Bengaluru, September 18: Last night’s SmackDown Live ignited the storylines for the next pay-per-view event, Hell in a Cell, along side the fallouts from Clash of Champions. A huge six-man tag team match was the main event of the night, while there was a coronation for the 2019 King of the Ring tournament winner on the show.
Plus, we also heard from Rowan about his big victory over Roman Reigns and his reunion with Harper on the show which took place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
The New Day - WWE Champion Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods vs. Randy Oton & SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Revival, Scott Dawson, and Dash Wilder was the opening contest of SmackDown Live. Orton hit the ring-draped DDT and tagged in his partners to set up for a Super RKO on Kofi. But Big E sent Orton to the ring post. Kofi then landed the Trouble in Paradise on Dawson to pick up the victory.
