The final segment of Smackdown Live was the most impactful one in a show that otherwise was a dull show. Numerous pictures surfaced on the social media suggesting how poor the audience turnout was for the evening. The entire show was meandering along until Shane McMahon arrived at the arena to cheer up the crowd and had the much-anticipated confrontation with Kevin Owens.
The heel one backed off and decided to delay the fight until Hell in a Cell. There were some exciting one-off things stored for the audience, though. We got to learn that the Fashion Files will make its return to Smackdown Live. This is the segment that is loved by the public which has not aired for the past couple of weeks.

Also, there were two huge dark main events stored for the night once the cameras stopped rolling. Before the start of Smackdown Live, a huge eight-man tag team match took place for the audience present in Glendale, Arizona. All the superstars participating in this event were kept off from the main show.

There was another huge tag team action stored for the fans in attendance as Randy Orton teamed up with Bobby Roode for the first-time ever to lock horns against the team of Rusev and Dolph Ziggler. Orton connected with a second RKO to Ruev on the show to pick up the win via clean pinfall.

The fallouts continued between The Hype Bros members, Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley. During an interview with Gable and Benjamin on the Smackdown Fallout, a quarrel broke out between Ryder and Rawley. The latter one pledged to get onto the same page with his partner but is not likely to get it.
