WWE Smackdown Results returned as Drew McIntyre and Sheamus came to the ring to hear Adam Pearce’s decision about MITB. We feel a rematch or tripe threat next week is coming.
Pearce pointed out they failed to qualify and demanded a shot, and he started running a promo on the MITB history when Drew interrupted him and promised to beat someone tonight.
Sheamus countered by saying if Drew is put in the match it’d be one of the biggest mistakes the WWE could make as he cashed in whereas Drew was cashed on.

Pearce’s decision is Sheamus and Drew are both in. But Sheamus started talking trash and Drew went after Sheamus and clotheslined him to the floor. Sheamus reentered the ring and ran into a Claymore.
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match – Raquel Rodriguez vs. Shayna Baszler
Lacey Evans joined the commentary team for this match, and we’re curious if she’ll play a hand in the outcome or not.
Raquel drove Baszler into a corner and hit some shoulders and clubbed Baszler down with a pin attempt.

Baszler caught her boot on the apron and hooked her left leg in the ropes and kicked it. She continued to work on Raquel’s leg.
Raquel battled back and hit a choke slam for the win.
Max Dupri refused to send his people to the ring because Pearce isn’t giving him top of the line lighting.

Riddle fought free and they traded blows before Riddle hit a step up kick and went to work with a suplex.
Reigns got his knees up to counter a Floating Bro, but Riddle hit a second attempt, off the top rope this time, for a near pinfall.

Reigns nailed him with a spear off the ropes for the win.
After the match, Heyman handed Reigns a mic and he declared there’s no one left for him to face.
He told them two years ago he’d wreck everyone and leave, but before they leave, he demanded Minneapolis acknowledge him and they somewhat did but with more boos than usual.

As he was leaving the ring Brock Lesnar’s music played and he came out.
The Beast returns!
Reigns had the Usos leave the ring and waited for Lesnar. Lesnar stared him down and offered his hand. Reigns hesitated, and when he went for it Lesnar hit an F-5 and took out the Usos with F-5s to close out the show.
This was a pretty cool ending and it’s great to see Lesnar again, but we suspect it’ll be the same run as the last time. The WWE loves copying and pasting every couple of months.
What do you think? Will this time be different? Let us know in the comments below and thank you for joining WWE Smackdown Results. We had a blast and can’t wait for next week.
See you then!
