Kane, Big Show and the tag team division backstage
The tag teams were standing backstage, either arguing with each other, or trying to figure out what was going on, when Kane came in and had to yell over them to quiet them down.
Kane said they all had a chance to make history and said they’d put a Pat Patterson idea to use, Tag Team Turmoil, and he explained the rules.
Kane said it’s all about luck of the draw, but that the match would definitely start with Fastlane opponents Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan.
Show said that this is a big opportunity for all of them, and that they need to grab the bull by the horns. El Torito then charged at him because WWE.
Kane and Show said that was the attitude they were looking for. Kane then hyped up some of the teams in the room, and reiterated that they all have an opportunity to make an impact. The tag teams then stormed out of the room, all hyped up.
This was a nice segment. A nice break from the usual in-ring promo.
Bray Wyatt vs. R-Truth
Truth came out aggressive, looking for an advantage, and it looked like he might get it, until he came off the ropes and Wyatt slapped the taste out of his mouth.
Wyatt was on the offensive, then it looked like Truth might start to get an advantage, but Wyatt kept him down.
In the end, Truth was able to create a little space and it looked like he would get some consistent offense going, but Wyatt hit him with a big clothesline, and followed it up with Sister Abigail.
Wyatt defeats Truth via pinfall.
2.5 out of 5 stars – Nice match, considering it only went 5 minutes as the opening for SmackDown.
