The Tuesday night Smackdown had a 10-man Royal Rumble to decide who will face Bray Wyatt at the Wrestlemania for WWE Championship. But, the controversial end to the main event meant Wyatt still awaits for his title challenge.
We all know Raw and Smackdown are two events which are most watched as there no dull moments and no lack of controversies. On Tuesday night at Smackdown, the event was a bit subdued as per standards. It was rather a flat night but 10-man Royal Rumble to decide Bray Wyatt's challenger after Randy Orton backed off from facing the champion was an entertaining prospect. A controversy marred the main event, though.
There were 10 superstars fighting it out and after some time, Luke Harper and AJ Styles were the remaining superstars in the ring. The problem was both wanted a ticket at the Wrestlemania and as it turned out, it was not an easy decision to announce the winner on the controversial Smackdown night.
The fact that both Harper and Styles landed on the floor marred the controversy. This delayed the verdict by the referees as to who landed first and who won the ticket to the Wrestlemania. Styles and Harper landed on the floor together with their feet.
Finally, it took Smackdown Live General Manager Daniel Bryan to decide the eventual winner. The manager rushed out with his officials to decide the fate and could not decide whose feet landed first on the floor. Eventually, the result was declared as a draw much to a weird reaction by fans. But, Bryan added saying that next week, they will surely find the number one contender who will challenge Bray Wyatt for the WWE Championship at the Wrestlemania.
Other results in Smackdown includes Naomi relinquishing her SmackDown women's championship due to injury. Alexa Bliss defeated Becky Lynch to win the SmackDown women's championship eventually. Finally, Natalya defeats Nikki Bella in Falls Count Anywhere match.
