As we reported last night here on eWn, several dark matches took place prior to the WWE SmackDown TV tapings. We saw Cal Bloom vs. Austin Theory, Keith Lee vs. ???, and Kacy Catanzaro and Xia Li vs. Aliyah and Dakota Kai. For those unaware, Cal Bloom is the son of former WWE and AWA wrestler Wayne Bloom.
After the show went off the air, Finn Balor & The Street Profits vs. Roman Reigns & The Usos took place. Balor and The Street Profits picked up the win to send the crowd home happy.
