Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Results!
Tonight should be a fun one with some good looking matches lined up and the return of Shinsuke Nakamura.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
Early fireworks
Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn opened the show by coming out to chants of “Sami!”
Sami talked about how it’s been two weeks since they made history by having the tag titles as the main event at WrestleMania for the first time in history, and they switched gears to talking about the draft.
While being broken up is a possibility, they’ll still defend the titles as hard as they can.

When Owens said the Usos will want a rematch at some point and talked about pressure, and the Usos came out with Solo Sikoa and called them out about being able to handle pressure.
Sami pointed out they may not know about pressure since the Usos have to report back to their daddy.
Jimmy told him to shut up and claimed they leveled up as well as Solo, and then promised the Usos will win the titles back.
Jey then told Owens he was wrong and he won’t backstab Sami, but Sami will backstabbed him like he did the Bloodline.
Sami praised Jey for being able to lie to himself and called them out for not coming out to just talk, and they circled the ring.
Looks like @WWESoloSikoa wasn't expecting @SuperKingofBros! 💥
After a HEATED war of words between The @WWEUsos and The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions, @SamiZayn and @FightOwensFight, a HUGE BRAWL broke out! #SmackDown! pic.twitter.com/ppp4xrNr7g

As they climbed onto the apron, Riddle came out and attacked Solo and the rest took it to the floor as Solo and Riddle entered the ring.
Riddle ducked a Samoan Spike and hit a couple of flash knees, but when he went for a moonsault the Usos pulled Solo to the floor and they retreated.
Backstage, Adam Pearce instructed a ref to find Solo and Riddle to inform them they’re main eventing tonight.
Xavier Woods vs. LA Knight
They went back and forth early on with holds as they felt each other out.
Woods sent Knight to the floor and his a swanton over the ropes before standing on the announce desk to fire up the fans.
Back in the ring, Knight ducked out to the floor when he saw Woods on the top rope, then caught Woods when he tried a baseball slide and slammed him into the apron a couple of times.
Is this match AWESOME? 🤔
🗣️ YEAH! @RealLAKnight wants nothing more than to defeat @AustinCreedWins here tonight on #SmackDown! pic.twitter.com/aAejYHEqXH

Woods ducked a clothesline and caught Knight with a heel kick to turn the tide, and then hit a fluing forearm off the ropes for a near pinfall.
Woods caught Knight with a double stomp to the back and then a leg drop for a near pinfall, and Knight caught him with a slam to regain control.
An elbow drop followed, and when he rolled Woods up he had a handful of tights so the ref stopped it.
So while Knight was busy with the ref, Woods rolled him up with a handful of tights for the win.
