Roman Reigns has overcome the challenge of Seth Rollins and Kane at this week's WWE SmackDown tapings in Kansas City.
The former Shield member, who will face WWE World Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 31 on March 29, was due to partner Mark Henry against the Authority duo, but Henry was shown to have been beaten down backstage before the contest.
However, Reigns was able to secure the pin over Kane, before Randy Orton came down to the ring after the match to fend off an attack on Reigns from The Authority.
Elsewhere on the show, which will air on Sky Sports on Thursday night, Dolph Ziggler won a gauntlet match that involved all of the challengers for the intercontinental title in a ladder match at WrestleMania.
The team of Cesaro, Tyson Kidd and Natalya defeated Los Matadores and El Torito, while Paige beat Brie Bella.
