Summary . Four days after Evolution roared back from their Extreme Rules loss by decimating The Shield on Raw , The Hounds of Justice were forced to compete in individual matches to “ redeem themselves ” in the eyes of WWE COO Triple H – including a U . S . Title rematch . Plus , John Cena & The Usos went head - to - head with The Wyatt Family in SmackDown ’ s main event . Still favoring a visibly hurt shoulder – compliments of Evolution this past Monday – Dean Ambrose attempted to regain the United States Championship from new titleholder Sheamus . In the pinnacle of the hard - fought showdown , Sheamus ’ Brogue Kick drove Ambrose completely out of the ring . While the Lunatic Fringe heroically managed to beat the ten - count , he unfortunately walked into a second dose of The Celtic Warrior ’ s earth - shattering finisher moments later , bringing an abrupt end to the contest . When Cesaro ’ s outspoken advocate , Paul Heyman , joined the SmackDown announce team for a highly competitive tag team match , new Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett took Rob Van Dam out of the equation and set up “ The King of Swing ” to overcome Big E with The Neutralizer . The Ravishing Russian , Lana , further expounded the virtues of Russian leader Vladimir Putin , and Mother Russia in general , paving the way for Rusev to dominate Kofi Kingston with an onslaught that ended thanks to the Accolade . On the back of an altercation between their respective mixed tag team partners , Fandango and Santino , Layla rolled up Emma for the win – preventing her from utilizing “ Ven - Emma ” in the process . In the wake of victory , the English - born Diva proceeded to engage in a passionate kiss with Fandango – definitely ending the question as to whether they were , in fact , an item . Being a past recipient of a 3 - on - 1 assault by The Shield , Mark Henry entered his match against Roman Reigns with payback on his mind – looking to induct his fierce foe into the Hall of Pain .

Then , the former World Champion delivered a post - match Batista Bomb on his war - torn adversary . Following Bray Wyatt ’ s earlier statement that he and John Cena were going somewhere from which they would not come back , The Wyatt Family battled the Cenation leader & WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos in a fierce SmackDown main event . In the match ’ s final moments , amidst the pandemonium that resulted from an Usos aerial assault that broke up a 2 - on - 1 attack on Cena outside the ring , Luke Harper delivered an earth - shattering clothesline inside the ring to score a victory over one - half of the WWE Tag Team Champions !
