The Blue brand of WWE, Smackdown, landed in Rochester, Minnesota, and they put on a show that entertained everyone on Monday, the night before Smackdown Live.

Here are the full results and review of the Live Event:


#1 The Usos [c] vs Breezango vs The New Day for the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Championship

The show opened with The Usos facing the New Day and Breezango in a title match. New Day was minus Xavier Woods, as he was recovering away from an injury he sustained last week.

The match was an epic one as Breezango were hilarious, as were the New Day with their antics. The Usos retained over the other two. The Usos have seriously improved as a tag team recently and it shows in each match they have competed in.

Result: The Usos retained their titles and picked up the victory over Breezango and New Day

#2 Aiden English vs Tye Dillinger

Another amazing match from the night was the one where Aiden English faced Tye Dillinger. Aiden even got to sing his song twice as he got an encore request from the Rochester crowd. The match was nonstop action and showed how underrated the two are on the main roster.
