WWE SmackDown Before Money In The Bank

Let me talk to ya.

SmackDown was LIVE from the O2 Arena, in London here in England, the show was part one of a great couple of nights of World Wrestling Entertainment. Let's have a look at the key moments.

Sami Zayn & Kevin Owens defeated Pretty Deadly to remain Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. 

Backstage, Adam Pearce talked to The Brawling Brutes and announced Ridge Holland would take on the United States Champion, Austin Theory, in a Championship Contenders Match. 

Austin Theory defeated Ridge Holland. 

After the match, Theory attacked Holland, until Sheamus ran down to make the save, later on it was announced we will see Austin Theory against Sheamus next week on SmackDown for the United States Championship. LIVE from Madison Square Garden. AJ Styles vs. Karrion Kross is also scheduled. 

We saw an amazing Bloodline montage, telling us all a story of when it all began until where we are now. 

Bayley defeated Shotzi to remain in contention for the Women's Money In The Bank briefcase, the crowd sang "Hey Bayley" during this match, which was great to hear.

Backstage, Bayley and Iyo beat up Shotzi, cut her hair before walking away. 

Logan Paul was the special guest for the Grayson Waller Effett segment, he was interrupted by LA Knight, the two exchanged words until Santos Escobar hit the ring to make his claim as to why he is going to win the Money In the Bank contract, Butch ran in and a fight ensued. 

Butch defeated Santos Escobar and LA Knight in a triple threat match, a great win for Butch in his home country. 

Bianca Belair had a ticket and sat with the fans to watch Asuka vs. Charlotte for the Women's Championship, the EST eventually got involved, resulting in the match ending in a DQ win for Asuka. Bianca hit KOD's on Asuka and Charlotte on the announce table, sending a message she is not to be messed with. 

In the main event segment, the much anticipated Bloodline segment began with Solo Sikoa, Paul Heyman and Roman Reigns walking to the ring, Roman was wearing a shirt with 'The Only One' written on it, which is sure to bring in a lot of money for the company in merchandise sales.

Roman wanted Jimmy and Jey to apologise for their actions, which never materialised, The Uso's talked about the last time Roman lost a match, which was three years ago and suggested Solo be Tribal Chief, which was met with "Solo" chants, Solo looked at Roman, who was laughing at that thought, perhaps that was a prelude for the future, eventually, the Civil War broke out, leading to a brawl, what a way to close out the Money In The Bank go home show.
