One of the reasons this was such a good show was the fact the continued storyline between Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and Brock Lesnar. This week Reigns turned on Heyman as he felt he could no longer trust him. Lesnar came in to make the save. Reigns and Lesnar are scheduled to fight at Day One for the Universal Title. In addition, we got the New Day versus Usos again, but it was a fun match. Other than that it was a typical Smackdown show heading into the holiday.

This was a loaded card for a Friday night for Rampage and very entertaining. The show Adam Cole, Young Bucks, and Bobby Fish take on the Best Friends, Orange Cassidy and Rocky Romero in a fun eight-man tag. Tay Conti battled Penelope Ford in a submission match. In the main event a great 10-man tag between Eddie Kingston, Santana and Ortiz, and Lucha Bros taking on The Acclaimed, 2point0 and Daniel Garcia.
