SmackDown kicked off with A Moment of Bliss and the guest for the night was Universal Champion Braun Strowman. Alexa asked him for a response to Bray Wyatt's words from last week before Strowman said that if Wyatt came for him, he would 'get these hands'.
Braun noticed a gift-wrapped box in the corner of the ring as the interview went on and though that Alexa had gotten him a present. He opened it and found the sheep mask from his stint with the Wyatt family.
Bray appeared on the screen and did the eerie laugh before we headed for commercials.
Tamina vs. Sasha Banks
Sasha brought a t-shirt for Tamina so they could be besties but Tamina threw it away because it wasn't her size before beating Sasha into the next century. A distraction from Bayley allowed Sasha to drive Tamina into the ring post on the outside.
A big move off the apron and another shove sent Tamina to the steps. Before Bayley could lay into Tamina, Lacey Evans attacked the champ and helped Tamina pick up the win with a Superkick.
Result: Tamina def. Sasha Banks

Sonya DeVille was out next and said that Mandy hadn't been returning her messages or calls. She called Mandy out to explain the situation before calling her the most selfish person ever.
It turns out Sonya was sick of being the sidekick and all that was part of her revenge plot. She yelled at Mandy some more, telling her she had no talent before Dolph Ziggler came out to mediate things.
Otis came out as well and a brawl broke out between the four. Otis fought Ziggler off once but he came back before Ziggler was hit with the caterpillar and retreated.
We got a very moving video package in honor of Howard Finkel who passed away this week.
Daniel Bryan vs. Cesaro - MITB qualifier
As the match started, the hooded vigilante that had exposed Sonya and Dolph's plans came back on before hinting at another big reveal, possibly involving the tag team division. Back from a break, Bryan was working on Cesaro's arm, attempting to weaken him. A hip toss into an armbar didn't last long as Cesaro overpowered him, lifting him up for a powerbomb.
Shinsuke tried to get involved as Cesaro was locking in the cross-face and Gulak took him out on the outside, making sure Bryan got a submission victory.
Result: Daniel Bryan def. Cesaro and will be joining the MITB ladder match
