Smackdown: RESULTS – WWE generic card rule provokes controversy over Smackdown Live

Rarely, the reentry show for a WWE Pay Per View comes from outside the United States.

After their second night at O2 in London, Smackdown Live has introduced the latest elements of Money In. The Bank.

There was a lot of action to keep the fans on the edge of their seats while Finn Balor, Ali, Andrade and Randy Orton were all fatal to four.

Elsewhere, Kofi Kingston spent an eventful evening The new team of the group consisting of Asuka and Kairi Sane – the Kabuki Warriors – also fueled the crowds in London.

Here, Mirror Sport retraces the major events preceding Sunday's special network.

The Wildcard puzzle

We made great case of the article WrestleMania Superstar Shakeup that saw superstars such as Roman Reigns and Finn Balor head for Smackdown and The Miz and the Uso are heading in the opposite direction

A few weeks later, Vince introduced the "Wildcard" rule allowing brand talents to appear in opposite shows, and vice versa.

This creative way to hide the alleged demand of their new partners The TV channels that ended the split of the brand have caused truly disconcerting moments. It's complicated and ridiculous.

Opening Smackdown was not only Roman Reigns, but also The Miz, who recently moved to Raw. After Miz's ban by Shane, attention shifted to Roman and Bryan and Rowan joined his new buddy, Elias, for the Big Dog badault.

The Roman family – and Raw's new team, The Uso's – were arrested. (by applying this generic rule again). All this set up a handicap match later, but the Wildcard rule can surely be applied now, it has changed so much since its introduction that it was more a suggestion than a rule.

The Fantastic Four Climb the Ladder

The Money in the Bank Scale Games are those in which Talents can really demonstrate their abilities with incredible spots.

Kofi Kingston, Edge and others have climbed the ladder by performing spectacular moves and with the talent involved in this year's Money in the Bank men's game, we should see something special Sunday night.

The four Smackdown participants were in action Tuesday night, while Finn Balor, Ali, Andrade and Randy Orton took part in a fatal four-way race.

The four men really played an outstanding match in which Andrade won the victory of intercontinental champion Finn Balor.

But it was preceded by a specter. Clbadic segment featuring Ali and Randy Orton. These two have incredible chemistry and we must believe that the RKO on Ali is that of Randy.

After the match while Andrade was climbing a ladder for the briefcase, Raw's Ricochet had prevented the Latin star from reaching his case in an athletic manner, like Ricochet. jump on the top rope, then on the ladder.

Did this announce the result? Probably not, but after his loss to Baron Corbin on Raw, it was good to see him restored.

The Kabuki warriors

The WWE loves them good team names. It is quite a surprise that Ryder and Hawkins, as well as Bryan and Rowan have not yet received a collective nickname but that they are both champions. However, the last team of the group consisting of Asuka and Kairi Sane finally got an interesting and interesting name.

Paige brought the two players together a few weeks ago, with a back-to-back female team champions, Since 1965, after winning another emphatic victory – considered a very media commentary, Paige has announced that his new team would be known as Kabuki Warriors.

Apparently, Kabuki is a type of dance / theater. I'm not sure how it goes here, but the announcement of the ring is a little brighter.

However, this could change by Sunday.

Package Promotion

One of the things that excels at WWE is promotion via thumbnails.

Bray Wyatt's latest articles in the Firefly Funhouse are among the best promotional materials. They were followed by kits promoting Becky Lynch and Charlotte's Money in the Bank match and a wonderfully mysterious vignette by Aleister Black.

Exploring the past of the NXT and the recent history of Smackdown between Lynch and Flair, the story of a friendship that went wrong is perfectly framed before the clash of the title on Sunday.

Similarly, the dark and dark promo of Black has helped to better understand his character. and although he has already seen it on weekly television, his return will be something special.

When WWE succeeds, it really succeeds.

The KO show comes under the skin of Kofi

Since returning to Smackdown, Kevin Owens has been a revelation. He firmly stepped into the main event photo as the first major challenger to the WWE Championship as the two face off on Sunday night.

Insisting that he faces Owens alone, Kingston goes to the ring to watch an episode of Kevin Owens' series, but the host will not appear.

In the absence of the latter, Kingston went in search of the Prizefighter. ambushed by the Canadian on the ramp. Thanks to the fight, the chances of KO to increase were favored thanks to his former partner, Sami Zayn.

In the evening, Xavier Woods arrived on the scene and Kofi finally stood up to finish the show. With both meetings on Sunday, will outside interference have a say in the WWE Championship destination?

This foreshadows a controversial ending that announces itself.
