As Seth Rollins was in full control, the lights went out to bring out The Fiend to the ring. This time around, he appeared underneath the ring through a hole to apply the Mandible Claw on the champion and dragged him through it. The shocking display continued for sometimes before The Fiend disappeared through the ramp. By the looks of it, Rollins and Wyatt would continue their feud over the title.

“Seth Rollins (representing Raw) faces Roman Reigns (representing SmackDown) in the opening match of this week’s WWE Draft episode of Friday Night SmackDown on FOX, and the victorious Superstar will earn the first overall pick for the corresponding brand.

The finish of the opening SmackDown match might have not satisfied some of the WWE Universe members but surely benefitted Raw. Seth Rollins eventually picked up the win via DQ to earn the first overall pick on behalf of Raw. The coincidence was that his girlfriend Becky Lynch appeared to be the pick by the flagship show.
