WWE SmackDown live from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan as Michael Cole welcomes us. He’s joined at ringside by Pat McAfee as fans cheer them on.
Ricochet vs Happy Baron Corbin
First, we see “Ricochet” enter to a pop as Samantha Irvin does the introductions. Next comes “Happy Baron Corbin” and Pyro goes off. His elbow is braced up as Team Cole shows us a recently made pre-recorded video from today where “Baron” says he will take shots at “Ricochet” and believes there’s no way this ‘little punk’ can win against him.
The bell rings and Corbin charges but misses. Ricochet comes back to send him flying and keeps control over him in the ring. They bring it back in as Ricochet dropkicks Corbin, then takes his knee
s out but gets sent to the apron by Corbin as he charges in the corner.
Result: Ricochet wins
Second Chance Fatal 4 Way match
Tonight’s next four-on-four match is a Second Chance Fatal 4 Way, with Shotzi coming out. After that, Xia Li comes out and the winners will face Raquel Rodriguez and Aliyah next week. We go back to the commercial with the title belts at ringside.
After the commercial break, Natalya and Sonya Deville come out as Cole shows us updated tournament brackets. Nikki and Doudrop are waiting in their corner with Tamina and Dana Brooke still waiting. Deville goes on offence first. Natalya is super kicked out of nowhere by Snuka to start, who then proceeds to do a senton on her, sending her across to the apron as she goes for the pin herself. Dewdrop breaks it up at one point but Nikki gains control quickly before going at it with Li.
Result: Sonya Deville and Natalya wins
