What Happened After Last Night's WWE SmackDown Went Off The Air?
WWE had a special treat for fans who stuck around after SmackDown went dark.
WWE closed last night's episode of SmackDown with a Fatal-4-Way - Seth Rollins beat 'King' Nakamura, Kevin Owens and Big E before posing with the men's Money In The Bank briefcase as the show went off the air.
Rollins then grabbed a mic once the cameras went dark and claimed he would soon hold the case properly. That reportedly received a mix of cheers and boos from the near-15,000 strong inside Houston's Toyota Center, but WWE weren't quite finished.
Owens later asked Seth for a handshake. When the heel refused, the company moved quickly on and set up an impromptu dark match Battle Royal. Fans on Twitter noted that Nakamura, Big E, Apollo Crews, Commander Azeez, Finn Bálor (who had returned to action earlier in the night), Robert Roode, Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro and "a few others" (who were unnamed) worked the bout.
Big E won the thing by eliminating recent rival Apollo, then grabbed a microphone himself and thanked everybody for their support during the pandemic.
WWE still weren't done.
Pat McAfee got some minutes on the mic too, and his speech apparently received one of the biggest pops of the night.
