WWE Friday Night Smackdown Results:

– As mentioned in the intro, the show opened in the middle of a car accident in which it appears a drunken Jeff Hardy has crashed his car into Elias in the Performance Center parking lot and run away on foot. Police find him and take him into custody as Elias is stretchered away.

– Backstage, a group of WWE stars headed up by Adam Pearce argued among themselves about what should happen with the Daniel Bryan vs. Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles vs. Elias semi-finals matches in the Intercontinental Championship tournament.

1. Sheamus won the Intercontinental Championship tournament buy-in battle royal, last eliminating Jey Uso. Sheamus will face Bryan in the tournament semi-finals in the main event.
