The New Day conquered The Bludgeon Brothers to become five-time WWE Tag Team champions after a gruesome no-disqualification battle on SmackDown LIVE.

The champ added that although he'd broken a promise in losing his match at SummerSlam, he made a second oath to rip Joe's heart out the next time the Samoan Submission Machine mentioned his family.

But before he had a chance to finish, Joe blindsided Styles and put him to sleep with the Coquina Clutch.
