Cody Rhodes made the save for Damain Priest and LA Knight after this week\'s SmackDown from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana went off air.
The main event of the Royal Rumble go-home show saw Knight and Priest battling Jacob Fatu and Tama Tonga in a tag team match. This came after the former Bloodline duo interrupted Priest\'s promo earlier in the night and declared that they were \'off the leash.\'
Priest managed to win the match for his team by pinning Tonga after Knight took out Fatu with a clothesline through the barricade. The Samoan Warewolf, however, didn\'t stay out for long. Fatu attacked Priest immediately after the bell, and the show ended with the former Bloodline star standing tall.
