Alberto Del Rio has won back the US Title, in a match to be aired on Thursday's Smackdown. The show was taped on Tuesday night in Lafayette, Louisiana. Del Rio's victory means that Kalisto's US Title run barely lasted a day. He won it back via distraction when King Barrett got involved. What was the point in doing the original title switch? It is because WWE are trying to create interest for Smackdown now that is on the USA Network, and having Del Rio win the belt back is seen as dramatic. They are already crowing about it on their website, trying to generate interest for the broadcast. There's also genuine desire to push Kalisto, and he can at least say that he's a former US Champion. Did it undermine him to lose it so quickly? Possibly, but he's also had more focus than he would have done. Elsewhere on the show, Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose set up a last man standing match for Royal Rumble. In the first match, The Dudleys defeated Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in a tables match. Braun Strowman destroyed The Dudleys in the aftermath. Heath Slater, Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas and Adam Rose beat Jack Swagger, Zack Ryder, Goldust and Damien Sandow. It was Dallas scoring the pin on Ryder. Becky Lynch went over Brie Bella. In the main event, Dean Ambrose and Neville went to a double count out with Sheamus and Kevin Owens.
