WWE SmackDown notes: Sami Zayn & Lil Yachty, Jordynne Grace, Danhausen
Notes from Friday’s WWE SmackDown.
Prior to the show Jordynne Grace made her in-ring return, squaring off against Zelina Vega in a match that will air on Main Event. Grace had been gone for the last month after suffering an ankle injury during a match against Alba Fyre that was also taped for the same show.
Later on SmackDown, Sami Zayn came out for a promo and declared that he didn’t care what fans thought about him because he only cared about those who had his back since day one. Trick Williams and Lil Yachty then arrived, with Williams promising he was going to whoop Zayn at WrestleMania.
During Williams’ match against Matt Cardona, the former NXT Champion dared Zayn to take him on. Zayn got on the apron but it was a trap, as Yachty tripped Zayn back to the floor. Zayn responded by laying out Yachty with the helluva kick on the outside. Williams was rolled up by Cardona due to the distraction but Williams quickly took out Cardona anyway with the trick shot for the win.
Danhausen wrestled his first match on Friday against Kit Wilson, who had the better of the mysterious new WWE star towards the end. However, Danhausen proceeded to curse Wilson again, leading to pyro bursting out of the turnbuckle and sending Wilson crashing to the ground. Danhausen then scored his first-ever WWE win with a running kick. After the match, the Miz popped up and looked to take out Danhausen, who proceeded to vanish before Miz could get to him.
