Kalisto's United States Championship reign came to an abrupt end as he shipped the belt back to Alberto Del Rio on the latest episode of Smackdown.

The masked grappler won the title from Del Rio on Raw but lost it three days later when interference from The Mexican's pal, Bad News Barrett, led to him tapping out to the Cross Armbreaker.

Becky Lynch, The Dudley Boyz and The Social Outcasts were also victorious on the blue brand, beating Brie Bella, The Wyatt Family and Jack Swagger, Goldust, Damien Sandow and Zack Ryder respectively.

Lynch forced Bella to tap out to the Dis-arm-her, while Bubba and D-Von Dudley overcame Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in a Tables Match after hurling Harper through the pine - a turn of events that earned the tag-team legends a vicious post-match beating.

Plus, the new Social Outcasts faction - Heath Slater, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel and Adam Rose - prevailed when Dallas unleased the Running Bo-Dog.

Elsewhere, Dean Ambrose and Neville's clash with Kevin Owens and Sheamus ended in disqualification after The Lunatic Fringe took a pummelling outside the ring.

However, Neville launched a thrilling counterpunch post-match, downing Owens and Sheamus before cracking the former with a Red Arrow from the top turnbuckle.
