SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...
WWE SMACKDOWN HOLT REPORT
JULY 10, 2018
MANCHESTER, N.H. AT SNHU ARENA
AIRED LIVE ON USA NETWORK
REPORT BY DEREC CLARK, PWTORCH CORRESPONDENT
PRE-SMACKDOWN DARK MATCH
(A) Becky Lynch & Naomi defeated The IIconics. Becky made one of them tap to the Disarmher. Not sure if it was Peyton or Billie, my view was a bit obstructed at the end.
Tye Dillinger came out after, but got attacked by Samoa Joe on the way to the ring and put to sleep. Kind of odd.
POST-SMACKDOWN DARK MATCH
(1) Jeff Hardy beat The Miz with a Swanton Bomb to retain the U.S. Title.
ON-SITE NOTES…
Biggest pop was easily Daniel Bryan, then probably Styles and Hardy. Becky also got a really big pop too.
There was a whole section on the hard cam side tarped off and the upper levels as well. But it was a surprisingly pretty hot crowd for what was there.

It is kind of odd, but I guess it’s a thing that’s happening.
