Another title of sorts was on the line this week, but it wasn’t a championship.
Toward the end of the match, Zayn distracted Owens long enough for Azeez to recover and hit him with two Nigerian Nails.
At this point, it’s unclear whether WWE wants to push one man over the other, and that makes this one of the more unpredictable feuds going on.
For what felt like the 20th time this year, Corbin faced Nakamura in a singles match.
Despite the repetitiveness of this feud, the competitors did a good job upping the intensity to make this bout feel bigger than their previous encounters.
On the previous show, Otis decimated Montez Ford after his match with Chad Gable, so this was about more than just a win.
Gable slapped him to sucker him into a chase that led right into an attack from Otis.
Mysterio and Reigns were going to have this match Sunday, but WWE decided to move it from the pay-per-view to the go-home episode of SmackDown.
Rey claimed he couldn’t wait another day to get his hands on the man who powerbombed Dominik out of the ring recently, so WWE at least tried to offer an explanation for the move.
To his credit, Mysterio did a good job acting like a father looking to avenge his son’s beating during his promo at the top of the show.
Jimmy seems to have fallen in line and watched as Reigns choked out Mysterio again after the match was over.
