The match was called off and the two teams tried to separate them. We headed for another break on SmackDown as Otis and Tucker managed to take Mandy out of the ring and away from Deville.
The two groups were still quarreling backstage when we returned to SmackDown and the lights went out before the Retribution took over the ring, carrying baseball bats and attacked everyone in sight, including the NXT Superstars in the audience.
They were massacring everyone in sight and even the announcers fled as some of the crew picked up steel chairs to defend themselves. The Retribution flipped the announce table and started spraying the ring and the barricades as the carnage continued and one guy cut the ring ropes with a chainsaw. The cameras cut out rather abruptly as no one was quite sure about what just happened.
Episode rating: B
We got a great episode with Bray Wyatt's cryptic promo, a possible heel turn from Braun Strowman, and Mandy's revenge on Deville. We even got a shocking end to SmackDown that no one expected.
