#3 The Mysterios help Murphy defeat King Corbin on WWE SmackDown
After not having to compete against Otis earlier in the night, King Corbin caught up with the Mysterio family on WWE SmackDown and made fun of them for believing in Murphy. Corbin also questioned Dominik Mysterio’s ability in the ring, which led to a match between Corbin and Murphy later in the show.
While the action kicked off pretty normally, The Mysterio family decided to help The Juggernaut in the contest. Dominik, Rey, and Aalyah played major roles in distracting The King and forcing him to pull off some attacks.

Corbin caught Murphy with the Deep Six, but Mysterio distracted the referee, something that helped Murphy recover. A distraction from Dominik allowed Murphy to hit the Bicycle Kick, following which he pinned up for the victory as the referee did not see Dominik knock Corbin’s leg off the rope.
Corbin demanded a rematch for next week's SmackDown, promising that he’d do more damage to Murphy.
This wasn’t a great match by any means, but it helped progress the story between Murphy and The Mysterios. It seems like Murphy has won the entire family’s hearts in a very short time, and they are ready to help him out in any situation. While Murphy and The Mysterios looked like the heels on this week’s SmackDown, it will be interesting to see what they can do next week when Corbin comes more prepared.
