Rating: 3.3 stars out of 5 stars

Orton and Sheamus start us off, and Sheamus is greeted with his usual chants of “You Look Stupid.” Orton goes for an RKO right away, but Sheamus manages to roll out of the ring. From there we go to break.

Owens and Cesaro end up meeting in the ring after the break, but both tag out so t’s Harper and Ambrose in the ring. Ambrose works over Harper in the corner and hits him with a seater clothesline. Ambrose tags in Reigns, and Harper manages to tag in his leader Wyatt. Reigns hits a massive clothesline on Wyatt as all 4 main match-ups from Summerslam have all been in the ring together already.

Harper and Cesaro end up in the ring and the two trade blows. Cesaro goes for a big swing on Harper, and all hell breaks loose. After the ref gets order, Harper hits a big boot to Cesaro and then the heels go to work on the Swiss Superman. Owens hits the Cannonball on Cesaro and goes for a cover, but only gets a two as we go to break.

Back from the break, Sheamus is in control of Cesaro and hits a rolling senton. The heels do some quick tags to keep fresh and Owens & Wyatt both hit senton splashes. Cesaro gets caught with an Irish Curse Backbreaker for a two count. Both men end up down and Cesaro gets the hot tag to Roman Reigns. Reigsn manages to hit a Drive-By to Sheamus, and the big samoan is in complete control of the heel team.

Reigns is eventually overwhelmed by the heels and is downed. However he manages to hit a Superman punch to Sheamus and both men end up down. Ambrose and Harper become the legal men and Ambrose unloads with a bulldog and a rebound clothesline. Dean hits a suicide dive to Harper and Wyatt o the outside.

All the Superstars end up in the ring taking each other out with signature moves, including Orton hitting Sheamus with an RKO and Reigns spearing Wyatt. Ambrose hits the Dirty Deeds to Harper and picks up the victory. The faces stand tall to end SmackDown!
