WWE Smackdown Results returned as a tribute to Superstar Billy Graham after he passes away a few days ago. He was one of the pioneers in the business and he influenced some of the greats like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, and Jesse Ventura.
Asuka vs. Zelina Vega
Vega went for a couple of quick pin attempts that surprised Asuka initially, and she ducked to the floor for a breather and caught Vega with a superkick and slammed her onto the announce desk when she followed her out.

Vega set Asuka up and hit a 610, and then hit a meteora for a near pinfall.
After a valiant effort, Vega submitted to the Asuka lock. Asuka refused to let her go and Bianca Belair ran out to make the save and Asuka took off.
Belair caught Asuka trying to sneak back into the ring and Asuka just missed getting her with her mist again.
The Grayson Waller Effect
To kick off his new show, Waller brought out AJ Styles as his first guest.
Waller recounted Styles going to NXT and telling him to try to be phenomenal for twenty plus years and Waller admitted he was right and he’s a first ballot hall of famer.
He asked what Styles’ thoughts are on facing Seth Rollins.

Styles said when he was hurt it was the longest he’d been out of the ring in his career and he trained harder than everyone else.
He wants the World Heavyweight Championship more than breathing and he gave Rollins props for getting ready, but he is.
Waller said he’s looking forward to the match more than others and his favorite part will be then Seth Rollins is crowned the new champion.
A stare down and jawing commenced but that’s it.
The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins, Montez Ford) vs. LA Knight and Rick Boogs
Ford started it off against Boogs and tried to hit a couple of clotheslines, and was then caught attempting a crossbody. Boogs powered him up and press pumped him several times before setting him back on his feet.

Dawkins tagged in to try his hand at it and Boogs dropped him with a shoulder tackle, then deadlifted Dawkins up and curled him several times.
Boogs and Knight hit a double shoulder tackle on Dawkins, and Knight body slammed him and hit an elbow for a near pinfall.
Ford came in and sent Knight to the floor, then sidestepped Boogs so Boogs could knock him off the apron and Dawkins hit a Sky High on Boogs, followed by Ford’s From the Heavens for the win.
After the match, Knight helped Boogs up and hit a BFT before leaving him in the ring.
