Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Results!
This looks like it’s going to be a fun show as John Cena returns as a guest on the Waller Effect and there are some good matches lined up.
Without further ado, let’s get to the action!
Pat McAfee came out to start the show by saying he was just covering college football and decided to stop by when he saw the WWE was there as well.
Austin Theory came out and wasted no time in mocking the fans and McAfee for not matching his career exploits when he was 26 and said it’s not Smackdown but Austin Theory Live. He then said they have unfinished business.
THE MOST ELECTRIFYING MOVE IN ALL OF ENTERTAINMENT

They traded insults until McAfee told him his lack of respect to the people and the show, and this is the People’s show and asked if he knows what that means and the Rock came out to a huge pop and he soaked it up as he headed to the ring.
The Rock quickly silenced Theory, then handed McAfee his mic while he threw his jacket into the crowd to do his usual intro promo.
Theory told him he’s the real Austin and then interrupted the Rock by telling him it doesn’t matter, and the Rock lectured him and got the fans involved.
The Rock got the fans to chant “You are a —-” and it was bleeped out. The bleeping quickly got annoying as if cut for a couple of minutes.
Theory got lectured about how he’s going to get his Candy a—whipped for running down the fans, and Theory attacked him.
Rock fought him off and hit a spinebuster and then a People’s Elbow as he blew the roof off.
McAfee then did his impersonation of the People’s Elbow.
Finn Balor w/The Judgement Day (Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio) vs. AJ Styles
Styles started fast by taking it to Balor, but Balor turned it around with a basement dropkick after rolling through a sunset flip. Styles fought free and hit a dropkick and backbreaker to send Balor to the floor to regroup.

Styles kept pressing and hit a clothesline, but Dom distracted the ref so Balor could rake his eyes. Style managed to face plant Balor to stay in control.
Balor fought out of a Styles Clash, so Style kept hold of him to hit a shoulder breaker and then hit a forearm over the top ropes when Balor went to the floor.
Styles clotheslines Dom when he went for him, and the ref booted them from ringside when Priest grabbed Styles foot to stop ad Phenomenal Forearm.
Jimmy Uso came out of the audience and distracted Styles for Balor to roll him up for the win.
