Thanks to reader Andrew Halliburton

WWE Main Event —

– Jason Jordan def. Viktor after hitting a T-Bone suplex.

SmackDown —

– WWE Champion AJ Styles opens the show and says James Ellsworth isn’t here. Team SmackDown comes out with Dean Ambrose last. He comes down the ramp before going back up and Ellsworth’s music hits, leading to posturing and passive aggression from Styles.

Shane McMahon comes out, and Ellsworth is announced as Team SD’s mascot. We get a six-man tag scheduled for later with Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Randy Orton vs. Ambrose, Baron Corbin, and Ellsworth.

– Breezango def. The Vaudevillains in less than two minutes.

– Nikki Bella was on commentary for Naomi vs. Natalya. Carmella comes out and distracts Nikki. Natalya comes out to separate them and at the nine count, she dives into ring only to be rolled up by Naomi for the three.

– Corbin tells Shane backstage that he’s not going to be in the six-man tag tonight, so Shane books him vs. Kalisto instead.

– Baron Corbin vs. Kalisto up next. Corbin attacks Kalisto mid-entrance and throws him out of the ring. Coming out of the ring, he slips on the apron and (kayfabe) injured his knee. The match was called off and the referees come down to tend to Corbin. Kalisto is furious and hits the frog splash to Corbin’s legs through the refs.

– Corbin is removed from the SS match for Team SD due to the “injury”.

– Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss up next. This was a strong match with Alexa working the arm for the majority, Becky breaks out of a pin chain and hits the Disarmher for the win.

– Miz is teased as the 5th member of Team SD.

– Cruiserweight Champion Brian Kendrick vs. Kalisto is announced for Survivor Series with a twist. if Kalisto wins, the cruiserweight division moves to SD.

– Curt Hawkins def. Apollo Crews via rollup.

– IC Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz is announced for next week’s 900th SmackDown.

– Kane/Dean Ambrose/James Ellsworth vs. Bray Wyatt/Luke Harper/Randy Orton up last. Lots of teasing of Ellsworth who eventually gets the tag, and lines up Sweet Chin Music but walks into Sister Abigail for the three.

Bray, Orton and Styles surround Ambrose and the fallen Ellsworth, which leads to Shane running in.

Then, Daniel Bryan enters and teases himself as 5th. But, he admits there’s no chance and says “There’s another name at the top of the list here”…Shane. He then asks Shane to be the 5th man, and Shane responds with a “Yes” motion to end the show.
