The chaotic Six-Pack Ladder Match saw Theory and Waller win the Smackdown Tag Team Titles, stopping #DIY and Awesome Truth from obtaining a pair each.
Towards the end of the match, R-Truth attempted to get the RAW Tag Team Titles but was stopped by The Judgment Day’s JD McDonagh.
However, The New Day sent McDonagh flying to the outside through a table. R-Truth threw Damian Priest out of the ring and secured the belts for his team.
