Shane McMahon starts the show talking about Smackdown coming up short at Survivor Series, and Stephanie will try and spin it in her favor, but Smackdown proved they belonged. He praises the Smackdown roster for Survivor Series and their efforts every night, but calls out Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for their actions and demands they come to the ring.
Owens says it must be hard for Shane to constantly come out and make excuses, then Sami wonders if it’s harder for Shane to make excuses or apologize for being wrong. Owens says Shane should seek forgiveness for leaving them off of his team, and claims they can beat anyone RAW has to offer. Shane says Owens and Zayn don’t have any respect for anyone, but Shane says this will be easy… but Owens says he can’t fire them because they are too valuable, and there isn’t anyone who doesn’t think they’re the best.
Shane calls them delusional and says he will take pride in this, and the Smackdown locker room doesn’t respect egos like theirs. Shane goes to fire them but Daniel Bryan cuts them off, and he says there’s a more temporary solution they can use to deal with the duo. Bryan says they can prove they can beat anyone on any given night, and they will face The New Day… with the whole locker room surrounding the ring in a lumberjack match!

Shelton Benjamin (w/ Chad Gable) vs Jey Uso (w/ Jimmy Uso)
Jey and Shelton fight in the corner before Shelton hits a shoulder tackle, then Jey drops him back into the corner with an elbow strike. Jey continues with strikes before Shelton hits a knee lift that sends Jey to the floor as we go to a break. Shelton slams Jey on the floor before hitting him on the ring apron and applying a chinlock, then Jey comes back with some uppercuts. Jey floats over to counter a suplex, then he hits a Samoan drop and follows with running corner knee strike.
Jey hits the ropes as Shelton rolls outside, but Gable jumps on the apron to block the attack, only to have Jimmy pull him out of the way and whip Gable into the barricade. Shelton and Jey exchange a few near falls, then Jey superkicks Gable again before heading up top, only Shelton avoids a top rope splash and hits Pay Dirt for the win.
Winner – Shelton Benjamin
What just happened?! @Sheltyb803 & @WWEGable are standing tall after Benjamin earned a huge “W” over #SDLive #TagTeamChampion Jey @WWEUsos! pic.twitter.com/yRytp08Ea6
