Bengaluru, Aug 13: This week’s Smackdown came with a rare Intercontinental Championship Match featuring in the main event segment.
Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament continues on the show while Drew McIntyre put down Roman Reigns’ right-hand men for interrupting him, again and again.
Also, suspended Ronda Rousey made a surprise appearance on the show where a former bunch of NXT Superstars also made a big return.
Check out the recap and results from the August 12 episode of Friday Night Smackdown that took place at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina.
– Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah defeated Shotzi and Xia Li in the opening match of Smackdown to advance to the next round of the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament.
Shotzi sent Rodriguez into the middle turnbuckle and then delivered a suplex but Rodriguez kicked out of it. Li tagged back into the match and ran right into the Texana Bomb from Raquel to digest the pin-fall loss.
– In a backstage promo, Karrion Kross claimed that Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns are the chosen ones while he and Scarlett are the forgotten ones. They waited for the perfect time to strike (last week’s attack on McIntyre) and come right after the gold.
– During his in-ring promo, Drew McIntyre informed that to no one’s surprise Roman Reigns wasn’t on the show. Once Clash At The Castle passes by, he will gladly deal with Karrion Kross for attacking him last week.
