Friday Rasslin

WWE Smackdown

-Commentators:  Corey Graves & Wade Barrett.
-C.M. Punk addressed his hometown Chicago crowd to kick off the show, but was warned by Paul Heyman to leave the building before the Bloodline made an example out of him.  "The Street Champ" Solo Sikoa & The Guerrillas Of Destiny(Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa) came out to confront him, but WWE Champion "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes arrived with baseball bats to back up Punk.
-Money In The Bank Qualifier:  Chelsea Green-Cardona won a triple threat match with "The E.S.T." Bianca Belair and "Michin" MIa Yim when Chelsea stole the pin on Yim after Bianca hit Yim with the Kiss Of Death(torture-rack sitout faceplant).
-C.M. Punk was laid out backstage by Drew McIntyre, who dumped Punk unceremoniously in the entranceway and got into a shoving match with Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis before leaving the building.
-Money In The Bank Qualifier:  Carmelo Hayes won a triple threat match with Tama Tonga and Randy Orton when he rolled up Orton after a distraction by Tonga Loa.
-Money In The Bank Qualifier:  Andrade El Idolo won a triple threat match with Kevin Owens and Grayson Waller; Owens was attacked by the Bloodline trio before the opening bell.  Andrade pinned Waller for the win after the Message(spinning double-underhook brainbuster).
-WWE Champion "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes vs. "The Street Champ" Solo Sikoa(w/ Paul Heyman)(non-title) ended in a no-contest when Tama Tonga & Tonga Loa attacked Cody, which brought out Randy Orton & Kevin Owens as backup.  However, Jacob Fatu made his WWE debut by destroying all three fan favorites and aligning with the new Bloodline.
-Note on Raw:  Ilja Dragunov had been announced as replacing Chad Gable in his MITB Qualifier, but it was announced tonight that Gable had been surprisingly cleared to compete after the attack by the Wyatt Sick6 on Raw and the original match would take place as scheduled.
