WWE SmackDown Results, Highlights, Grades For June 5, 2018
The New Day “Apologize”
The New Day interrupt The Miz’s mid-life crisis ninja practice to apologize to The A-Lister for annoying him over the past couple of weeks. They tell Miz that they will let him pick a name out of a hat, so he can finally announce which member of The New Day he’ll face at Money in the Bank in the ladder match.
Instead, he sticks his hand in a hat filled with pancake batter, and he’s beyond pissed at The New Day’s trickery. Tonight, Rusev, Samoa Joe, and The Miz will team up to face The New Day, and The Miz warns them that they won’t be laughing when Rusev kicks them and Joe puts them to sleep.
Grade: A, everything these four men touch is amazing, and this was no exception.
Harper vs. Karl Anderson
Result: Karl Anderosn Defeats Harper By Roll-Up
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson recently defeated The Usos to become the No. 1 contenders to the SmackDown Tag Team Championships, and they will face The Bludgeon Brothers at Money in the Bank. Tonight, Karl Anderson has a monstrous task on his hands against Harper.
After Harper dominated the match, Anderson somehow swooped in to seamlessly roll up Harper for a legitimately shocking victory. I wonder how Harper and Rowan will respond to this loss.
Grade: C+, really cool to see Anderson bag the win, and I’m always #here for a surprise roll-up win by the underdog in a random TV match.
