There were two dark matches on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live and they both consisted former Champions from NXT who have recently debuted on the main roster.
The first match saw the former NXT Champion Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas continuing his rivalry with Sin Cara as he defeated the Masked Star in a one on one match before the show started.
Though there was no clear winner in the second dark match of the night and the match between Sanity and The New Day which took place after cameras stopped rolling ended in a double disqualification after both the teams collided in the ring.
It’s worth mentioning here that this wasn’t the first time these two teams met during the night as Sanity interrupted New Day’s pancake eating contest and attacked the former Tag Champs during the broadcast of the Blue Branded show.
After the event, the trio lead by Eric Young was interviewed by Renee Young. She asked them about the reason behind the attack and replying to it Eric said that they don’t need to explain anything:

So far the trio does not have any announced match for Extreme Rules but it appears that WWE is building towards Sanity vs. New Day bout for the upcoming PPV.
However, the same cannot be said about Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas and it’s hard to say whether WWE will have him compete in a match at the upcoming show or not.
