Smackdown witnessed the shocking return of Dolph Ziggler who laid down a challenge for the WWE Championship. Kofi Kingston is not someone who backs down from a challenge and hence we have received the WWE title match at Super ShowDown. The reigning champion will now take on the returning show-off in a fresh title match on the upcoming pay-per-view show.
WWE Smackdown Live Full Results: May 21, 2019
WWE News: Roman Reigns Vs. Shane McMahon Announced For Super ShowDown
Kofi Kingston defeated Sami Zayn in a solo contest on Smackdown after which Dolph Ziggler made his presence felt. He assaulted the champ with a steel chair in hand that needed medical attention from the doctors. Later, the former world champion desired to get the same attention that Kofi has been receiving ever since Wrestlemania. So he claimed to take the WWE Championship away from Kofi and thereby setting up the title match at Super ShowDown.
The New Day was not in full force on Smackdown ever since Wrestlemania 35 passed by due to the absence of Big E. He is the most fun-loving guy of the trio who was out of action with an injury. But he was tremendously active on his social media page who put Kevin Owens on a roast for betraying Kofi Kingston. The replacement with Big o did not work well for The New Day as WWE.com hyped up the return of the original one,
“After spending the past month on the shelf (and Twitter) following knee surgery, Big E is returning to SmackDown LIVE, and The New Day could not be happier! In fact, WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are throwing a celebration you won’t want to miss. What do they have planned to welcome back their friend? Find out when SmackDown LIVE kicks off at 8 ET on USA!”
However, it was another return from Dolph Ziggler which stole the thunder of The New Day. The former world heavyweight champion was not present on the WWE scene ever since December 2018. He was present over on Raw allying with Drew McIntyre for sometimes. We could hardly imagine him to come back all of a sudden and insert himself into the WWE Championship picture, just like that.
