Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Results!
Tonight looks like it’s going to be a fun one as Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn come face to face with Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, Pretty Deadly makes their main roster debut, and The Grayson Waller Effect premieres.
Let’s get to the action!
Reigns’ plan goes awry
Roman Reigns came out to start the show flanked by Solo Sikoa and Paul Heyman.
The fans welcomed them with “You suck!” chants and Reigns said that’s now how it’s done and demanded they acknowledge him.
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn came out in response and Reigns looked like he developed a headache.
Once they were in the ring, Reigns said it was perfect since he was going to bring them out there, and he demanded they acknowledge him and drop off his titles and leave.
Owens tossed his title aside and stepped forward as Solo did, and Reigns said that figures since Owens just wants to fight and he wants to talk to Zayn instead.
"You can drop off my titles and you can see yourselves out…" @WWERomanReigns isn't playing with the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions @SamiZayn and @FightOwensFight tonight. 😮💨🔥#SmackDown pic.twitter.com/0W18kcE8ph

Out of his career, he’s only had one regret and that’s wasting his life on Zayn.
Zayn responded that he has one regret too, and that he didn’t blast him with that chair sooner. Zayn didn’t think he’d ever get to have Reigns there, but thanks to Reigns’ greed he’s there and he has nothing to say.
He promised Reigns will not get the tag titles at Night of Champions because he’s not as good as Zayn and Owens or even the Usos.
Reigns distracted him by claiming he gave him opportunities as the Usos attacked them from behind and left them laid out on the floor after superkicks.
In the ring, Reigns refused to take Jimmy’s hand shake and he told him he didn’t tell him to come out there. It was a simple plan, but Reigns got frustrated and left them in the ring.
Backstage, Reigns ripped into the Usos because he had something to say and he didn’t get the chance because of them going off the playbook and then he kicked them out of the locker room.
Brawling Brutes (Butch, Ridge Holland) w/Sheamus vs. Pretty Deadly (Elton Prince, Kit Wilson)
Butch and Kit started it out, and after trading moves Elton tagged in and they double teamed Butch. Butch responded by nearly breaking their fingers and hitting a dropkick before tagging in Holland.
Looks like their fingers are PRETTY BROKEN after that one… #PrettyDeadly are battling The #BrawlingBrutes in what's sure to be a pretty brutal match in their #SmackDown debut! 😮💨🔥@KitWilson_PD @EltonPrince_PD @PeteDunneYxB @RidgeWWE pic.twitter.com/RVIYLq9RWu

Kit blind tagged in and caught Holland with a DDT after he ducked a leap frog by Elton.
Holland fought back and dropped Elton, but Kit jumped on his back with a sleeper to prevent him from tagging out but Holland powered through it and Butch took out everyone.
The ref was checking on Butch as Pretty Deadly hit Spilt Milk on Holland for their debut win.
