Tonight marked the first television match for The Fiend, and it was against none other than Kevin Owens, the man who he attacked last week after seemingly taking over Alexa Bliss.
In his first official match on Smackdown (and probably last), The Fiend took down Owens in another brutal showing, proving to the WWE universe just how powerful he can be.
During the match, Owens looked like he had a chance against The Fiend early on, but things quickly shifted in the other direction.
After landing multiple powerbombs onto The Fiend and breaking the announce table, Owens still couldn’t land a count out, as The Fiend surprised Owens by popping up and locking in the Mandible Claw. Owens still managed to hit the Stunner on him, but The Fiend wouldn’t let go of the Claw, and Owens eventually passed out in The Fiend’s clutch.
After the match, the music hits and the red lights cover the arena as The Fiend stands tall. The lights suddenly go to black and then the red lights come back up and The Fiend is standing on the stage now, staring face-to-face with Alexa Bliss.
The menacing sounds fill the arena. They both turn and look at the ring at the same tie, while Owens is down on the mat trying to recover, gasping for air. Bliss and Fiend turn back to each other and continue their staredown. The Fiend growls as his image flashes over the screen.
