The go-home episode of Smackdown for Clash at the Castle was a taped edition where Drew McIntyre sent a valiant message in the mains event segment to the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion before the WWE PLE.

Karrion Kross made her debut with a win over a former Cruiserweight Champion while Ronda Rousey continued the trend of putting her hands on WWE Officials. Also, there was a first-ever Viking Rules match on the show.

Check out the recap and results from the September 2 episode of Friday Night Smackdown on FOX that took place at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan,

Pearce then went on to call Ronda “the single biggest b*tch he’s ever met”. An irate Rousey then applied the Armbar on Pearce amid huge cheers from the audience.

– Hit Row (AJ “Top Dolla” Francis and Ashante “Thee” Adonis with B-Fab) defeated Maximum Male Models (Mansoor and Mace with Max and Maxxine Dupri).
