WWE Smackdown Results returned as Bray Wyatt came out. Once in the ring he sat in a chair in a pool of light and mocked Reigns’ acknowledge him by saying “we’re here” in a deep voice.
He talked about how we sometimes need a nudge to remind us why we are where we are, and last week he got that nudge and he’s the eater of worlds, Uncle Howdy, everything. He. Is. Bray. Wyatt.
He informed LA Knight that when the lights go out he should run.
#BrayWyatt is HIM. 👀

Backstage, Zayn asked Owens if he’s happy for putting him in position to do what he has to do.
Owens pointed out that the Bloodline came to Raw and he got tired of it and said Reigns is using Zayn so he doesn’t have to come to work.
Zayn’s proud to handle business tonight.
Liv Morgan vs. Raquel Rodriguez
Liv went after Raquel several times, but Raquel easily tossed her back and then hit a boot and tossed Liz over the top rope to the floor.
Liv turned it around for a brief run until she ran into a clothesline for a near pinfall. To psych herself up, Liv banged her head on the top turnbuckle, and then clothesline Raquel over the top rope for a faux elimination.

After sending Raquel into the ring steps, she set up a table, put Raquel on it, and headed to the top rope but Raquel rolled off the table and into the ring and hit a Tajana Bomb for the win.
Backstage, Sonya Deville didn’t like being old she had to enter the Rumble to get a rematch, so she jumped Charlotte Flair and Flair dumped her over an equipment case.
Flair kept stopping, but Deville refused to give up.
Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens
Owens offered his hand to start the match and Zayn kicked it away and wanted to get the match started.
After sending Owens to the floor, Zayn hit a moonsault over the top rope and Owens threw him into the barricade and pounded on him before throwing Zayn into the ring and Zayn rolled out the other side.
Zayn caught Owens and hit a brain buster on the apron as we headed to commercial.
After exchanging blows, Zayn hit a Blue Thunder Bomb for a near pinfall and they traded a suplex and clothesline.
While they were in separate corners, the Usos and Solo Sikoa came in and stomped down Owens and hit a 1-D.
THIS IS A FIGHT! 👊@SamiZayn and @FightOwensFight are NOT holding back!

Zayn looked lost despite the Usos urging him to join them and Owens took advantage and dropped the Usos, but Solo and the Usos overpowered him and Solo hit a couple of Samoan Spikes.
The Usos told Zayn he did a good job after he said he had a job to do. Solo leaped off the barricade and put Owens through the announce desk as Zayn watched and they celebrated.
This was a fun show and the ending of this match is showing how unsure Zayn is about being used as he’s starting to see what Owens has been telling him.
