• What Happened After SmackDown Went Off The Air Last Night?

Two dark matches took place after last night’s SmackDown went off the air (and these matches took place after 205 Live was over).

In the first dark match, “The Big Dog” Roman Reigns defeated King Corbin. Reigns & Corbin will now battle in a Steel Cage match at WWE Super ShowDown 2020 in Saudi Arabia.

In the second dark match, “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt defeated The Miz to retain the Universal Championship. It should be noted that the red light returned during this match (the red light wasn’t used at Royal Rumble 2020 during Fiend’s match with Daniel Bryan).
