Well, that's it for SmackDown folks! There are two PPVs this weekend, be sure to follow us here at Sportskeeda for all the news, live results and more!

Styles, belt over his shoulder, walks up to Riddle who's understandably upset. He offers his hand to Riddle, leading to a handshake between the two.

Back from commercial, and Riddle is just demolishing Styles. Knees to the ribs set Riddle up for an armbar attempt, but Styles gets to the ropes. A bridging fisherman suplex gets a two-count.

...
Naomi and Lacey seem evenly matched early on, but a duck of the Women's Right allows Naomi to send Lacey to the apron with a headscissors takedown. An enziguri rocks Lacey. 
...
It's time for Lacey Evans vs Naomi. Now, remember Lacey, the veteran who was part of the first women's match in Saudi Arabia and has spent months defending her daughter against Bayley and Sasha...turned heel because she lost a karaoke contest.

Oh, they don't use the stretcher. THEN WHY BRING OUT THE STRETCHER?!?!?
...
Morrison is so damaged that he has to be taken out of the ring by a stretcher. 
...
After the match, Strowman speaks to Bray Wyatt, reminding him that on Sunday he'll be coming home. What's gonna happen at the Wyatt Swamp Fight? 
...
Braun Strowman defeats John Morrison via pinfall. 
...
A deadlift one-handed chokeslam spikes Morrison. Strowman begins to laugh before locking in his old standing anaconda vice submission. An out cold Morrison gets planted with the powerslam for an easy win for the Universal Champion. 
...
Well, Morrison is launched across the ring and manhandled by Braun Strowman. Of course he is, Strowman looks like a standing Bear. 
...
Strowman rambles on about how if he doesn't destroy Bray on Sunday, the Fiend will emerge and end him. Oddly enough, that's something I alluded to in the article above! 
...
Strowman says that on Sunday, he'll slap the devil himself in the face. Tonight, though? He's slapping that Hollywood smile off Morrison's head. 
...
Speaking of embracing the monster, it's time for John Morrison vs Braun Strowman! 
...
According to Wyatt, Strowman didn't embrace the monster he was destined to be, so he must destroy the one Strowman has become. 

Hasn't embraced the monster? Strowman has embraced the monster all over the WWE roster...take that for what you will. 
...
Much like Hotel California, once you enter this swamp, you can never truly leave. Wyatt knows that deep inside, his monster is just waiting to come home. On Sunday, he'll bring back his lost sheep.
