He talks about NXT taking over last week, and puts the blame on Roman Reigns. Corbin insults the size of Reigns&#8217;s testicles, and he shows an animated video of a barking dog. He also talks about poop. It&#8217;s very boring and dumb.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nKayla Braxton asks Big E and Kofi Kingston about Xavier Woods. Big E had some advice for Woods: don&#8217;t drop the soap. Kofi reminds Big E that Woods isn&#8217;t in jail, he&#8217;s recovering from an injury. Kofi also says that New Day will become seven-time tag champs tonight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 1<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>SmackDown Tag Team Title Match<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Kofi Kingston &amp; Big E vs The Revival<\/strong> (SD Tag Champs)<br \/>\n(referee: Dan Engler)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69f35de36a560','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69f35de36a560\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69f35de36a560\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Kofi Kingston pins Dash Wilder after Trouble in Paradise<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 5:40<\/strong> (1 break)<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. The advantage went back and forth with a few big sequences of sustained offense by both teams, and overall this was a very evenly fought match. For a match of this importance I wish it had been built up a little more and had been a little longer, but it was still a pretty fun match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nRoman Reigns has arrived at the arena, and he is greeted by Shorty G.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Backstage<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nSami Zayn wants to speak with Daniel Bryan. Zayn doesn&#8217;t blame Bryan for not standing with him and Nakamura, but if he had, Bryan would now be the NXT champ. Bryan just doesn&#8217;t understand what Zayn can do for Bryan&#8217;s career. Just ask Nakamura and Cesaro what Zayn has done for them. Better yet, watch tonight as Cesaro and Nakamura team up tonight because of Sami Zayn.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nHeavy Machinery comes out for a match, but they are attacked in the ring by Imperium.

Zayn thinks Bryan&#8217;s mind is already made up, and he wants Bryan to say what he has to say. Suddenly, the lights go out. A red light comes on, and The Fiend is there. The Fiend attacks Daniel Bryan as Zayn runs away.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nClips of Tyson Fury versus Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nTyson Fury heads to the ring.

They shake hands, and Fury thinks that if they ever compete again, it should be as a tag team. Strowman likes the sound of that.<\/p>\n<p>The B-Team heads to the ring. Bo Dallas says the &#8220;B&#8221; in B-Team stands for &#8220;fearless.&#8221; Dallas and Axel then get run over by Strowman.
