Triple H came out to thunderous applause from the fans at the BOK Center in Tulsa. He was joined by Adam Pearce, whom Hunter prompted as the new General Manager of RAW. This left the question of who will be the new manager of SmackDown. Hunter didn’t waste time to reveal former two-time NWA Champion Nick Aldis.

However, this celebration was cut short as Dominik Mysterio made his way to the ring. Hunter broke kayfabe to address the loud boos claiming that he thought they were filled in, which they were not. Aldis welcomed Mysterios by saying, “Big fan” before pausing and continuing, “of your dad.”

This was followed by Aldis announcing the wrestler that got traded to SmackDown as Jey Uso was now on RAW. Before Aldis could announce the wrestler, Dominik interrupted, saying he would slap whoever it was.

It was Kevin Ownes who calmly walked down to the ring. As he entered, he Stone Cold Stunnered Dom Dom and sent him rolling out. Owens made his presence known to the entire SmackDown locker room with this one move.

A new issue for The Bloodline

We got a backstage segment of The Bloodline watching Owens right after this segment. Roman Reigns made it clear that he was unhappy with Ownes being on his show. Furthermore, he claimed he had to deal with Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, and Owens. Turning his attention to Jimmy, he asked why he wasn’t following the plan Reigns laid out. This was to take out Jey and get the titles back.

Jimmy immediately left the room after that segment. Ownes has been a thorn in the shoes of The Bloodline. Being on the same brand as them will ensure they cross paths again. Since returning to SmackDown, Reigns has been trying to clean up the mess that is The Bloodline and all their foes.
