WWE Smackdown Results returned in time for this match to get started and it should be a good one.
They exchanged holds early on before Nikki hit a pair of basement dropkicks, and then she ate a knee and Natalya took over and ran her from one corner to the other before stomping her down.
Natalya hit a snap suplex for a pin attempt and then went to work on Nikki in the corner.
Nikki started to get the upper hand and Tamina tried to distract the ref but Ripley pulled her off the apron.

Natalya rolled her up but Nikki reversed it for the win.
Shotzi and Nox came out in their tank and fired a shot, literally, to send their message.
Backstage, Dominik and Rey has a slight fight, and after Rey walked off to give him some space Sami Zayn approached Dominik and told him he’s gotten better each time they were in the ring.
Zayn told him Rey means well and is a good man, but he thinks he should listen to him less and trust his instincts more.
Naomi’s demands
Did @SonyaDevilleWWE go too far? @NaomiWWE #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/Z8gDO421T4

Naomi came to the ring and said Sonya Deville has refused to put her in a match. She’s been fined and disrespected and she wants a match now and challenged anyone in the back to come out.
Deville came out and told her it’s not going to happen since she makes the matches. Naomi asked her to make a match between them, and Deville said she’d slap the glow off her face but she’s her boss.
Naomi got a chant “make the match” going and Deville had her audio cut and called out security.
She blamed Naomi for dropping the ball so she should blame herself while the announcers called it an abuse of power.
Roman Reigns w/Paul Heyman vs. Montez Ford
They locked up and Ford slapped on a side headlock that Reigns powered out of and locked in one of his own and nailed a shoulder block off the ropes before eating two dropkicks to send Reigns to the floor as we head to commercial.
Acknowledge him.

After the match, Heyman counseled Reigns to show Finn Balor and Brock Lesnar what happens when Roman Reigns takes it to the extreme and had the Usos come out.
Reigns gave directions and they got Reigns a chair and he wore it out of Ford. The Usos set up a table for Reigns and he choke slammed him through the table on the floor.
The lights went out and Finn Balor appeared on the ring post as the Demon and he took them out with a crossbody and grabbed a kendo stick and beat them al before Reigns threw him into the ring and grabbed a chair.
The Demon hit a sling blade and wore the chair out on him and the Bloodline, then hit a flip over the ropes on Reigns on the floor.
This was a great setup for Extreme Rules and a pretty good show overall. What did you think of it?
