Two weeks ago, WWE booked a fun eight-man tag that set the scene for SmackDown Tag-Team Title challenges to come. On Friday, they kept the multi-man goodness flowing by formatting a six-man outing that was even better than its predecessor.

Big E teamed with The Street Profits to take on Apollo Crews, Chad Gable and Otis. If you're into all-action tags that don't pause for breath but still have enough story, then this was the match for you. It was rock solid from start to finish, didn't eat up too much time and definitely helped a potentially-awkward title rematch down the line.

Crews pinned E to give his next IC Title shot some credibility.

Special shout out to Gable and Otis too. They're defying all expectations to become one of the better tag-teams in WWE right now - the former's technical skills, the latter's power game and the fact they've embraced this union means they're a pleasure to watch.
