Killings had just competed in a match against the Undisputed WWE champion and his idol, John Cena, at Saturday Night Main Event on May 24 in Tampa, Florida. Cena easily defeated him by way of pinfall before laying out Killings in the middle of the ring.

Friday night's latest "WWE SmackDown" closed with the continuation of the championship feud, as the company gears up for "Money In the Bank" on June 7, when Cena and Rhodes face off in a tag-team match alongside their respective partners Logan Paul and World Heavyweight Champion Jey Uso.

Cena and Paul lunged into action, but were outgunned by the former undisputed WWE tag team champions. Uso dove onto Cena before hitting a combination flapjack-Cody Cutter onto Paul. Uso raised his world heavyweight title and Rhodes hoisted Cena's undisputed WWE title as their rivals watched from the ramp.
