Bengaluru, October 5: Last night marked perhaps the biggest weekly episode of WWE as the occasion of Smackdown 20th anniversary was celebrated at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Legends of sports entertainment including The Rock were in attendance on the show in which the main event featured Brock Lesnar who became the new champion and was confronted by a former UFC Heavyweight Champion.
Plus, two careers were on the line in a ladder match whereas several spectacular matches were in store on the grand FOX premiere of Smackdown.
The show opened as Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon welcomed us to the new era of SmackDown Live with a new stage, pyros, and vignettes.
WWE RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch walked into the show in a thunderous ovation from the fans. She cut a promo until Baron Corbin interrupted. The Rock made his entrance to the ring making the fans go crazy. A Rocky-style promo followed before he and Becky attacked Corbin. The Rock delivered the People's Elbow and the Rock Bottom before thanking the crowd and leave the ring.
Rey Mysterio's music hit as he appeared to the ring with former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez. Cain attacked Lesnar with some punches sending him for a retreat. He stood tall with Mysterio to close the SmackDown 20th Anniversary as Heyman and Lesnar stared them down from the ramp.
