Time for some much-needed positivity.

WWE produced a fun three-way tag for a crack at the Undisputed Tag belts on next week's show. That, for those keeping score at home, means Damian Priest and Finn Bálor (and presumably the rest of Judgment Day) will be on Smackers. They should help fill the sizeable void left by Roman Reigns.

Back to the match. The Street Profits were logical winners here. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins have yet to get going as heels, and there's certainly more WWE could do with Bobby Lashley, but there was a lot to like in this win. It even had the bonus ball of sowing seeds for a Brawling Brutes split.

Sheamus will return to TV soon and get that moving, you'd imagine. Butch made an arse of things and cost the team, so there's a chance Pete Dunne is spinning out of this role sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed that works out for him.

Solid effort from everyone, including Pretty Deadly.
