Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Results!
This should be a interesting show as Roman Reigns will return to discuss the rules of engagement with Jey Uso, and that should lead to a fun confrontation since it’s most likely a trap.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
After a recap of last week’s episode, Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, and Paul Heyman were shown entering the arena backstage.
United States Championship Invitational – Rey Mysterio vs. Sheamus vs. Cameron Grimes vs. LA Knight
With Austin Theory at ringside, anything’s possible in this match, but we have a feeling Rey will draw his attention the most.
Once the bell rang, Rey and Grimes squared off and Grimes sent him to the floor while Sheamus and Knight went at it and Knight sent him to the floor with a clothesline.
After a brief back and forth, Knight sent Grimes to the floor to hold the ring.

The pairs remained constant as Sheamus and Knight stayed in the ring and exchanged blows with Knight hitting a clothesline for a pin attempt, but Sheamus responded with a rolling senton for a pin attempt.
Grimes and Rey got into the mix and Rey sent Grimes into Knight with a head scissors and sent them to the floor.
Sheamus and Rey teamed up to hit a pair of Ten Beats on Grimes and Knight. After shaking hands, Rey tried to pull Sheamus down, and they traded attempts before Sheamus countered a 619 with an Irish Curse Backbreaker.
After Sheamus took out Rey and Grimes, Knight slammed him onto the apron, then ate a dropkick through the ropes by Rey.
Sheamus put Grimes on Knight and Rey on the top rope and powerbombed the lot.
Rey sent Grimes into Theory’s chair but missed Theory, so Sheamus threw them into opposite barricades so he could focus on Knight.
Knight ate a White Noise for a near pinfall, and Sheamus readied for a Brogue Kick, but Grimes distracted him enough for Knight to catch him for a slam and pin attempt Rey broke up.
Rey hit a 619 on Sheamus and Grimes and followed it with a splash on Grimes but Theory broke up the pin and Escobar came out and chased Theory into the fans.
In the ring, Knight hit an elbow, ate a Brogue Kick, Grimes hit a Cave In on Sheamus, and Rey hit a hurricanrana on Grimes up for the win.
Backstage, Theory went to Adam Pearce and demanded to know why Escobar attacked him and demanded a match against him and Pearce made it for the title and Theory balked.
He just wants him one on one and Pearce agreed.
