Chris Jericho's tag-team partnership with AJ Styles continued to grow on WWE Smackdown as the pair banded with Mark Henry to defeat The New Day.

Jericho and Styles began an intense rivalry earlier this year which was settled at WWE Fastlane on Sunday night when the WWE new boy forced Jericho to tap out to the Calf Crusher.

The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla and The Phenomenal One joined forces on Monday's Raw to overcome Heath Slater and Curtis Axel and were victorious again on Thursday night when Styles made Xavier Woods submit after Jericho was blasted with Trouble in Paradise by Kofi Kingston.

Slater followed up his loss on the red brand with a defeat on the blue, the Social Outcasts member pinned by R-Truth after being slapped by Goldust while the referee's back was turned.

Neville blasted fellow Brit King Barrett with two Red Arrows but still ended up on the beaten side as The League of Nations downed the Newcastle native, Dolph Ziggler and the Lucha Dragons.

D-Von Dudley pinned Jimmy Uso after his brother, Bubba Ray, distracted the Samoan by threatening to bring a table into the equation, while Kevin Owens bested Big Show via count-out after the World Largest Athlete tweaked his knee and tumbled outside the ring.

Plus, Tamina and Naomi attacked Natalya and Becky Lynch before Sasha Banks - who will meet Lynch in a No 1 contender's bout for the Divas Championship on Raw - made the save.
