Shortly after the culmination of the Backlash PPV, the WWE Superstars of Smackdown Live made a pit-stop at Allentown, Pennsylvania for a live event show.

As noted, the main-card featured several top names from the blue brand, including the newly reunited Club as well as, Smackdown Live’s newest Superstars Samoa Joe, Cesaro, and Sheamus, that were all a part of the show.


#1 The Bludgeon Brothers vs The Usos vs The New Day vs Rusev Day- (Smackdown Live Tag Team Championships)

The Bludgeon Brothers have been on a dominating run ever since winning the Smackdown Live Tag Team Titles at ‘Mania 34 and last night in Allentown, the devastating duo of Harper and Rowan once again successfully retained their tag team championships in a fatal four-way match, when Harper got the win for his side after connecting the Discus Clothesline on Rusev.

Result: The Bludgeon Brothers def. The Usos, New Day, and Rusev Day

#2 Big Cass vs Tye Dillinger

Despite failing to pick up a win over Daniel Bryan at Backlash, SD Live’s newest recruit Big Cass seemed to be pretty high on confidence in his one-on-one match against ‘The Perfect 10’. Cass got the win over Dillinger in a relatively easy manner after hitting the Big Boot.

Result: Big Cass def. Tye Dillinger

#3 Asuka, Becky Lynch & Naomi vs Lana, Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville

The first women’s match of the evening featured the team of former Smackdown Live Women’s Champions Becky Lynch and Naomi and ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’ Asuka, who picked up the win for her side after making Mandy Rose submit to the Asuka Lock.

#4 MizTV featuring Daniel Bryan

Next up, we had a MizTV segment with Daniel Bryan as the special guest of ‘The A-Lister’. The segment eventually ended up with Bryan brutally beating up The Miz and finishing off the former Intercontinental Champion with the Running Knee.

#5 Jeff Hardy vs Samoa Joe vs Shelton Benjamin- (United States Championship)

The second championship match of the evening saw Jeff Hardy successfully defend his US Title against former champion Shelton Benjamin and Samoa Joe, who still remains to be pretty upset following his loss to Roman Reigns at Backlash.

Getting back to the triple threat contest, Hardy pinned Benjamin for the win and retained his championship belt in the process as well.

Result: Jeff Hardy def. Samoa Joe and Shelton Benjamin

#6 Carmella vs Charlotte Flair- (Smackdown Live Women’s Championship)

After her emphatic championship win over Charlotte Flair on the Smackdown after ‘Mania, Carmella was once again successful in retaining her championship belt over ‘The Queen’ last night in Allentown.

Carmella, who also defeated Charlotte earlier in the week, once again got the better of the former champion after defeating her via a Roll-up pinfall, following outside interference from The IIconics—Billie Kay and Peyton Royce.

Result: Carmella def. Charlotte Flair

#7 The Club (AJ Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows) vs The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus) and Shinsuke Nakamura

The show ended with a huge six-man tag team match between The Club and the talented trio of Cesaro, Sheamus, and Shinsuke Nakamura, who for the record, once again failed to capture the WWE Championship this week at the Backlash PPV.

As noted, the main event was definitely an outstanding affair and all six men put their bodies on the line for a tremendous match-up, however, in the closing stages of the contest WWE Champion AJ Styles connected with The Phenomenal Forearm on Cesaro for the three count and the win for The Club.

Result: The Club def. The Bar and Shinsuke Nakamura
