A lot of matches that WWE originally announced for tonight’s SmackDown did not end up taking place.
This happened because Vince McMahon made a lot of changes to the script.
The following advertised matches did not take place:
– LA Knight vs. Butch vs. Santos Escobar
– Bayley vs. Shotzi with Bayley’s Women’s Money In The Bank ladder match spot on the line
– Baron Corbin vs. Cameron Grimes
According to Fightful Select, WWE stars aren’t happy about the changes Vince McMahon has been making to the shows at the last minute:
“One talent even asked — ‘Did SmackDown get Vinced?’ Many of the matches that had been promoted ahead of the episode of SmackDown were adjusted and cut, and there were significant changes to the version of the show that existed Friday morning.”
Below are the complete SmackDown results:
– The Usos kicked off tonight’s SmackDown and talked about how Roman Reigns has disrespected them. They called Paul Heyman a snake.
Jey Uso said they are the best tag team in the world and they will welcome Roman & Solo Sikoa to the Uso Penitentiary.
– LA Knight def. Rey Mysterio
Knight tried to attacked Rey after the match, but Santos Escobar made the save.
– Ridge Holland accidentally ran into Solo Sikoa backstage. Solo stared at him and Ridge asked rudely what’s he looking at. Solo laid out Ridge with a Samoan Spike.
Sheamus then asked Adam Pearce to book him in a match against Solo. Sheamus came out and challenged Sikoa to a fight.
– WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler def. NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn to become the Unified Women’s Tag Team Champions
Raquel Rodriguez was ringside for this match and Ronda called her out about it after the match.
Rodriguez said she’s here to issue a challenge for the Titles that “we” never lost. Shayna asked who is we, because Liv Morgan is out of action with an injury.
Liv then made her return and she joined Raquel in the ring to have a face-off with the champions.
You can watch her return below:

– Pretty Deadly appeared on The Grayson Waller Effect. Grayson put over Kit Wilson & Elton Prince and even said they became #1 Contenders by defeating every tag team on SmackDown in the Gauntlet Match last week, although they only defeated Brawling Brutes in the end, while Brawling Brutes defeated every other team in the match.
Grayson even took a shot at Kevin Owens and said his show is better than The KO Show.
Street Profits interrupted because Pretty Deadly dropped their name and this leads to a match.
