WWE Friday Night SmackDown continues. Miz and Morrison with a promo backstage saying hey hey, ho ho, the Universal Champ needs to go and they put on a dramatic music video about it, but before it even gets going, Braun Strowman’s entrance cuts them off. I guess WWE’s production truck just suddenly decided against it at the last minute. He emerges for the main event, which sees him team with Heavy Machinery against Dolph Ziggler, John Morrison and the Miz. We also see another Matt Riddle vignette, though it’s largely identical to what we’ve already seen.
Braun Strowman & Heavy Machinery vs. Dolph Ziggler, John Morrison & The Miz
Dolph and Otis start out, but Ziggler swiftly ducks to the outside, much to Miz’s chagrin. He forces him to enter the ring and Otis just flips him over the top and to the mat. Big bodyslam, tag to Tucker Knight. Stereo Diving Headbutts! Tucker with a Junkyard Style headbutt to Ziggler, Morrison tags in! Tucker catches a kick but an enziguri kick gets landed! Morrison lands on his feet off a back body drop, goes for a springboard but Knight gets him with a Belly To Belly out of the air! Ziggler tags in, wants a waistlock, back elbow to the face gets the separation. Tag to Otis! And to Braun as well, Heavy Machinery whip Strowman into Ziggler in the corner! Battering shot to the chest drops Ziggler, tag to Tucker! He powers him up for a Delayed Vertical Suplex. But we see King Corbin on the titantron during this though and he goes over to Mandy Rose, wants to talk about how Otis stole his crown. Dolph escaped the suplex while this was happening but we don’t see much of what’s going on in the ring after this point.
Corbin asks her if it was her idea. She says she was just having some fun. Corbin’s not mad, he understands that she’s fantasizing about being with a man with power, who people respect. She’s fantasizing about being with him. Right as he gets this out, Otis attacks him and has to be pulled off. Commercial break. We come back to return to the ring where Miz and Morrison hit charging kicks on Tucker, followed up by an elbow drop from Ziggler for a 2 count! Chinlock, Tucker fights his way up but Ziggler manages to keep him down.
Ziggler with a handful of hair as he pulls him and drives him into the heel corner, Morrison tags in and batters him in the corner. Leg kick. Otis is still backstage by the way. Roundhouse kick from Morrison, cover for 2. Arm wringer cinched in, Miz tags in, Tucker kicks Morrison and Miz out of the ring but Dolph tags in to also grab his leg – Tucker with an enziguri! Looking for the tag but Miz and Morrison trip Braun to the floor! Flying Chuck off the apron to Strowman, Short DDT from the Miz planting Braun on the floor! Meanwhile Ziggler has Tucker in trouble in the ring. Otis and Mandy Rose emerge though, Otis finally back on the apron. Tucker gets Dolph with a kick to the face, tag to Otis!
He knocks Miz and Morrison off the apron, clothesline and a shoulder tackle to Dolph, big bodyslam to Miz, Pancake to Morrison! Deposits him from the ring. Dolph with a kick to the gut but that just gets him jiggly. Otis with a headbutt, hoists him up and launches him to the floor! Strowman with the Freight TRain spot running through Miz, sending Morrison flying into the plexiglass and he also clips Ziggler before throwing him into the ring. The Caterpillar follows and there’s the match!
Winner: Heavy Machinery & Braun Strowman
Afterwards the faces celebrate and this time there’s no tease of a cash-in.
