It all started at Wrestlemania when Happy Corbin was defeated by Drew McIntyre. Corbin won’t take personal responsibility for the loss, and instead, has put the blame on Madcap Moss. It didn’t take long before their friendship imploded and came to an end. Moss was put out of action and Corbin decided to gloat during an episode of Happy Talk. Rubbing salt into the wounds, Corbin destroyed Moss’ Andre the Giant Memorial Trophy.

Epic Tag Team Title Unification Main Event
The Bloodline Unify the Tag Titles
The Usos and RK-Bro were all set to unify the tag team titles at Wrestlemania Backlash earlier this month. Those plans were put on hold as the match was changed to a 6-man tag with Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre added to the mix. Instead, the match unification match was added to WWE Smackdown and was slotted in the main event. The match was as good as advertised and has the WWE Universe in attendance on their feet. In the end, Reigns and Heyman interfered allowing Jey to hit the big splash on Riddle to unify the titles. Once the match was over, however, the beatdown of RK-Bro continued.
