Bengaluru, October 10: On last night's WWE Smackdown Live hosted at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana we saw a solid edition to add build up to the milestone 1000th episode which takes place next week.
A Championship rematch and the World Cup tournament qualifiers which saw two big returns were the highlights of the show. While, the Miz TV also returned with the champion and the new contender as hosts.
The Smackdown women's championship match kicked off Smackdown 999. Becky took control early in the match with a kick and leg-drop. But Charlotte soon hit back with a suplex outside the ring and followed it with the Natural Selection.
Becky later rolled out of the ring and Charlotte followed her. In the end as both women stayed outside to the referee's 10 counts, the match was declared as a count out with Lynch retaining the title. The angered Charlotte then speared Becky through LED board to end the segment.
Despite being a No DQ match, the pair have yet again been involved in a controversial end to the contest. Hence, there is every chance they will have another match at Evolution with more stipulations.
Joe tried to come back into the match but Jeff gave an atomic drop. Joe hit the steel steps hard to rupture his knees and the referee was forced to declare as Joe incompetent giving the win to Jeff Hardy.
