Folks, it’s all happening! The countdown to Money in the Bank is on, and Friday’s “WWE SmackDown” was a barnburner! Chelsea Green, Carmelo Hayes, and Andrade muscled their way to the front of the line, securing their golden tickets to the Money in the Bank ladder match. Let’s break down the mayhem, shall we?
In the opening bout, Chelsea Green had a date with destiny—and two ring warriors, Michin and Bianca Belair. Michin, kicking things off with a bang, delivered a jaw-dropping Eat Defeat to Belair, followed by a Styles Clash on Green. But wait, folks, it’s WWE, and chaos is the main course! Belair came roaring back with a pristine KOD on Michin. Green, the opportunistic wizard, capitalized on the moment, shoving Belair off Michin to steal the win and a place in the women’s Money in the Bank ladder match.
The middle of the show turned into a battlefield with Carmelo Hayes facing Randy Orton and Tama Tonga. It was a classic brawl, with Hayes and Tonga briefly joining forces to lay the smackdown on “The Viper.” But Orton, showing why he’s a legend, bounced back with a hanging DDT. Just when you thought it couldn’t get wilder, Tanga Loa stormed ringside to distract Orton. Enter Kevin Owens, ready to rumble later that night, who brawled with Loa and Tonga. Amidst the chaos, Hayes seized the moment to roll up Orton for the victory. Bravo, Hayes, bravo!
As if that wasn’t enough, Kevin Owens had his own showdown with Andrade and Grayson Waller. But wait, Bloodline drama incoming! The Bloodline ambushed Owens during his entrance, leaving him limping into the ring. Owens, visibly weakened, faced relentless attacks from a sadistic Waller. Just as Waller was about to hit a rolling Stunner on Andrade, Andrade flipped the script, countering with The Message to clinch the win. Hats off, Andrade!
Next week’s “WWE SmackDown” promises more explosive action with additional Money in the Bank qualifiers. The women will battle in two triple threats: Candice LeRae vs. Jade Cargill vs. Tiffany Stratton and Indi Hartwell vs. Naomi vs. WWE NXT call-up Blair Davenport. On the men’s side, LA Knight, United States Champion Logan Paul, and Santos Escobar will duke it out for their chance at Money in the Bank glory.
