AJ Styles beats Randy Orton!
Orton went to nail a second RKO, but Styles manages to stun him for long enough to deliver a second Phenomenal Forearm in a matter of moments. He covers Orton for the three count, and a big win!
Next up: Smackdown tag team championship match
The Usos (C) v The Bar v Ricochet & Aleister Black v Rusev & Shinsuke Nakamura
It is a weekend of double duty for Ricochet and Aleister Black.
The duo worked a tremendous match against The War Raiders at NXT: Takeover New York on Friday night, in an unsuccessful attempt to claim the brand's tag team titles.
The Uso's will be favourites to retain here, but it hasn't been a great night for the incumbent so far...
The Bar are dominating here!
Cesaro has just locked Ricochet into the Cesaro Swing for a good full minute - maybe more - while Sheamus pounded the chest of Black on the outside with clubbing blows.
That left the two NXT graduates looking a little stunned, but there's no let-up in the action as The Uso's are involved, followed swiftly by Nakamura and Rusev.
You can't take your eyes off this one!
CAR CRASH SUPLEX!
What devastation! All EIGHT men were involved in a gigantic suplex from the top rope, yet somehow Ricochet is able to roll through the impact and survive. Incredible.
Ricochet nails a 630 splash on Sheamus, but is it enough for yet another shock title change? Not on that occasion - the pinfall is broken up.
THE USOS RETAIN THE SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS.
Great match that. Really fun. There was a moment where you felt each team could come out on top, but in the end it was a superb, trademark double splash from The Uso's that was enough to ensure the Smackdown tag team titles stayed put.
AND STILL... The Uso's retain their Smackdown tag team championships at WrestleMania
