Brock Lesnar returned to SmackDown and created chaos with The Bloodline
As Roman Reigns was kicking off SmackDown by demanding that the Madison Square Garden crowd acknowledge him, Brock Lesnar interrupted the festivities! Immediately creating an awkward moment by asking Paul Heyman why he never told The Head of the Table he'd be at SummerSlam, his words caused The Bloodline to leave Heyman alone with The Beast.
Leasar then gave Heyman five seconds to accept his challenge for Reigns' Universal Title. Not getting his answer fast enough, The Beast attempted to F5 his former Advocate. Before he could, Reigns quickly reentered the ring and hit The Conqueror with a Superman Punch. Lesnar swiftly recovered and snatched Roman up for the F5, only to be dropped by The Usos in defense of their cousin. In response, Lesnar took the SmackDown Tag Team Champions to Suplex City.
Big E, The Mysterios, King Nakamura & Rick Boogs proved victorious in a 10-Man Tag Team Match
Prior to Big E, The Mysterios, King Nakamura & Rick Boogs’10-Man Tag Team Match against Sami Zayn, Apollo Crews, Otis, Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode, The Master Strategist introduced Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks in order to give his team the edge in the Madison Square Garden showdown.
But in the final moments of the action, Young got caught interfering, and the official sent him to the backstage area. The distraction that ensued allowed Zayn to suffer a double 619 from The Mysterios and set up Big E to finish him off with the Big Ending.
Becky Lynch went off on the WWE Universe during WWE Extreme Rules Contract Signing
The Man showed great disdain during the WWE Extreme Rules Contact Signing, not only making light of a challenge from former titleholder Bianca Belair seconds after The EST of WWE signed the contract, but also telling off the WWE Universe for choosing the flash in the pan over her after she left her baby at home to return to SmackDown. She then signed the control and threw it in Belair's lap.
Seth Rollins def. Edge
In a highly personal showdown filled with emotion from start to finish between Edge and Seth Rollins, The Visionary of Drip took advantage of the official's back being turned and hit a low blow on The Rated-R Superstar. In a heart-braking moment, Edge stared at his opponent as if he knew what was coming. Following a series of subsequent devastating kicks, Rollins hit a savage Stomp to the back of Edge's historically injured neck. The maneuver left The Rated-R Superstar motionless as a clearly shaken Rollins picked up the victory.
In the aftermath, Edge was carried out in a stretcher and taken away in an ambulance as Rollins was left completely in shock over what had just transpired.
The Street Profits def. The Usos by Disqualification in a SmackDown Tag Team Title Match
After The Usos got themselves disqualified one week ago against The Street Profits, Universal Champion Roman Reigns emerged in their rematch to stop his cousins from getting beat by locking Montez Ford in the Guillotine to put an end to the match in controversial fashion.
In the aftermath, Reigns announced he would accept Brock Lesnar's challenge to a showdown after he defeated Finn Bálor at WWE Extreme Rules. The Bloodline’s celebration was cut short, however, with the shocking reemergence of “The Demon” Finn Bálor, who entered the ring and stood face to face with the Universal Champion as SmackDown went off the air.
Brock Lesnar returns to SmackDown
After shocking Universal Champion Roman Reigns and the entire WWE Universe with his reemergence at SummerSlam, Brock Lesnar made a surprise phone call to his onetime advocate, Paul Heyman, in order to pass on a message: Lesnar will see The Head of the Table on the blue brand when SmackDown returns to Madison Square Garden!

Street Profits want the smoke from the SmackDown Tag Team Champions
The Street Profits want the smoke, and they will get it from the SmackDown Tag Team Champions at Madison Square Garden.
The Usos have seen a lot of Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford as of late, starting when The Bloodline initiated an attack on Finn Bálor during the SmackDown after SummerSlam. The Profits were quick to rush to the aid of The Prince and even the odds against Roman Reigns and the champions, leading to a tag team showdown the following week. After some intensely competitive action, The Usos managed to get themselves disqualified, but the Profits were not going to let it end that way, as Ford took to the skies to wipe out both brothers and make a major statement.
All signs now point to Madison Square Garden! Can The Street Profits cause a rift in The Bloodline and unseat The Usos in what is sure to be a heated SmackDown Tag Team Champions rematch? Find out as the blue brand returns to The Word's Most Famous Arena, this Friday at 8/7 C on FOX.
