The second-longest match on this week's SmackDown featured no less than 6 tag-teams competing for the right to challenge The Wyatt Family for the SmackDown Tag-Team Titles. The Hype Bros, The Vaudevillains, American Alpha, The Ascension, Breezango and the duo of Heath Slater and Rhyno were the ones involved in the Battle Royal.

Perhaps the biggest story to come out of the bout was that Slater accidentally eliminated Rhyno from the match. Trying to help his buddy, Heath crashed into the 'Man Beast' and sent him tumbling to the floor. The recap of that story ended up causing the announcers to miss another elimination.

Mojo Rawley was tossed over the top rope by Fandango whilst WWE ran a double feature replay of the Heath Slater and Rhyno incident. Mauro Ranallo, JBL, David Otunga and Tom Phillips failed to mention that Rawley had been hurled from the match at all.

This was unfortunate, because Zack Ryder would go on to win the match for The Hype Bros.
