5 Things SmackDown got right on the episode before Money in the Bank (May 8, 2020)

#2 The Miz’s Skull Crushing Finale

An eight-man tag team match looked to light up SmackDown as The New Day and Lucha House Party joined forces to take on The Miz and John Morrison and The Forgotten Sons. The four teams are set to take on one another in a Fatal 4-Way Match at Money in the Bank for New Day’s SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

Kofi Kingston was isolated by the heels as Miz, Morrison, and The Forgotten Sons worked well together to keep the babyfaces out of the game. However, a hot tag to Gran Metalik allowed the babyfaces to spark a comeback as he was able to wipe out the heels with Lince Dorado.

While the babyfaces took control for a while, Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler were not ready to give up and kept the heels in the match. They wiped out Big E outside the ring with an elevated double stomp and then powerbombed Kingston onto him.

Dorado was left in the middle on his own and even though he dodged a Starship Pain from Morrison, he missed a tag-in from Miz leading to a Skull Crushing Finale.

It’s heartbreaking to see how Lucha House Party is usually put in matches to take the pin even though they make things much more interesting. However, The Miz scoring the victory likely means that he won’t be scoring the pin on Sunday, and we could see more cracks form between him and The Shaman of Sexy.
