SmackDown Results: Roman Reigns destroyed; Top Champion pinned

We learned on SmackDown that Roman Reigns had left the arena and we saw some footage of Kevin Owens saying that he was not allowed into SmackDown because Roman pulled some strings.

"I showed up to work today and was told I couldn't get in to the building because @WWERomanReigns pulled some strings to make sure I wouldn't be there."#SmackDown @FightOwensFight pic.twitter.com/zbiVXLh95l

He explained his tattoos and said that his grandfathers supported him but never got to see him get into WWE. He said he would be the last man standing after facing Roman at the Rumble and honor his own family.

The Street Profits were backstage on SmackDown and were congratulating Sonya Deville for her new job. They asked for a tag title rematch but Sonya said Montez's injuries would keep him from competing for a few weeks.

Bayley came out and sent Michael Cole off and explained how the course works before starting her run. Bayley had little trouble flipping the tyre and went around the jumping obstacles before she lifted Chad Gable into the fireman's carry.

She went for the basketball, the final challenge, and finished the course in 1:12. After her run, Bayley asked for the course to be reset, making it even harder. Bianca breezed through the first part of the challenge before Otis came out instead of Gable.
