kicked to the curb. And at Halloween Havoc, Corbin will do what Orton could not, and that's put Omega in his place.
Charlotte and Nia Jax vs Alexa Bliss and Bayley
You had to wonder how much trust there would be for all four of these competitors, with a championship match at stake for the winners. Bliss and Bayley did have one advantage over Charlotte and Nia, given the fact that they have formed a good friendship over the past few months. They also worked well as a team, working down Charlotte with double team moves. Just like earlier, the more powerful competitor made a big impact, as Nia Jax turned the tide in her team's favor. But Bayley is one of the most decorated wrestlers in Universe Mode, and she had an answer for the power of the Female Destroyer. She took Jax down with a series of forearms, before ending off the flurry with a big sliding clothesline! That forced a tag to Charlotte, and the Queen quickly fell victim to a big german suplex. Bayley climbed to the top rope, looking for her elbow drop. At the last moment, Charlotte rolled out of the way, and then caught the former champion with a nasty chop block. The Figure Eight was applied, as Nia took out Alexa, and Bayley had no choice but to tap out.
Winners: Charlotte and Nia Jax
The Champ Is Here
Earlier in the night, we saw John Cena arrive to the arena, intent on calling out Bray Wyatt. But Bray had other ideas. The Eater of Worlds was ready for the WWE Champion, ambushing him in a backstage corridor. Cena tried his best to fight back, but Wyatt was unrelenting. A Sister Abigail onto a steel chair was John Cena's fate, as security did their best to drag Bray away, the champion laid out for the second week in a row.
