In the main event, Derrick Lewis won his Heavyweight bout against Rodrigo Nascimento via TKO (punches) in Round 3.
Lewis recently said that he’s been in talks with WWE about a potential crossover:
“Yeah, we are actually in talks right now and we’ve been talking for a few months now. I was supposed to go down there in February to check everything out.”
When asked what would his finishing move be if he wrestles in WWE, Lewis picked Rikishi’s Stinkface move:
“It had to be something like Rikishi you know, you might see it man you know somehow I like taking off my shorts so we might see something like that.”
Speaking of Orton, he defeated AJ Styles in the main event of this week’s SmackDown to advance to the next round of the King Of The Ring tournament.
Orton will face Carmelo Hayes in the next round on next Friday’s SmackDown.
Randy also cut a promo backstage, where he noted that he’s not done with Tama Tonga, who is also in this tournament.
