Jey ended up on the outside when Stardust held open the ropes and the Tag Team champions tagged in and out, working Uso over. Miz and Los Matadores tagged in. Mizdow flailed around backstage.
The crowd really was loving Mizdow and when he tagged in, they went nuts but Goldust tagged him back out.

Your winners and new WWE Tag Team champions, Miz & Mizdow!
Miz looked like he was pissed he didn’t get the pin but then celebrated like he won alone.
A really fun opener with a lot of great talents working a good pace and having some really great sequences. I liked this a lot.
They plugged Larry the Cable Guy for tomorrow.
Backstage, they did a vignette with Adam Rose and The Bunny playing with some WWE action figures. He lost to the Bunny so Titus O’Neil and Heath Slater made fun of him. Rose challenged them to a tag match tonight. Oh boy!

Your winners and Survivors, Natalya & Emma & Naomi & Alicia Fox
It was hit or miss at times, but I thought it was a good match. They worked as hard as they could and it was never boring to me. It was a far better effort then last year's bout that's for sure.
Tyson Kidd celebrated in front of his wife to take the spotlight from her.
The announcers recapped everything on the Kickoff Show. They then went to the Panel to discuss the main event. Heyman said the stakes are even higher then they were. They said Vince McMahon and the winning Team would be on the Fallout show later on.
They went to a video feature on Bray Wyatt vs. Dean Ambrose.
