WWE SmackDown video highlights: Gunther vs. Rey Mysterio
Last night’s SmackDown saw Gunther defend his Intercontinental Championship against a legendary opponent.
A big man vs. little man matchup headlined last night’s SmackDown as Gunther retained the Intercontinental title against Rey Mysterio. Gunther got the win after dropping Mysterio with a lariat.
Mysterio was able to kick out of a powerbomb during the match. Gunther went for a powerbomb again, but Mysterio reversed it into a hurricanrana and attempted a 619. Gunther cut Mysterio off with a big boot, hit a lariat, and pinned him to get the victory.
Earlier in the show, Braun Strowman assured that MVP won’t be a problem for him when he takes on Omos at Saturday’s pay-per-view in Saudi Arabia. Strowman laid out MVP with three powerslams.
It was also announced that either The Usos or Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland & Butch) will defend the Undisputed WWE Tag Team titles against The New Day’s Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods on SmackDown next Friday. Holland & Butch are challenging The Usos for the titles at Crown Jewel.
