The October 25, edition of WWE SmackDown was a stacked show as the Superstars of the blue brand sought to build momentum ahead of WWE Crown Jewel. The fans in Brooklyn, New York received a special treat after the show as Seth Rollins was in action in his first match in close to four months.
After SmackDown went off the air, Rollins defeated ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio, who had appeared during the show alongside Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. This match marked Rollins’ first match since Money in the Bank in July of this year, where he faced Damian Priest and Drew McIntyre. This match was the thirteenth time overall that Rollins and Mysterio have shared the ring after first facing off in Dominik’s in-ring debut at WWE SummerSlam 2020.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see Rollins back in the ring again, as he will face Bronson Reed at WWE Crown Jewel 2024. It was Reed’s attack on Rollins that would cost the former Universal Champions months of his career before Seth’s impactful return during the Last Monster Standing match.
The fans in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center also got a second episode of SmackDown, as the show set to air on November 1, was filed as WWE will be in Riyadh next week. Click here for the spoilers for next week’s edition of the blue brand.
