Smark Out Moment

Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown for August 21, 2018 is coming to you live from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Follow along here for ongoing coverage of the results of the show to find out what happens as things occur and chat with fellow WWE fans in the comments below!

• The Miz and Maryse kick off the show to talk some trash about Daniel Bryan, who comes out. After Maryse says he should change his name to Daniel Bella, that prompts Brie Bella to come out. She decks The Miz and the heels run off. Bryan announces a mixed tag team match between the two pairs for Hell in a Cell.
• Randy Orton defeated Jeff Hardy by disqualification after Hardy kicks Orton below the belt. They brawl after the match and Hardy ends up on top.
• The Bar and The Good Brothers argue over who should get a tag title shot.
• Peyton Royce defeated Naomi by pinfall
• Despite the crowd being totally in Becky Lynch's favor, WWE is trying to force the narrative that she's had enough of the audience and that they don't support her enough and that's why she turned heel against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam. The crowd does not want to play along and keeps chanting for Becky, even when Charlotte comes out and they start to brawl. The rest of the SmackDown women's division breaks them up with the heels holding back Becky and the babyfaces holding back Charlotte to help further reiterate that point.
• Rusev and Lana defeated Andrade "Cien" Almas and Zelina Vega by submission
• AJ Styles is interviewed by Renee Young and blah blah blah, Samoa Joe attacks him.
• Carmella talks to Paige and gets her title rematch against Charlotte Flair next week. R-Truth interrupts the two of them to say that Carmella has been ducking and dodging him for weeks (LOL).
• The New Day defeated The Bludgeon Brothers by pinfall in a No Disqualification match to win the SmackDown Tag Team Championship!
