Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Results!
Tonight looks like it’s going to be a fun show with the Intercontinental and Women’s Tag Team Championship on the line as well as Matt Riddle facing Solo Sikoa in a No Disqualification match.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
LWO (Santos Escobar, Rey Mysterio) vs. Judgement Day (Damian Priest, Finn Balor)
Rey and Balor started it off, and Rey was one step ahead as he countered Balor’s moves until he went for a moonsault off the ropes and Balor got his knees up.
Priest tagged in and stomped Rey down and brutalized him with a double team backdrop and leg drop with Balor for a near pinfall.
There's no doubt that @reymysterio and @EscobarWWE move FAST, but @FinnBalor and @ArcherOfInfamy are having no problem keeping up tonight! 💨#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/WuaSARq6qB

Rey fought his way free to tag in Escobar, and he unloaded on Balor and Priest before hitting a tilt the whirl backbreaker on Balor and then sidestepping so Priest’s splash hit Balor.
After Escobar and Priest went to war, Rey and Balor tagged in and Rey took it to him with a sitton and a crossbody for a near pinfall.
Rey set Balor up and hit a 619 and Escobar hit a splash but Balor wasn’t legal as Priest blind tagged in, and after he took out Rey on the floor, Priest ended it with a South of Heaven on Escobar.
After the match, Priest sent his best wishes to Bad Bunny for next week’s Raw that was more ominous warning than not, so we expect another confrontation coming from them.
Ricochet and Braun Strowman vs. The Viking Raiders (Erick, Ivar) w/Valhalla
Strowman and Ivar squared off and Ivar took it to Strowman and hammered away on him in the corner, but Strowman turned it around and threw Ivar into the opposite corner.

They traded shoulder tackles and Strowman knocked Erick off the apron, then traded shots with Ivar.
Erick blind tagged in and he and Ivar double teamed Strowman to drive him to his knees, but Strowman powered out tagged in Ricochet, but their initial double team didn’t work out as planned.
Ricochet still sent the Raiders to the floor and hit a dive over the top rope.
Strowman sent the Raiders to the floor and fired up the Strowman Express and ran over both of them, and when he went to enter the ring Valhalla distracted him and it gave Erick the chance to nail him with several rights and a knee for Ivar to hit a splash off the top rope for a near pinfall.
Strowman and Ricochet went on a run and finished it off with a Ricochet swanton bomb off Strowman’s shoulders for the win.
