WWE Friday Night Smackdown Results:
– Jeff Hardy opened the show talking about last week’s incident, and how he’s doubted himself but knows he didn’t slip. Eyewitnesses said they saw a man with “red hair and red beard” run away from the accident, which is why he returned to fight Sheamus. Sheamus interrupted, calling Jeff a junkie and insulting his family until Jeff attacked him. Sheamus hit a Brogue Kick and tossed Hardy into the ringside plexiglass.
– Mandy Rose and Otis lifted King Corbin’s crown. He was very upset.
1. Otis defeated King Corbin by disqualification when Corbin attacked him with a chair. Otis more or less no-sold the attack and hit Corbin with the Caterpillar.
– Throughout the show, Miz and Morrison hid in a van and played pranks on Braun Strowman, including giving him a shaken-up drink and trying to slime him but sliming Kayla Braxton instead. When that didn’t get the desired effect, they broke Braun’s car’s windshield with a bat and a golf club. An enraged Strowman flipped the van on its side.
