WWE SmackDown Results, Highlights, And Grades For June 19, 2018

However, Harper and Rowan came back in to stand over Bryan, and Harper powerbombed him. Like WHAT! I don’t even know if this is laziness, but I’m not even mad. Because guess who eliminated him with the Skull Crushing Finale? The Miz. The same guy Daniel Bryan dissed in a promo earlier this evening.

The Miz eliminates Daniel Bryan with the SCF

Rusev comes out to face off against The Miz, and these are the final two.

The Miz put Rusev in a lot of holds, trying to ground Rusev Day to wear him out. Rusev even had to use a rope break to get out of one of those holds. The two started trading shots, and Rusev hit Miz with a Machka kick. But Miz kicked out!

Miz started going after Rusev outside the ring, hitting his head on the apron and driving him face-first into the steel steps.. However, it was Rusev’s turn to kick out at two.

It got great when Miz started using Bryan’s “Yes!” chant in the corner. He ended up getting hit with a Machka kick, slapped in the Accolade, and he tapped out.

So happy Rusev Day! We’re getting Rusev vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules! What a time to be alive!

Grade: A, Big E was awesome, Rusev winning was even better, and The Miz ostensibly paying off the Bludgeon Brothers to eliminate Daniel Bryan was also fantastic.
