Bengaluru, May 29: The WWE Championship picture was a prime concern heading into this week's episode of Smackdown Live, where the Champion, Kofi Kingston agreed to compete in a Money in the Bank rematch despite being in a battered and bruised condition.
Plus, we also had a huge main event match featuring Roman Reigns, while the women's champion was also in action in a solo contest at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Here are the full results from the show:
Kevin Owens kicked off this week's Smackdown by talking trash about the Oklahoma audience and Kofi Kingston. He predicted that at Super ShowDown, Dolph will beat Kofi for the WWE Championship. The WWE Champion soon entered the ring and spoke on Kevin's attacks on Big E from last week. So he wanted to repay him for his dirty deeds.
Hence, Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens was underway as the opening contest of Smackdown. Owens punished Kofi for the most part and delivered a splash off the apron outside the ring. Kofi broke referee's ten counts to digest another splash and senton but still kicked out of the pinfalls. He countered a pop-up powerbomb attempt with a Trouble in Paradise to pick up the win in the end.
