Smackdown made a long awaited return to Buffalo with a Sunday afternoon house show at the Key Bank Center.
Vic Joseph came out to welcome everyone as the show's host.
The National anthem was a pre-recorded Lillian Garcia....nice touch.
*New Day's Big E and Xavier Woods (tons of Kofi chants) defeated Sanity. There was lots of comedy, including Killian taking his shirt off.
*The IIconics' Billie Kaye defeated Carmella when Peyton Royce held Carmella's feet for the pin.
*Samoa Joe did an open challenge for the U.S. Title, defeating Mustafa Ali, R-Truth, The Miz and Rey Mysterio. Joe put down Buffalo's weather and sports teams, but he went too far when he put down the wings!
*Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair. The crowd went crazy for Becky, who won a great long match with the Disarmher.
*The Hardy Boyz defeated The Bar.
*WWE Smackdown Women's Champion Asuka defeated Mandy Rose. Sonya Deville came down to ringside and interfered in the match.
*In the main event, WWE Champion Daniel Bryan & Rowan lost a great match to AJ Styles & Kofi Kingston. The crowd went ballistic for Kofi, who was tossing pancakes out to the audience.
Perhaps a telling spoiler for Wrestlemania... they kept showing a graphic that featured Finn Balor as The Demon.
