Several top SmackDown Superstars were recently involved in an entertaining WWE Live Event in Reading, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, and as expected, Roman Reigns closed out the show in a high-profile title match.
The Undisputed WWE Universal Champion defended his title against Drew McIntyre, and the main event thankfully lived up to the attending fans' expectations. Reigns didn't leave the ring after the match as he cut a promo for the crowd before sending them home happy.
The Usos also competed on the show as the SmackDown Tag Team Champions defeated The Viking Raiders in a title contest.
Ricochet began the in-ring proceedings of the live event with a successful Intercontinental Championship defense against Jinder Mahal. Gunther, fka WALTER, showcased his dominance by picking up a straightforward win over Mansoor.
House shows are always great for babyfaces as the heels are often booked to lose. WWE followed its time-tested pattern and had Kofi Kingston and Shinsuke Nakamura win their respective singles matches.
The blue brand's women also featured prominently on the card as Aliyah got a massive opportunity to dethrone Charlotte Flair as the SmackDown Women's Champion.
Sasha Banks & Naomi also put their WWE Women's Tag Team Championship on the line against the heel team of Natalya & Shayna Baszler.
