– R-Truth defeated Shinsuke Nakamura on tonight’s WWE SmackDown to become the new WWE United States Champion.
It looked like they may have botched Truth’s roll-up on Nakamura. Truth’s post-match celebration was interrupted by Rusev and Lana, leading to Truth granting a title shot to Rusev. Truth then retained the title over Rusev. Nakamura and Rusev double teamed Truth after the match and beat him down in the middle of the ring.
Truth is now a two-time United States Champion. Nakamura won the title from Rusev on Sunday during the WWE Royal Rumble Kickoff pre-show.
– WWE SmackDown Live included a big celebration for The Miz and Shane McMahon after they won the SmackDown Tag Team Titles at Royal Rumble. Then to cap everything off after The Miz’s dad was introduced and everyone hugged, Shane McMahon started a four corners elimination tag team match for the #1 contendership for their titles.
Heavy Machinery vs The Bar vs New Day vs The Usos fought hard through a couple of commercial breaks. The newcomers Heavy Machinery did very well for themselves until Tucker took a Brogue Kick to take them out.
Shane McMahon and The Miz watched backstage on a TV in a private room while The Usos were able to topple The Bar once again. This time they were claiming a tag team title shot.
Now it will be The Usos vs The Miz and Daniel Bryan at Elimination Chamber for the SmackDown Tag Team Titles.
