We got a recap of Bray Wyatt and The Fiend’s steps from final week right before SmackDown kicked off with the Firefly Funhouse. Wyatt greeted us and claimed that all people was blaming him for what occurred to Alexa Bliss previous 7 days. He said Strowman was the just one to blame and explained that the Fiend was waiting around for Braun to clearly show up and has taken Alexa hostage.

Matt Riddle kicked things off in the SmackDown ring with the first match of the night time.

Matt Riddle vs. Sheamus

Riddle went for an early standing sleeper keep but Sheamus locked in a headlock of his individual. Sheamus strike some kicks prior to Riddle locked in an armbar. Sheamus strike a large powerbomb and then the chops in the corner ahead of Riddle kicked him off the leading rope to the exterior.

We returned to SmackDown immediately after a crack to see Sheamus hit a trio of backbreakers just before Riddle came back again with a massive sequence of moves for a near fall. Riddle went up prime but missed the Floating Bro ahead of using the White Sound for the around drop.

Sheamus skipped a spear and finished up outside the place Riddle joined him for a ringside brawl. Chad Gable attacked Riddle mid-match and allowed The Authentic Bro to select up the DQ acquire.

Consequence: Matt Riddle def. Sheamus through DQ

Matt Riddle took Gable out following the attack and following the final result was declared in Riddle’s favor, Sheamus took Gable out with the Brogue kick and then hit a 2nd one particular just to be certain. Not pretty the king’s ransom Gable was hoping for.

Match rating: A

Backstage on SmackDown, Sheamus walked up to King Corbin and threatened to kick his head off just before Corbin walked out stating he had to get ready for his match with Jeff Hardy afterwards in the evening.
