WWE Smackdown Results tuned back in as they started off with a couple of lock ups, and on the second one Big E pushed Crews over the top rope.
Big E absorbed some good shots, then hit a reverse elbow off the ropes for a pin attempt, and then hit a clothesline for another pin attempt.
Crews fought back on the ring apron and hit a Death Valley Driver as we headed to commercial.
😮😮😮

Returning from the break, they’re back in the ring with Crews in control with a rear chin lock that Big E fought out of, only to run into a dropkick for a near pinfall.

Big E powered out of a hold and hit a trio of belly to belly suplexes, then gyrated over Crews before hitting a Big Splash.
Crews countered a Yurinagi and hit three German suplexes for a near pinfall.
Big E slipped off Crews’ shoulders and rolled him up and picked him up in a stretch muffler submission, but Crews made it to the ropes with some help from Azeez.
Crews headed to the top rope, but Big E caught him with some rights and climbed up but Crews hung up up and hit a step up kick.
Crews then hit a frog splash off the top rope but Big E kicked out, and Crews hit another German suplex for a near pinfall and Big E rolled to the floor.
Azeez inched closer to Big E, and Crews charged in but Big E caught him with a Yurinagi and rolled him into the ring.
Azeez threw Big E into the barricade and went for the Nigerian Nail but the ref caught him and sent him to the back instead of disqualifying him.
Big E then hit a Big Ending for the win and his first MITB Ladder Match.
Guess they didn’t want to give him a weak win.

Backstage, Sami Zayn said after beating Kevin Owens at HIAC he realized that the universe is a machine and he’s the messenger.
When he was informed he’s facing Owens next week in a MITB Qualifying Match, he lost it and said they’re messing with karma and the cosmos and it went form being the best week of his life to the worst.
Zayn went to Adam Pearce’s office and demanded to know why he has to face Owens again and said he should just get the contract.
When Zayn asked why is he doing this to him, Pearce said it’s a Last Man Standing match. Zayn told him he’s playing a dangerous game with karma.
Sonya’s Selection
Sonya Deville came out to reveal her selection for the women’s MITB Ladder Match, and her first choice is Carmella.
Carmella added to being a 2 time MITB winner, she’s the most beautiful woman in the WWE and gave Deville another chance to get it right.
Live Morgan came out and challenged her for being the most beautiful women getting her an opportunity, and pointed out she defeated Carmella last week and deserves it more than her.
Carmella mocked her so Morgan slapped her and Deville got between them and challenged Morgan to prove it by beating Carmella there and then after the commercial break.
WWE Smackdown Results were wondering if we’d see a woman’s qualification match, and here we are.
