WWE SmackDown Results, Draft Edition – We are live from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, MD, as Michael Cole and Pat McAfee welcome us to the show and detail the Draft.
Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville make their way to the ring to announce the 1st picks for Smackdown and RAW.
Smackdown selects Roman Reigns and Charlotte Flair.
RAW selects: Big E and Bianca Belair.
In the Arena:
Roman Reigns’ music hits and he makes his way to the ring accompanied by Paul Heyman. During the looong entrance, we see what happened last Sunday at Extreme Rules, when ring rope brokes under Finn Balor’s feet and Reigns retained the Universal Title.
Paul says that isn’t loud enough for Roman. Paul says it does not surprise him from a room of Baltimorons. It should not surprise the number one draft pick. Before Extreme Rules, we had to say the UNDEFEATED demon, but not any more because that demon went up against an exorcist named Roman Reigns. Like a shark that circles around the Island of Relevancy, this shark only looks forward. This shark looks forward to Crown Jewel which will not be held in Suplex City because Paul assures you that beast will come up against the Suplexorcist, Roman Reigns. Roman Reigns will remain your Universal Champion and he will smash at Crown Jewel Brock Lesnar.
The music plays and Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring!
Brock bounces in the ring and he has some words wtih Roman but there is no mic so we cannot hear. Roman punches and kicks Brock but Brock sends Reigns to Suplex City! The Usos runs to the ring to make the save but Brock clotheslines an Uso and then hits a German suplex on the other. Roman goes to the floor.
Lesnar stands tall and challenges Reigns to come back in as Reigns stares at him from ringside, seething. Reigns comes back to the apron and Lesnar tells him to bring it. Reigns backs off the apron as fans boo. Lesnar scoops Jimmy Uso and drops him with a F5 as Reigns fumes on the ramp. Lesnar grabs Jey Uso and drops him with the F5 next. A furious Lesnar stares Reigns down as Reigns heads to the back with Heyman. Fans cheer Lesnar on.
