Tonight's SmackDown main event was the much anticipated Universal Championship match between the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns and Finn Balor, but things got off to a bad start for Balor. Before the match even started Balor was attacked in a brutal fashion by the Usos, who slammed him with the steel steps several times. Balor looked in rough shape but pressed on with the match anyway, and Roman Reigns took full advantage. Reigns threw him around like a ragdoll early and then hit him with a flurry of punches and shoulders, but Balor fought back and went after Reigns' legs and then hit a Sling Blade, turning the tide.
