Pretty Deadly def. The Brawling Brutes
It was Fight Night x 5 to kick off SmackDown, as a No. 1 Contenders’ Gauntlet Match put an Undisputed WWE Tag Team Title opportunity on the line. The Brawling Brutes got things rolling, as a quick tag teed up Sheamus for a decisive Brogue Kick set the tone with a defeat of The Street Profits. The O.C. stormed the ring with fury, but when Karl Anderson let down his guard, The Celtic Warrior connected with the second victorious Brogue Kick in a row.
The next two victories would come in rapid succession, as a winded Sheamus tagged in Ridge Holland who overpowered LWO. Hit Row would crash the scene, but the only smash hit that was delivered was a third Brogue Kick from Sheamus that took out Top Dolla.
Pretty Deadly would be the final team to enter, as they looked to spoil a wire-to-wire performance by The Brawling Brutes. Sheamus showed off his marathon abilities, as he hit another stride in minute 20 of The Brawling Brutes run, as he stacked up both Elton Prince & Kit Wilson for to double up his 10 Beats of the Bodhran. A surprise tag by Prince caught The Celtic Warrior off guard, and the snack of a Superstar hit a leg drop off the top rope to steal the win and clinch Pretty Deadly their title opportunity.
