Thanks for joining us tonight, folks! We'll see you for RAW!

Uh...Braun slams Corbin with a powerslam, and Matt Riddle is invited in for the Floating Bro.

Braun is...dear God what is Big E doing in the corner?

The New Day invites Strowman into the ring, and the Universal Champion is happy to oblige.

Corbin immediately attacks Hardy after the match. He lays out Kofi who tries to break it up, but Big E is too much for him, planting him with the Big Ending.

Jeff Hardy defeats King Corbin via pinfall.

Hardy is able to send Corbin into the steel steps. On the inside, the Swanton Bomb connects, giving him a big win over the Kang!

Basement dropkick gives Hardy a two-count. Corbin blocks the Twist of Fate and yanks Hardy off the ring post to stop the Whisper in the wind. A massive Deep Six nearly puts Hardy down for three.

Hardy is able to catch Corbin with the inverted atomic drop and the leg drop to the lower...uh..the..leg region. It's legal.

The rounding clothesline takes Hardy out.

The SmackDown locker room has emptied out in support of Hardy. LHP, Jey Uso, Strowman, New Day, Bliss & Cross, Lacey Evans, Drew Gulak, Dana Brooke, and Matt Riddle.

#UniversalChampion @BraunStrowman lays down a sinister challenge for @WWEBrayWyatt:

Corbin is picking apart Jeff Hardy. Maybe Jeff had his old trusty weapon, a jar of...nevermind.

It's time for the main event. King Corbin vs Jeff Hardy, apparently the man that Taker mentored?

Gotta say, that was probably Strowman's best promo ever. He has a tendency of just yelling out of nowhere and taking away the tension he builds. Didn't do that this time. Good stuff.

Bray's laugh begins to echo through the arena, and Strowman, almost instinctively, starts to laugh as well. This is a new side of Strowman...kind of creepy.

Strowman says that there's a part of him that loves the old Bray Wyatt. It seems to affect Strowman like an old drug habit. "This only ends one of two ways," he says. He either ends up the most evil sadistic SOB this world has ever seen, or he conquers Bray Wyatt at his own home.

It looks like it's a House of Horrors Match.

Strowman reminisces about a time at Bray's swamp where a snake slithered out of it and up to Bray's lantern. Bray called it his friend before letting it bite him in the face. Wyatt laughed as the poison failed to affect him. He didn't even bleed.

Strowman says he knew at that moment that Bray Wyatt was in fact the devil himself.

Strowman says for the first time in a long time, he's feeling fear. The return of the Old Bray Wyatt last week sent a chill down Strowman's spine.

The Universal Champion is here!

LHP & The New Day defeat Miz & Morrison & The Artists Collective via pinfall.

Metalik lands a beautiful springboard elbow drop on Miz for the win.

Dorado's Shooting Star Press also gets a nearfall. Miz drags Morrison to his corner while the New Day and the Artists Collective brawl to the back. Miz is unable to stop the tag from Dorado to Metalik.

Dorado stuns Miz with the Golden Rewind. Morrison gets up on the apron and is launched across the floor with a top rope hurricanrana!!

Metalik nearly pins Morrison with a Yoshi Tonic.

Kofi Kingston sends Nakamura into the mat with a Cave In, leading to both Metalik and Morrison getting in the fray.

Kofi drops Miz with a tornado DDT, earning him an opportunity to tag in Big E. Miz tags in Nakamura and prevents the tag to the big man.

Back from the break, and Miz has Kofi Kingston trapped in the middle of the ring with a headlock.

The Artists Collective tag in, with an uppercut/roundhouse kick combination laying out the former WWE Champion.

Metalik drops Nakamura with a bulldog and brings in Kofi Kingston, who wiffs a Trouble in Paradise. Morrison is in next and rocks Kingston with a nasty kick, sending him to the floor. Nakamura launches him into the plexiglass.

Cesaro and Lince Dorado are next, with Dorado tossing Cesaro across the ring with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Metalik is in next with a great splash from the top, but Cesaro is able to take him to his corner for Nakamura.

Big E squashes The Miz on the apron with a big splash, getting a two-count.

It's time for an 8-man tag team match! New Day vs Lucha House Party vs The Artists Collective vs Miz & Morrison (Hey hey, ho ho)

NIKKI DID IT!

It will be @NikkiCrossWWE vs. @itsBayleyWWE for the #SmackDown Women's Title at #ExtremeRules: The Horror Show! pic.twitter.com/4gF4jjavWZ

There are no allies in this high-stakes Fatal 4-Way Match to determine the next challenger for @itsBayleyWWE's #SmackDown Women’s Title at #ExtremeRules ! pic.twitter.com/Ln24amPeQS

Nikki Cross defeats Lacey Evans via pinfall.

Evans rolls in and is able to take on Bliss-Cross Applesauce in a two-on-one situation. A slingshot elbow takes out Cross. Dana runs in for another handspring back elbow but is rocked with a Women's Right. Before Evans can make the pin, Cross rolls her up for the win. Nikki Cross will challenge Bayley at Extreme Rules, and for Bayley Dos Straps it will definitely be a Horror Show.

Brooke takes Cross down only for Bliss to rock her with a combination and STO leg sweep. The Twisted Bliss is countered, but Dana is knocked out by a dropkick from Cross.

Evans get taken out with a handspring back elbow by Brooke. Brooke follows up with a body slam and a Swanton Bomb. That would've put Evans away, but Cross breaks up the pin.

King @BaronCorbinWWE is not amused. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/8SpBJa9sl4

Evans drags Bliss outside and sends her into the barricade. Brooke and Evans team up to take down Bliss but fight over the pinfall.

The four women take turns rolling each other up. Brooke and Evans take Cross and Bliss into opposite corners. The former Tag Team Champions take over, though, sending Evans and Brooke to the floor.

Cross and Bliss hug, leading to Cross sneaking a roll-up on Bliss. Two-count.
