SmackDown – Oct 28

Listen to The Daily Wrestling News Show: 

*Live from St. Louis, MO.

(1)  Brawling Brutes def. Solo Sikoa & Sami Zayn…Sami gets into it with Jey Uso at ringside…Sikoa has to come between them…Sami climbs back in, distracted…Butch grabs an Inside Cradle for the Roll Up win (11:53)…AFTER…more of Sami & Jey yelling at each other causes Jey & Jimmy Uso to get face-to-face…just then…

*Roman Reigns (& the Wise Man) to the ring…Roman says Sami & Jey need to hash this out NOW…Sami Zayn doesn’t know what he’s done wrong to Jey but apologizes anyway & offers his hand…Jey Uso doesn’t like anything about Sami, says he doesn’t belong…Sami says the Tribal Chief wants peace…Jey says he doesn’t give a damn what he wants…UH-OH…Roman threatens Jey with making Sami a full-on “Uce” & changing his name to “Sami Uso”…no one can keep a straight face & Paul Heyman has to interrupt & save the segment by sending it to commercial…

*Viking Raiders vignette…Valhalla Awaits!

(2)  New Day def. Maximum Male Models…Midnight Hour on Mansoor…Woods covers for the win (03:43).

*Sonya Deville backstage with Kayla…again she talks smack about Liv…again Liv Morgan attacks & referees have to pull them apart.

*Braun Strowman backstage promo…says Omos may be bigger, but is he stronger?…there’s no  one too big for the Monster of All Monsters.

*Ronda Rousey to the ring…the fans are lucky, she’s in the mood to defend her title tonight…Emma makes her WWE return to accept the open challenge (I really wish the reaction was better for Tenille).

(3)  Ronda Rousey def. Emma…retains her SmackDown Women’s Championship…in a match with ZERO chemistry, Ronda rakes the eyes…hits Piper’s Pit…applies the Armbar for the submission win (06:51).

*Jey Uso is looking to make his case to Roman about last week’s mess up, but Paul Heyman stops Jey outside the Bloodline dressing room door…says maybe the message would sound better coming from the Wise Man.

*Ronda Rousey runs into Shayna Baszler backstage, gets congrats…Natalya interrupts, says Ronda is lucky she didn’t answer that challenge…Shayna chokes out Natty.

(4)  Hit Row & Shinsuke Nakamura def. Legado Del Fantasma…they brawl before the bell…B-Fab hits Zelina Vega with a pump kick, knocking her to the floor as we go to break…Nakamura hits Del Toro with the Kinshasa for the win (>04:21…match began during commercial).

*Paul Heyman begs Roman Reigns to watch some Logan Paul sparring footage…Heyman heard a rumor in Synagogue that Logan broke his hand & has steel pins in it…that’s the hand he throws the “knockout punch” with…Roman couldn’t care less…but clearly Heyman is worried.

*LA Knight backstage with Kayla…Ricochet interrupts, says Knight shouldn’t act so arrogant…like he’s God’s gift to SmackDown…Knight walks away, he is God’s gift to SmackDown.

(5)  Karrion Kross def. Madcap Moss…Kross with the Saito Suplex, follows with Down the Rabbit Hole (Forearm Smash to the back of the skull) for the win (09:36)…AFTER…Kross locks on the Straightjacket…Scarlett hands him a mic & Kross tells Drew McIntyre that Moss put up a better fight than Drew…and that history will repeat itself at Crown Jewel.

*Rey Mysterio backstage with Kayla…Ludwig Kaiser & Giovanni Vinci attack & hold Rey in place for Gunther to drop Rey with a nasty chop.

*Bray Wyatt to the ring…no mask, no smoke & mirrors…it’s just him now & it’s the best version of him…LIGHT OUT…another cryptic message from the ‘tron…this is obviously Bray in a mask meant to make him look older…the message ends with the line, ”You’ll never be able to hide from me…your Uncle Howdy.”
