- Kevin Owens defeats Rey Mysterio

Best Match
Plenty to enjoy. I would say the show started OK and ended with the best. Which, yes, means Stratton versus Bayley was the best on SmackDown.
Worst Match
Keeping with what I said above. Started good and got progressively better, but that kind of means the opening tag match was good, but the least good of all the matches tonight.
Noteworthy Moments
Naomi and Bianca will head to Atlanta at the end of the month to defend the titles against Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend.
Nick Aldis is going to have KO and Cody Rhodes relinquish the belts ahead of the Rumble at next week’s SNME. The segment will be moderated by Shawn Michaels.
Also, I enjoyed the memorial piece for Bob Uecker. Rest in peace to the WWE Hall of Famer.
Holy S!@# Moments
Solo had a rough night, but it brought Jacob Fatu, of all people, to work the mic. That then got us LA Knight and Braun Strowman involved. Guessing Knight is waiting for something, and he and Strowman get to keep the Bloodline warm.
Lowlights
I am old, it’s been a long week, and in spite of what I’d heard, SmackDown remains three hours.
Highlights
It was a good three hours. Plenty of action, some of it very good action. Plus, things to set up next week’s SmackDown as well as next Saturday’s big SNME.

After The Final Bell
Nothing stunning, not as notable as RAW with a Penta debut. But still, a strong SmackDown all around, and that’s a good thing.
