WWE Smackdown Results of the night

Reigns came out and stood on the ramp with Paul Heyman. He then ordered Paul to call out The Usos. Paul tried calling out The Usos, but none of the two came out. All of a sudden, we saw The Usos sent outside on the ramp by someone, and that someone was none other than the WWE Champion Big E.

Jeff Hardy vs. Madcap Moss- Even before the match could have started, Hardy took the mic and told Moss that if he has Happy Corbin in his corner, then he also has got some backup. The backup was none other than Drew McIntyre.
As the bell rang, Madcap Moss went right after Hardy by bashing him with his brutal moves. After going through some beating, Hardy retaliated by going old school and hitting a basement dropkick to rock Madcapp Moss. He then hit a Twist of Fate and was heading to the top turnbuckle for a Whisper in the Wind.

Backstage- A depleted yet furious King Woods told the interviewer backstage that he is going to call out Roman Reigns later tonight and challenge him.
The Usos kick off the show- The Usos kick off the show. Both Jimmy & Jey Uso were standing in the middle of the ring and called out Roman Reigns to acknowledge him, to bestow him with the King’s crown and scepter.

Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman were both in the ring now and Paul Heyman had the mic in his hand. He said that there’s no one in WWE to be crowned the King of WWE. He added that neither Xavier Woods, Brock Lesnar, nor Big E deserves to be called the King of WWE.

Roman Reigns then took the crown and asked that who’s idea was this (the King’s crown and scepter). Paul pointed towards The Usos and then Roman said that all this doesn’t mean anything to him he wore the crown last week because he can do it without any hesitation.
Roman’s segment was cut short by King Woods who walked out on the ramp. He stood there with the mic in his hand and said to Roman that a real King doesn’t need all this (Crown, scepter, King’s chair, etc.), but a real king does everything for the WWE Universe. After hearing King Woods’ words, Roman Reigns asked if he is sure he doesn’t need all these properties and commanded his cousin Jey Uso to dismantle every property present in the ring one by one.
On Roman’s command, Jey Uso dismantled everything. When Reigns was about to stomp the King’s crown, King Woods rushed into the ring, but The Usos beat the hell out of him. Finally Reigns stomped on the crown right before King Wood’s face.
