SmackDown began with shocking news about Karrion Kross and Scarlett’s car crash. Drew McIntyre then pounced on a dazed Kross and warned him by saying, “This is just the beginning!"
Back in the ring, Kofi Kingston and Sami Zayn kicked off the night. The wrestlers were joined by Xavier Woods and Jey Uso on either side.
Zayn was in command of the match, putting the former WWE champion on the defence. Kingston battled back into the bout, displaying some of his usual tenacity. Right when Kingston seemed to be on his way to a rollup victory, Uso interfered and turned it in favour of Zayn. The El Generico then picked up the tainted victory.

Singles Match: LA Knight vs Mansoor
The disintegration of Maximum Male Models continued when LA Knight sent former client Mansoor down after connecting the BFT. After the bout, Mace attempted to exact revenge on his mate but was outmatched by Knight, who sent him crashing into the side rails.

Six-Woman Tag Team Match: Damage CTRL vs Shotzi, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez
Roxanne Perez teamed up with Raquel Rodriguez and Shotzi to battle against the Damage CTRL. During the intense action, IYO SKY leapt over the top rope with a moonsault to save her partner just as Rodriguez was about to crash Kai onto the mat outside with a Tejana Bomb. Shotzi, not to be outdone, flew onto the three competitors as well, leaving all four on the outside. A tremendous match between Perez and Bayley culminated with Bayley securing the pinfall for the victory.
Tag Team Battle: Legado Del Fantasma vs Hit Row
Ashante from Hit Row was in tag team action on Friday night. The Adonis and Top Dolla sought vengeance against Legado Del Fantasma’s Cruz del Toro and Joaquin Wilde. Santos Escobar and Zelina Vega accompanied the heels, while Hit Row was accompanied by B-Fab.

The winner of the Fatal 4-Way match pitting Sheamus, Ricochet, The Bloodline’s Solo Sikoa, and Rey Mysterio would get a shot at Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship.
Originally it was Karrion Kross who was set to fight, but due to the events at the start of the show, he was substituted by future Hall of Famer Mysterio. The action was continuous, with Sheamus teasing a battle with Sikoa only to have Ricochet wipe him out at ringside. Sikoa recovered and stood tall.
The Celtic Warrior was about to tap out when Jey Uso and Sami Zayn intervened. Butch and Ridge Holland entered the fight, allowing Mysterio and Ricochet to finish it. The Master of the 619 performed his signature move and then added a frog splash to secure the victory and a shot at the Intercontinental Championship.
