MVP foils Goldberg's plan

Bobby Lashley, the all mighty WWE Champion, went on to retain his title against WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg after the referee was forced to end the match midway. The contest began with Goldberg tossing the champion around the ring, but it didn't last long as MVP, Lashley's aid, standing outside the ring made great use of a distracted referee and hit Goldberg on the knee with hiscage.

After the hit Goldberg lost hold of his momentum as Lashley kept targeting the injured knee. Soon it became evident that Goldberg was unable to stand, forcing the referee to end the match and Lashley retained his title.

Following the contest, Lashley continued his attack on Goldberg but this time with a steel chair, which saw Goldberg's son join the action in a bid to save his father. However, it didn't took long for Lashley to take him down after which both the champion and MVP marched off to backstage. 

Becky Lynch returns with a BANG  

Becky Lynch made a fantastic return to WWE and didn't waste much time to become the new SmackDown Women's champion. Bianca Belair, who was the previous champion, was initially scheduled against Sasha Banks, however, Lynch became the new challenger for the title. There have been no official statement as to why the original match between Sasha and Bianca was called off.  

The proceedings kicked-off with Smackdown announcer Greg Hamilton announcing that due to the unavailability of Banks, Belair will defend her title against Carmella, which was not appreciated by the crowd.

Belair then said that she will take on Carmella in the ring today, but asserted that the match against Banks is still on. Moments after this, Lynch interrupted the show, which also saw a huge cheer from the audience.

The Man then went on to challenge the champion, which was accepted by Belair. However, the match didn't last long as Lynch hit Belair in the jaw and then slammed her to win the title in less than a minute.
