SmackDown stepped out after a review of last week’s attack by the Retribution and we learned that security at every entrance and exit to the arena was secured to prevent future attacks. Big E was first out for the first game of the night against John Morrison.
The lights were malfunctioning before the match even started and members of the Retribution attacked the two participants when the announcers fled. After a beatdown, Big E and Morrison were left lying around at rings and De Miz came out to check on his tag partner.
Big E and Morrison were backstage at SmackDown and King Corbin tried to drive the locker room to fight back against the unknown enemy. Sheamus came up and took jabs at E, but he kicked it off and said he would get his game with Morrison later tonight.
Sasha Banks and Bayley were back at SmackDown and Bayley said even the McMahons could not keep them at the moment. They stepped out of the triple brand Battle Royal.

Bianca Belair managed to pick up Tamina and drop her off before Naomi was taken out by Evans with the Women’s Right. Shotzi took Evans out and Lacey helped eliminate Shayna Blackheart from the outside. Belair was sent over the knee by Nox, but Baszler dumped her outside while Dana Brooke helped.
