Submitted by Dan Short from Tuesday’s SmackDown in San Diego, CA:
– Dark Match:
Curt Hawkins def. Chase Silver
Silver wasn’t announced, but some knew who he was as they heckled him for being squashed by Braun Strowman the other night. This was a squash that Hawkins won after hitting a lariat.
– After SmackDown went off-air:
John Cena def. WWE Champion AJ Styles in a non-title match
Styles attacked Cena after Dean Ambrose left. Cena demanded they start a match right then and there. The advertisement dark main event was supposed to be a six-man tag of Cena, Ambrose, and Randy Orton against Styles, The Miz, and Bray Wyatt.
This was a quick five-minute match where Styles was dominant until the end when Cena got a surprise pin. They tried to play it off like it was a title change until Styles demanded the ring announcer note that this was a non-title match. Styles tried to sneak attack Cena with the belt, but was instead met with the AA.
They announced that the new dark main event was Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt before switching gears to the Main Event TV tapings.
– WWE Main Event
Naomi def. Natalya
Nice, competitve match. Natalya had control through most of the match and seemed to be setting up for something when Naomi got the win following a leg sweep.
Smackdown Tag Team Champions Heath Slater and Rhyno def. The Ascension
Not too bad of a match. The finish was each guy hitting big moves before Rhyno took out Viktor with the gore for the win.
– Dark Match:
Randy Orton def. Bray Wyatt
It seemed like they were look to build to a long, competitve match, but this only went about ten minutes. Orton won when he was finally able to connect with the RKO after a number of tries throughout.
