The action was far from over after this week's episode of WWE SmackDown went off the air.
This week's show was the WWE Night of Champions fallout episode of the blue brand, and saw Roman Reigns be awarded a new Undisputed WWE Universal Championship title belt. The show also saw LA Knight qualify for the Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match, while Zelina Vega bested Lacey Evans to take the first spot in the Women's Ladder match.
This week's SmackDown saw Roman Reigns sick Solo Sikoa on Jimmy Uso, payback for what Jimmy did to the Tribal Chief at Night of Champions. As The Tribal Chief exited the arena, flanked by Sikoa and Paul Heyman, he told his special counsel that Jey will fall in line, just like he always did.
After SmackDown went off the air, the crowd in the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania was treated to a special dark match featuring two Superstars from Monday Night Raw. In the post-show dark match, the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes defeated The Miz. After the match, Rhodes thanked the fans for their support.
Cody has been preoccupied as of late with Brock Lesnar, who turned on him during the post-WrestleMania 39 episode of Raw. Rhodes defeated Lesnar at Backlash but lost to the Beast Incarnate at WWE Night of Champions. Despite Cody suffering a 'broken arm' at the hands of Lesnar, there was little sign of the injury during his match with The Miz. A rematch between Rhodes and Lesnar is expected for later this year.
