What Happened Before and After “Smackdown Live”?

Opening and closing. This week’s episode of “Smackdown Live” saw some big story advancements as Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan’s issues with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn continued. There was also a potential new challenger for the US Title and a team getting ready to go after the Tag Team Titles. But what happened before and after the show?

Before tonight’s show, Tye Dillinger defeated Mike Kanellis in 5:54 with the Tyebreaker. In the post-show dark match, the team of Bobby Roode and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin at 13:10 when Nakamura hit Kinshasa on Ziggler. During the match Corbin threw Roode into the timekeeper’s area where Roode took out some production workers. After the match, Roode had the workers brought into the ring to pose with him.

That wasn’t all for Roode and Corbin on the night.

Opinion: I was lucky enough to be in the arena tonight and it made for an entertaining evening. There’s always something cool to see with big names showing up at the end of the night to send the fans home happy. Roode is going to get a great reaction no matter what and Dillinger is the perfect person to open a show with the Perfect Ten stuff. It made for an entertaining start and finish and those are both incredibly important parts of a show.

Which of these matches sounds better? Where do you see Roode and Nakamura going from here? Let us know in the comments below.
