Two Of A Kind. Kofi Kingston In Action After SmackDown Live Went Off The Air.

That’s not all. Tuesday nights are an interesting time for WWE as not only do they have SmackDown Live, but they also have 205 Live as a bonus. That makes for a second long night in a row for the roster and the fans, but that’s not all you get on the night. You also get a match before and after the TV cameras start and stop rolling and that was the case again this week.

There was a dark match both before and after this week’s SmackDown Live. Before the show went on the air, Heavy Machinery defeated Jinder Mahal and Shelton Benjamin. After the TV shows were over, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods defeated Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. However, the tag match was more of a handicap match as the four brawled to the ring before the bell but Owens rolled to the floor just after the match started, leaving Zayn to take the beating himself.

It was a double shot for Kingston and Zayn. Check out their triple threat match, also involving AJ Styles:

Opinion: It was a long night in Louisville and it was a smart move to have both matches run rather short. The second match was barely a minute long and was little more than a quick angle to wrap things up and send the fans home happy. The show was entertaining enough and it didn’t exactly need to be anything more than something fun to wrap up the evening.

Which of these matches sound better? Will Heavy Machinery win the Tag Team Titles soon? Let us know in the comments below.
