After Monday Night RAW had the venue last night, WWE was back at the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England for tonight’s SmackDown Live, which will of course not actually be live on the USA Network due to being in the United Kingdom.

While no matches had been announced prior to the tapings, here are the results for tonight’s show:
