It’s been weeks now since SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers randomly crossed paths on SmackDown Live with Daniel Bryan as The Leader of the Yes Movement entered the arena to compete for a shot at the WWE Title. Harper and Rowan wouldn’t let Bryan forget the chance encounter, ambushing him during the #1 Contender’s Gauntlet Match to make him easy pickings for elimination by The Miz. For whatever reason, the tag titleholders had their sights set on Bryan, who had no backup at the time.

An old friend would re-emerge however, as Kane made his surprising return to stand alongside his friend and reunite Team Hell No. The pair sought revenge, but had to first earn a shot at the titles, which they were successful at with a win over The Usos to set their opportunity for Extreme Rules.

The Bludgeon Brothers didn’t wait for their match to get their hands on Team Hell No, attacking them backstage earlier in the night and taking Kane out. Bryan was left to fend for himself and was able to stay in the fight despite being against the odds and got Harper in the Yes Lock. Rowan was able to break it up though and once the champions got in control, it only seemed like a matter of time before Bryan was done for.

The ever-resilient Bryan would take advantage of a mistake by The Bludgeon Brothers and as everyone was down on the floor, Kane would hobble to the apron while wearing a walking boot. ‘The Big Red Monster’ would receive the tag and plant the champions with separate Chokeslams, then call for the Tombstone, but his foot couldn’t hold out. Bryan would blind tag back in and unleash a flurry of kicks to the delight of the PPG Paints Arena, but a blind tag on the other side would thwart it, leading to The Bludgeon Brothers retaining.
