WWE News: What Happened Once Smackdown Went Off The Air, May 23, 2017 1

Last night’s Smackdown witnessed a mega tag team match in the main event of the show.

For the first-time ever in the WWE, two in-ring veterans teamed up together. It was a treat for the fans to witness AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura taking on the team of Dolph Ziggler and Kevin Owens.

The babyface team picked up the win after Nakamura connected with the Kinshasa. The main show ended with Styles and Nakamura celebrating the win, together. They had a brief face-off in the middle of the ring afterwards to hint the dream feud that they will certainly get at a certain point of time.

Once they headed towards backstage, a huge ten man tag team match did take place as a part of the dark match for the fans in attendance. It was American Alpha, Tye Dillinger, Mojo Rawley and Luke Harper teaming up together against The Colons, The Ascension and Aiden English. The former team picked up the win, quite convincingly.

Plus, a weird vignette appeared on screen which witnessed Eric Rowan wearing the Ship mask and signalling for something upcoming. It is to be noted that the creative might be planning to team him with the Ascension to give all of them a major push. It might be a hint of the same.

Baron Corbin was spotted on the Smackdown fallout show where he boasted about the fact that how beat down Sami Zayn on the show. He pointed out that when someone plays in Corbin’s world the exact same happens.

On the 205 Live, Cedric Alexander returned from an injury. He picked up a win against Johny Boone in a quick matchup. Austin Aries and Neville argued in an interview session en route to their Extreme Rules match.

Plus, Akira Tozawa defeated Bryan Kendrick in a brutal street fight match. Akira delivered a senton on Kendrick through a table to pick up the win.

On the Talking Smack show, The New Day appeared on TV since their hiatus. They might return to the main show of Smackdown starting from next week.

Naomi was the final guest on the show where she signed off by expressing her desire to witness who becomes the number one contender for her championship.
