The storyline between Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan was a focal point on Smackdown, last night. We also expected big fallouts in the WWE Championship picture heading into Clash of Champions. King of the Ring tournament’s semifinal matchups took place from the blue brand whereas we also saw the newly turned heel Bayley. Here are the results from the show that took place at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.

Stone Cold To Moderate Segment Between Seth Rollins & Braun Strowman
We saw a replay of Bayley turning heel on Raw to open things on the show as the Smackdown women’s champion came out to address the matter. She talked about how Sasha Banks has had her back from day one and always been there for her no matter what. Charlotte Flair interrupted her claiming that she’ll beat Bayley for the title at Clash of Champions. Banks’ music started playing when Flair attacked Bayley. She was in control hammering on the champion when Banks came out to help Bayley. The duo double-teamed on Flair and delivered some chair shots to stand tall.

King of the Ring Quarterfinals Match between Ali and Elias was the opening contest of Smackdown, this week. Elias took control by a suplex on Ali on the ramp and sending him face-first into the corner of the barrier. Ali came back with a big Superkick but missed the 450-splash. Elias gave a knee to the face and followed up with the Drift Away for the win.
WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross was out for a match on Smackdown against Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville. Cross started the match overpowering Rose with a big slam and taking out Deville outside the ring. Rose took back control as the Cross somehow made the tag to Bliss who nailed Deville with a big DDT. Sooner Cross sent Rose into the post to distract her who missed a Twisted Bliss. Deville landed a big knee on Bliss and tagged Rose who made the cover to get the pinfall win.
Smackdown commentators hyped up Randy Orton vs. WWE Champion Kofi Kingston at Clash of Champions as the challenger walked into the show with a mic. He cut a promo on the championship match and called out Kofi. The New Day’s music hit but the champion never came out. The camera focussed at backstage as we saw The Revival attacking Kofi. The fight continued on the ramp as Orton joined the heel duo. A three on one assault followed on Kofi which ended with a Super RKO. The trio stood tall to end the segment.
The second and final King of the Ring Quarterfinal Match took place between Andrade and Chad Gable on Smackdown. Zelina Vega insulted Gable before the match began for his short height. Gable fired back with dropkicks and a ChickenWing Suplex. Andrade came back with a big stomp and tried to deliver Three Amigos Suplex. Gable countered with German Suplexes and rolled up his opponent for the win.
Aleister Black competed next against Shelton Benjamin who took control of the match with a big roundhouse kick. Shelton came back with some furious strikes and a big kick. Black suddenly hit the Black Mass on Shelton to get the big win.
Shinsuke Nakamura appeared on Smackdown to squash a local talent with a Kinshasa. After the match, a bunch of superstars ran out to the ring brawling to gain the 24/7 Championship. R-Truth stood tall by the end to start his 14th reign with the title.
Daniel Bryan came out in the main event segment of Smackdown to state that he has nothing to do with the attack committed by Rowan on Roman Reigns. The victim soon came out only to suffer a blindside attack by Rowan, again. He delivered an Iron Claw slam and hit him with the steel steps. Bryan slapped Rowan into the face to receive another Iron Claw Slam through the announce table. Officials prohibited Rowan from further attack as the show came to an end.
