The next match is a tag-team match between The Miz and John Morrison, who are the current WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions, and The New Day, who are the former WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions. This should be a good match as both teams are very talented.
Main Event
The main event of WWE Smackdown was a tag team match between the team of Randy Orton and Big Show and the team of Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler. The match was originally supposed to be a singles match between Orton and Ziggler, but it was turned into a tag team match when Big Show interfered.

The Street Profits made their presence felt on WWE NXT right away, as Dawkins clotheslined O’Reilly to the floor and then leaps out after him, taking out both members of The Undisputed Era! Back in the ring, Dawkins hits a cartwheel splash on Fish for a near fall. O’Reilly pulls Ford off the apron, allowing Fish to take advantage and take control of the match.
O’Reilly takes Ford down with a suplex and locks in a submission hold. Dawkins tries to make the save, but he gets taken out by Fish. The Street Profits turn things around and hit their signature spinebuster/frog splash combo on Fish for the win!
Match 2
The next match is a tag team contest. The team of Heavy Machinery will take on The Vaudevillians. This should be a good one, as both teams are looking to make a name for themselves in NXT.
