Top Stars Team Up In SmackDown Dark Matches
The dark match before this week’s episode of SmackDown Live saw the former NXT Women’s Champion Asuka teaming up with Naomi to defeat Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.
Though this wasn’t the only dark match of the night as the main event after 205 Live saw the WWE Champion AJ Styles teaming up with the former United States Champion Jeff Hardy.
This duo took on the team of Randy Orton and Samoa Joe and the faces got the victory. It’s worth mentioning that all four of them did not compete in any bout during the show.

After the trio’s victory, the leader of the former NXT Tag Champions Sanity, Eric Young took on Twitter and warned both these teams by saying that change is imminent:
