He sarcastically acknowledged \u201cyour boy Brock Lesnar\u201d to Heyman. Brock eventually came out to attack Roman and then the Usos would assist Roman. Brock got the better of it all and attacked numerous ring side personnel. Because of his actions, Adam Pearce suspended Brock indefinitely, and then was treated to a F-5.<br \/>\nDrew McIntyre defeated Sami Zayn.<br \/>\nThey held a coronation ceremony for King of the Ring winner Xavier Woods with his New Day partner, Kofi Kingston by his side.<br \/>\nMansoor defeated Mustafa Ali.<br \/>\nHit Row (Isaiah \u201cSwerve\u201d Scott &#038; Top Dolla a\/Ashante \u201cThee\u201d Adonis and B-Fab) rapped on the way to the ring and then defeated Dustin Lawyer &#038; Daniel Williams. It was Hit Row\u2019s first appearance on Smackdown.<br \/>\nHappy Corbin (w\/Madcap Moss) defeated Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura (w\/Rick Boogs) in a non-title match.<br \/>\nCharlotte Flair (now of Smackdown) and Becky Lynch (now of Raw) exchanged women\u2019s championships to their respective shows with Sonya Deville as the \u201cmoderator.\u201d Controversy arose from this when Charlotte didn\u2019t hand over the title but dropped it behind her instead. After picking it up at the behest of obvious angry Sonya, she handed it to her, and Becky threw the Smackdown title at Charlotte. Sasha Banks came out and fought with Charlotte.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hit Row not surprised their debut was a success: SmackDown Exclusive, Oct. 22, 2021\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5O5XC_i1cTI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Happy Corbin &amp; Madcap Moss revel in their victory: SmackDown Exclusive, Oct. 22, 2021\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C8hcTY5sRAk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Arena<\/p>\n<p>Smackdown arrives in a regular spot for WWE programming in the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

It has hosted WWE events since 2005 and last hosted Smackdown in March of 2019 in the run-up to WrestleMania.<\/p>\n<p>As of this posting, approximately 12:30 p.m. EDT, no matches or segments are advertised for tonight<\/p>\n<p>Smackdown \u201cTakes Over\u201d FS1<\/p>\n<p>WWE has emphasized and has advertised throughout the week that tonight\u2019s edition of Smackdown will air on FS1. On their website, they say that Smackdown will \u201ctake over\u201d the channel, and recap what happened last week. Two encores will air following the live broadcast.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1193304699\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Smackdown aired on FS1 two weeks ago to accommodate the MLB ALCS on Fox.

They always have a significant drop-off in viewership when they move to FS1, so I get why they don\u2019t want to put out anything special especially if they think most people will want to watch the World Series. It makes sense to have two encore presentations, giving people a chance to watch later.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankPeteani.
