Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Results!
Tonight should be a fun one as it’s not just Backlash’s Go Home episode, but it’s also coming to us from Puerto Rico where some of the greats got their start.
Let’s get to the action!
Rey and Dom get a match
Rey Mysterio and the LWO came out to get the show started and shortly afterwards the Judgement Day came out to a chorus of boos.
On their way to the ring, Dom took a fan’s LWO shirt and tore it in half before kicking it along the floor.
He just sucker punched his own FATHER! 👊

Rey and Dom traded barbs in Spanish, but it sounded more along the lines of their usual banter and then Rey challenged Dom to a WrestleMania rematch.
Ripley challenged Rey instead, and Vega stepped between them, and Dom offered a mixed tag match for later on tonight and Rey accepted.
Dom cheap shotted Rey and they took off.
The OC (Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows) w/AJ Styles and Michin vs. The Viking Raiders (Erick, Ivar) w/Valhalla
Styles joined the commentary team and Ivar and Anderson started it off, and Erick tagged in to hammer away on Anderson before Anderson reversed out or the corner and hit a dropkick on Erick’s knee.
HOW IS THE ROOF STILL ATTACHED? This crowd is AMPED UP! 🔥👏

Gallows came in and helped turn the tide for Anderson to go for a pin attempt on Ivar.
Gallows unloaded on Erick with rights and a shoulder tackle, but Erick fought back and tagged in Ivar, and Gallows caught him with a power bomb for a near pinfall.
The OC closed it out with a Magic Killer on Ivar.
Damage CTRL
Bianca Belair came out next to further set up her match against IYO SKY.
Belair is hyped to defend the title in Puerto Rico, and the Smackdown has a special place in her heart since she won her first title there.
She talked about SKY being unpredictable, but she’s faced the best of the best and has proven she’ll always show up and show out.
Damage CTRL came out and Bayley pointed out she made Belair in Smackdown, and SKY will win the new women’s champion and she and Kai will become the tag team champions.

They circled the ring and she took down Bayley and Kai, then faced off with SKY.
They shoved Belair into Sky, and Belair ate a missile dropkick and the rest beat her down until Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriquez came out to make the save and held the ring.
