Jey Uso was in action against Jason Jordan in the show's second hour, and once again, the match felt like something that happened just to get to what came next. Uso immediately got the heat on Jordan by pulling his head over the top rope, but within a couple of minutes, Jordan got the pin with a roll-up.

After the match, The Usos took out Jordan's knee and started to beat him up, leading to Rhyno and Heath Slater making the save. The Usos ran off, building the hype for the Smackdown Tag Team Championship match on Sunday.

Unfortunately, this match didn't really accomplish that goal. Not only was it short, but the winner isn't even involved in the Pay-Per-View bout. Yes, American Alpha versus The Usos is the long-term program, but Rhyno and Slater versus The Usos seems like a total afterthought.
