WWE SmackDown Results April 30th, 2019: Winners, video highlights, Grades for latest SmackDown Live

WWE Champion Kofi Kingston kicked off SmackDown Live and Michael Cole was already in the ring when he entered. Cole reminded us of the rollercoaster ride Kofi's career has taken in the last few months before getting to the real issue, Kevin Owens.

Last week, KO betrayed the New Day and knocked out Kofi before stepping on his head while holding the championship belt. Kingston said that he thought KO could change but he was wrong.

Kofi said if KO wanted a title shot, all he had to do was ask. He offered Owens a match at Money in the Bank and KO came out and accepted the challenge.

The two were arguing when Xavier Woods attacked Owens from behind and KO hit a superkick, taking Woods down. Kofi came to the rescue and KO retreated before the segment ended.

A short backstage promo for Aleister Black came up before the commercials that gave a little more exposition for his character. The Hardy Boyz were up next and were about to make an important announcement.

The Hardy Boyz make a big announcement

The Hardy Boyz came out and Jeff was using a crutch to walk. Kayla Braxton was in the ring and held the mic for Jeff as he said that Lars Sullivan's attack on them last week left him unable to walk. He said that he needed surgery and would be unable to compete for a while and so they wanted to relinquish the SmackDown Tag Team Championships.

Just as Jeff made the announcement, Lars Sullivan's music hit and he ran out to attack the Hardys yet again. Matt managed to hold him back for a while as Jeff tried to get out of the ring but Lars threw him outside.

Jeff was trying to defend himself with his crutch and R-Truth hit Sullivan with a steel chair from behind. Lars wiped out Truth with a few big moves as well before walking out.

Match Rating: C

Backstage, Mandy Rose told Sonya Deville that Shane offered them a spot in the women's Money in the Bank match but the catch was that only one of them would get the shot. Mandy offered the chance to Deville but she said that Mandy deserved it a lot more, especially since she almost won the Women's Tag Team titles the last time. Mandy Rose and Bayley are in the cards so far from SmackDown Live.

Roman Reigns came out and we saw a short video package of his attack on Vince and Shane McMahon in the last few weeks. He grabbed the mic and said that he did it to prove that he was still the Big Dog. Shane came out and the two bickered a little before Roman asked him to join him in the ring for a real fight. Shane said he was too busy and had to train for his cage match but sent the B Team at Reigns. Shane set up a match between Reigns and the B Team and added that the special guest referee/enforcer would be Elias.

Roman Reigns vs. The B Team

Bo Dallas put Reigns in a headlock. Reigns countered with a big blow before Curtis Axel was tagged in. After landing a DDT, Axel for the cover, but Reigns just kicked out. Reigns countered once again with a Samoan Drop on Dallas and went for the pinfall but Dallas kicked out. A distraction from Elias helped Axel and Dallas land a few kicks.

Reigns hit a Superman Punch on both opponents but Elias grabbed the referee and pulled him out of the ring before he could finish the three count. Elias and Reigns started fighting before Elias went for the guitar but Reigns hit the Superman Punch. Reigns then hit the spear on Axel and got the win.

Result: Roman Reigns def. The B Team

Match rating: A

Finn Balor & Ali vs. Randy Orton & Andrade

The two Superstars teamed up for an intense match

Orton dropped Ali face first onto the apron early on and we broke for commercials shortly after. Orton landed a beautiful powerslam after the break and went for the pinfall, but Ali kicked out. Balor was the legal man and Vega tried to prevent him from climbing the ropes before Andrade hit a big knee to the face. Ali and Finn hit a double team move for the win.

Result: Finn Balor & Ali def. Randy Orton & Andrade

The KO Show with special guest Xavier Woods

KO got on the mic and said that he was confident that he would win the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank before introducing his guest. Woods didn't show after all but KO had an action figure of Woods that he sat on the chair. He then took out an action figure of Big E and set it beside the other before kicking the chair over.

Kofi Kingston showed up instead of Woods and the two brawled before KO was sent over the announce table and decided to retreat.

Segment rating: B

The show was full of surprises but the matches were mediocre at best
