WWE Smackdown results: Winners, highlights, recap, videos and grades; Check SmackDown results – August 28, 2020

WWE SmackDown Live results: The latest episode of WWE Smackdown Live Kicked-off Vince McMahon at backstage had a chat with Adam Pearce related to tonight’s contract signing that will take place for Sunday’s WWE Universal Championship match.

On the another segment we had Jeff Hardy who was in the ring to celebration and promo his victory over AJ Styles last week on SmackDown for Intercontinental Championship. However, that promo did not last very long as AJ Styles marked his ways towards the ring and bragged about that he is the greatest IC that WWE has had ever. But that bragging turned into brawl and we found out that Shinsuke Nakamura faced Jeff Hardy for his Intercontinental Championship and AJ Styles joined them at ringside on com box.

Adam Pearce opened the show by prepping security for a “combustible night.” He then entered a room with Vince McMahon, who gave him Pearce the task of getting the signatures on the contract before the night is over. McMahon suggested Pearce start with “The Fiend,” or Bray Wyatt, whoever was easiest to find.

Hardy was just starting a promo where he was about to say he was ready to defend his intercontinental championship when AJ Styles interrupted. Styles ran down Hardy, saying he was a liar and a cheat for landing a blow with his knee brace to win the title last week on SmackDown. Styles said that he had the match clearly won before Hardy landed the shot and then blamed Hardy for the doctor not clearing him to wrestle this week, but Hardy said he was issuing an open challenge to anyone but Styles tonight. After the two nearly came to blows, the show went to commercial. After the commercial, Nakamura was in the ring to challenge Hardy. Cesaro was shown during the match complaining without really complaining that Nakamura took the match. After a solid bit of back-and-forth wrestling, that included Hardy throwing Nakamura into Styles at the announce table, Hardy landed a knee using the leg with the knee brace, allowing him to hit the Twist of Fate and a swanton for the win. It’s a little screwy for Hardy to be using heel tactics by using the knee brace to score wins, against Styles was a fluke situation, against Nakamura is intentional. And adding tension to Cesaro and Nakamura’s team makes no sense. But the match was fine.

Grade: B

WWE SmackDown Live results and grade: Bray Wyatt signed the Payback contract from the Firefly Fun House:

1 signature down, 2 to go. https://t.co/FJBIYyMIID

— Adam Pearce (@ScrapDaddyAP) August 29, 2020

Wyatt celebrated the universal championship returning to the Fun House and gave Roman Reigns a welcome back, saying “it’s good to see you again.” Adam Pearce showed up as “Postman Pearce” asking Wyatt to sign the contract for Sunday. Wyatt asked why he should sign it — suggesting he’s not The Fiend — before laughing and signing, saying that if he knows “him,” it feels like he just signed a couple of death warrants.
