October 15th Smackdown

*Edge to the ring…Seth is the only person who comes close to matching his intensity…so Edge must “end this” as it is affecting their families…this time Edge won’t hesitate to put Seth down, scar his soul…a scar you never ever heal from.

*We get a commercial for the annual WWE Christmas show at MSG, Sun. Dec. 26^th…featuring a double main event of Big E. defending the WWE title vs. Bobby Lashley & Becky Lynch defending the SmackDown Women’s title vs. Bianca Belair…interesting.

(1)  KotR: Finn Balor defeats Sami Zayn…Balor connects on his second attempt at the Coup de Grace for the win (11:25)…Balor moves on to the King of the Ring Finals at Crown Jewel.

*Paul Heyman vignette…recap of the mental torture of the Wise Man since Brock’s return.

(2)  Sonya Deville & Shayna Baszler defeats Naomi…in a TORNADO 2-on-1 HANDICAP Match…Shayna chokes Naomi out with the Kirifuda Clutch & Sonya covers Naomi with a boot on her chest for the win (02:02).

*Hit Row vignette…NOW YOU KNOW…coming soon!

*Sasha Banks backstage…she knows greatness…she’s been making history since day 1.

*Seth Rollins to the ring…he is in no way intimidated by idea of facing Edge inside the cell…says he has out-manipulated the master manipulator, therefore he goes into Hell in a Cell with the mental & physical advantage…this fairytale ends inside that cell.

(3)  QC: Zelina Vega defeats Carmella…Carmella tells her assistants at ringside that she won’t need her mask tonight after Zelina promised a clean match before the two ladies left Gorilla Position & headed to the ring…Carmella kicks Zelina in the face, angering her…Zelina hits a Thesz Press & starts dropping bombs on Carmella’s face…Carmells rolls out to get her mask, but Liv Morgan is there to stop her…Carmella slides back in to avoid a countout…Zelina immediately rolls her up for the win (02:42)…AFTER…Zelina walks back up the ramp & puts on the crown.

*Happy Talk with Happy Corbin & Madcap Moss…Moss’ terrible jokes are interrupted by Rick Boogs, he introduces Shinsuke Nakamura…they take a lap, dance with McAfee & head back up the ramp just as the Street Profits’ music hits…

(4)  The Usos defeat The Street Profits…in a STREET FIGHT to retain their SmackDown Tag Team Championship…Ford gets put through a table at ringside by Jey, leaving Dawkins alone…Usos hits stereo Superkicks on Dawkins from opposite corners…they follow with consecutive Uso Splashes & Jey covers for the win (10:59).

*Becky Lynch backstage with Kayla…greatness is being undefeated in singles competition for nearly 3 years…greatness is Big Time Becks!

*Announcement of Charlotte Flair vs. Bianca Belair for the Raw Women’s Championship on this week’s Monday Night Raw!

(5)  Sasha Banks defeats Becky Lynch…NON-TITLE…Bianca Belair makes her way to ringside just before the opening bell & joins commentary…the match spills outside in front of Bianca…Sasha ducks a forearm from Becky & Bianca eats the shot instead…back inside, Sasha locks in the Banks Statement, Becky crawls under the ropes to break the hold…Bianca whips Becky with the braid, sending her stumbling backwards into a Backstabber for the win (17:45).

*Roman (& Heyman) to the ring for the contract signing…Brock Lesnar follows…Paul Heyman has looked over the contract & counsels the Tribal Chief to sign…Roman does…Brock signs next, without breaking eye contact with Roman…Roman calls him a dumbass for not reading it…Brock tells Roman he already read it this morning “with my advocate, Paul Heyman”…Brock gets up & leaves after pulling the figurative pin on the grenade…Roman is pissed, Paul Heyman looks like he is about to vomit.
