WWE Smackdown Results returned as Baron Corbin attacked Cameron Grimes during a backstage interview.
Rey Mysterio came out to the ring and talked about the one accomplishment he’s really proud of and that reforming the LWO and said the person he’s going to introduce is the essence of the LWO and brought out Santos Escobar.
Escobar explained how he worked hard and made a lot of sacrifices for the opportunity of a lifetime when he takes part in the Money in the Bank.
He then told Rey he loves him and he inspires him and is fighting for him and his family and friends and anyone in the WWE Universe that has a dream.
LA Knight came out to interrupt him, and after acting like he was going to shake Rey’s hand he smacked him. Escobar set him up for a 619 but Knight slipped out before Rey could hit it.
Santos Escobar vs. LA Knight
The match was underway when we returned from commercial, and Escobar picked up the pace and ran off a series of moves, including a crossbody off the top rope for a near pinfall.

Knight took a double knee in the corner, but caught Escobar off the ropes with a slam and an elbow for a near pinfall.
Knight tried a rollup and held onto the ropes, but Escobar broke his grip to reverse it for his own rollup win.
After the match, Knight attacked him from behind and Rey came back out before Knight could do more damage.
Decision time
Once in the ring, Reigns demanded to be acknowledged with a mixed response from the crowd and Jey Uso came out.
Jey entered the ring to a loud chant of “Uso!”
"The problem is not your brother, Jey, the problem is our cousin."

Reigns told him he knows what they want, and they want answers. So he asked him if he’s in or is he out.
Jey told Reigns to tell him and laid it out that it’s either Heyman or him, putting Reigns in a difficult spot.
Reigns tried to make it work and said when he’s Tribal Chief he can pick his wise man and Heyman’s his, not the Bloodline’s. He said Jey doesn’t understand that he was meant to get them to the promised land and Jey’s meant to keep them at the top of the mountain.
They’ve been grooming him for three years and it’s why he’s the right hand man and Main Event Jey Uso. He said he’s meant to lead, just not yet.
OH MY GOD 😱😱😱

The problem isn’t the wise man, it’s Jimmy.
Jimmy came out and told Jey the problem isn’t him but Reigns. He pointed out how Reigns is using him and not grooming him.
He asked Jey if he believed Reigns over him, and Reigns took credit for getting them in WrestleMania and having the fans chant his name. He’s the wings and Jimmy is the anchor.
Reigns told him he can’t be a Tribal Chief and a twin at the same time. He said he could put on a mask too, then asked Heyman when they named Jey the right hand man who was the only one to have a problem with it and Heyman nodded at Jimmy.
Reigns pointed out it was Heyman’s suggestion and Jey gave Jimmy a hard look and asked him if that’s true.
Jimmy said it’s true and Jey started pacing and Jey asked him if he’s been doubting him.
Key expected it from them and not Jimmy and he went on a rant about how he was always told to listen to his older brother and has been competing with Jimmy the whole time.
Jey pointed out he became a main eventer because of Reigns and told Jimmy he’s out and so is he and he superkick Reigns.
Solo charged and Jey ducked and Jimmy hit him with a superkick, then they double superkicked Solo while Heyman headed to the floor.
Reigns had a meltdown and then ate a double superkick and they stood tall as the Ones.
This was an awesome twist at the end and we loved it. What did you think about it? Let us know in the comments below and thank you for joining WWE Smackdown Results.
