DX comes to SmackDown / SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long shakes things up

Triple H and Shawn Michaels journeyed to SmackDown ready to defend their Unified Tag Team Titles against CM Punk and Luke Gallows. However, after a strong exchange of words between all involved – as well as from the No. 1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship Rey Mysterio – SmackDown GM Teddy Long decided to seize the opportunity to change things up. Instead of tag team action, Mysterio would go one-on-one with HBK for the first time ever on SmackDown, while The King of Kings would lock horns with The Straightedge Superstar.

Triple H def. CM Punk by Disqualification

With Luke Gallows and recently inducted Straight Edge Society member Serena lurking at ringside, Triple H triumphed over The Second City Saint, though not the way he may have intended. As The Game was setting up The Pedigree, Serena and Gallows attacked, causing the official to call for the bell. Once the trio had secured their post-match advantage, they tried to cap off their assault by shaving Triple H’s head. But HBK swiftly arrived to even the score and DX cleared the ring of Gallows. When they turned their attention back to Punk, however, the “Straight Edge savior” suddenly pulled Serena in front of him in order to save himself.
