Hulk Hogan arrived out to announce he would be Smackdown General Manager tonight.

Rollins told Hogan to endorse him as the future but instead Hogan endorsed Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler came out to trash talk with Rollins. Big Show came out and said he would knock out Ziggler and Hogan. That brought out Roman Reigns to intervene, leading to a tag team main event getting booked after Hogan polled the crowd if they wanted to see one later on.
