Thanks for following along with us for SmackDown, folks! Be sure to come back for NXT TakeOver this Sunday!

Jey Uso defeats AJ Styles
Otis defeats John Morrison
Matt Riddle and LHP defeat Cesaro, Nakamura, and King Corbin
Sami Zayn defeats Jeff Hardy

Hardy sets up for the Swanton, but Zayn blocks. As Hardy struggles to get up, he does so in the corner with the exposed turnbuckle.

As Hardy goes for Whisper in the Wind, Zayn yanks his leg out from under him, causing Hardy to fall face-first on the exposed turnbuckle. Out cold, Hardy would not be able to kick out.

Sami Zayn defeats Jeff Hardy via pinfall.

Hardy kicks out of the Blue Thunder Bomb, and Sami Zayn is struggling to find ways to beat the Charismatic Enigma.

Hardy manages to escape a Blue Thunder Bomb and takes Sami down with a sunset flip for a two and seven-eights count. As Sami kicks out he dumps Hardy in the corner with the exploder suplex.

The Intercontinental Champion tries to whip Jeff Hardy into the exposed turnbuckle, but Jeff fights out of it.

Hardy begins building momentum. The inverted atomic drop, split leg drop/dropkick combo, and body splash all connect for a two-count.

Sami Zayn hits a nasty diving elbow to the base of Jeff Hardy's head but can't get the win. He moves up top but is crotched by Hardy. With that, he's able to bring the Intercontinental Champion down with a top rope superplex.

Back from the break and Sami Zayn has the match in full control. During a seated chin lock, Zayn reminds Hardy that his Intercontinental Title reign was a shame, and Hardy is a fraud.

Zayn is set up for Poetry in Motion on the barricade. As Jeff hits the stairs for the dive, Zayn moves out of the way, sending Hardy crashing into the barricade instead.

At some point, Sami Zayn apparently removed a turnbuckle pad prior to the match. Jeff blocks a toss into it and sends Zayn to the floor for a baseball slide dropkick.

Sami Zayn takes Jeff Hardy to the corner, but the former IC Champion fights out, dropping Zayn with a shoulder block. Zayn goes for a leapfrog, but Jeff Hardy predicts it, hitting a dropkick to the gut in mid-air.

Sami Zayn's ribs are taped up, and Jeff Hardy's still holding his midsection, clearly in pain. Neither one of these guys are near 100%

Sasha Banks is in the ring and reveals that she'll be facing Bayley next week for the SmackDown Women's Championship.

The mystery woman we've seen over the past month is none other than Carmella, who is no longer calling herself the Princess of Statin Island. She blames the WWE Universe for her failures...despite being the first-ever Miss MITB and a former SmackDown Women's Champion.

Kalisto accidentally blasts his own tag team partner Lince Dorado with an enziguri, but he wasn't the legal man so no biggie. Matt Riddle rocks Cesaro with the Final Flash before hitting the BroDerek.

Matt Riddle defeats Cesaro via pinfall.

After the match, Riddle celebrates with Kalisto before Dorado comes in to spoil the fun. Will the LHP break up next week during the draft?

Corbin ducks a PK, rolls away from a standing moonsault but is hit with the Broton and a second PK. Nakamura breaks up the pin but is taken out by the Golden Rewind from the Golden Lynx Lince Dorado.

Gran Metalik counters the inverted exploder with a tilt-a-whirl DDT. Matt Riddle and King Corbin tag in, with the Original Bro lighting up the King.

Back from the break and Gran Metalik is in trouble, having taken some serious damage from the SmackDown Tag Team Champions.

Otis will represent himself in Money in the Bank briefcase lawsuit

Lince Dorado starts things off with Shinsuke Nakamura. Just as Dorado takes things over, Kalisto comes down to the ring, upset that his friends "forgot" him.

Where's Kalisto? According to Lince Dorado, Kalisto's head is now too big for his mask and won't be making it to ringside.

Which one of them is the heel?

Matt Riddle bro's out with his new bros backstage, and wants to take the opportunity to wrestle with his new bros before either of them bro off to the other roster.

Get that?

King Corbin is out next for a six-man tag team match. Corbin will team with the SmackDown Tag Team Champions to take on Matt Riddle and The Lucha House Party, represented by Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik.

As The Fiend finishes Owens, he turns around to see Alexa Bliss staring into his soul. Does The Fiend actually have a soul?

Bliss takes his hand and flashes a wicked smile to the camera before they disappear.

Owens knows what's coming, and when Bliss says "Let Him In" he stands up ready for a fight. However, the lights go out, and when they come back up, red, The Fiend has the Mandible Claw on Kevin Owens.

Owens feels that if he understands what's happened to Alexa Bliss, he'll hopefully understand what happened to Aleister Black.

Bliss asks if Owens has ever been around The Fiend. Your spine goes cold, your body numb. When he looks into your eyes, you're unable to get away. Owens claims that Bliss is brainwashed. Bliss admits it but claims its more of a cleansing than anything else.

Owens claims that the anger and frustration he sees in Alexa Bliss is something he also sees in Aleister Black on RAW. The Alexa Bliss he sees in front of him is not the one he used to know back at the Performance Center.

Bliss asks if Kevin wants to change and become better. Owens states that he does, which may end up letting The Fiend in.

Kevin Owens states that after the WWE Draft, he could be making SmackDown his new home. When WWE offered him the opportunity to come here to host the KO Show, he jumped at the opportunity. HE has a lot of questions for his guest tonight, the Goddess Alexa Bliss.

We missed you on the blue brand, @FightOwensFight!

Kevin Owens is backstage getting ready for the SmackDown official KO Show with Alexa Bliss. Behind him, a screen flashes, erasing the SmackDown logo for the Firefly Fun House one instead.

Next up is Sheamus and Chad Gable, and the former Olympic Athlete catches Sheamus bouncing off the turnbuckle with a German suplex. Sheamus kicks out and avoids a moonsault, responding with a huge Brogue Kick.

A second Brogue Kick ends the night for Gable.

Sheamus defeats Chad Gable via pinfall.

An exploder suplex and big splash drop the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion for the Caterpillar. Otis follows up with the Vader Bomb, absolutely squashing Morrison in more ways than one.

Otis defeats John Morrison via pinfall.
