On the eve of the epic encounter between undisputed WWE universal champion Roman Reigns and social media megastar Logan Paul at Crown Jewel, SmackDown hit the Fox airwaves with a championship clash of its own as Rey Mysterio challenged GUNTHER for the intercontinental title in the night's main event.
Would the legendary figure be able to dethrone the seemingly unbeatable Ring General, or would GUNTHER roll to another successful title defense, his reign of dominance continuing for another week?
Find out now with this recap of Friday's broadcast.
No Disqualification Match: Liv Morgan vs. Sonya Deville
- Deville rocked Morgan with a hard right hand to start the match.
- The former WWE official utilized a kendo stick to unload on Morgan, only for the former SmackDown Women's champion to return the favor.
- Morgan put herself and Deville through a table heading into the break, a smile on her face.
- Deville delivered a powerbomb out of the corner, driving her opponent into a pile of steel chairs.
Credit: WWE.comThe weeks-long rivalry between Liv Morgan and Sonya Deville, which has seen the descent into extreme of the former SmackDown Women's champion, concluded Friday night with a No Disqualification Match.
A hard-hitting match centering on Morgan's intensifying aggression, it saw the competitors exchange control of the bout, with Deville appearing to have the match won following a devastating powerbomb onto steel chairs.
The resilient Morgan fought through the pain, fought from underneath and scored the win with ObLIVion.
A good match with some impressive weapon shots, it highlighted the star that Morgan has become and proved that Deville is still a massively underutilized talent whose place in prominence should not be in question following her great run as a heel authority figure a year ago.
Result
Morgan defeated Deville

Ricochet vs. LA Knight
- LA Knight insulted Samantha Irvin at ringside, taking exception to her introduction of him in consecutive weeks. Ricochet defended his real-life girlfriend, wiping the loudmouth heel out with a tope suicida.
- Knight smartly grabbed his opponent's foot, halting his momentum.
- Ricochet, rocking pink and black gear, took the Bret Hart sternum-first bump into the corner.
- The babyface's standing shooting star press earned him only a two-count.
Credit: WWE.comLA Knight made his match with Ricochet personal early, targeting his opponent's girlfriend, ring announcer Samantha Irvin before the bell. Ricochet took exception and took the fight to the former Maximum Male Model.
Knight turned the tide heading into the break and worked over Ricochet, unloading his arsenal on The One and Only. The babyface absorbed everything thrown at him and appeared to be en route to a victory late as he scaled the ropes.
The heel evaded the high-flying assault, reversed a rollup, and scored the tainted win via a handful of tights and ropes.
Take two very good wrestlers, put them in the ring with each other and a few minutes to work with and the result will a quality match. This felt more like the first chapter in a rivalry more than just a match for the sake of having one, which bodes well for both men.
It has been a long time since Ricochet has been involved in an actual program while Knight working with someone of his caliber is a great way to introduce the charismatic heel to the SmackDown audience.
More of this, please.
Result
Knight defeated Ricochet

Bray Wyatt Speaks; The Usos Address The Brawling Brutes
- "I'm not the type of person who likes to share their feelings," Wyatt mused.
- "It makes it even more difficult for me to do when people play with me like that. When they try to interrupt me when I'm trying to do something."
- "All I want to do is take you over there and smash your head into that light post!" Wyatt exclaimed, enraged that a stage hand had cut him off.

Back in the ring, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos cut a promo about their title defense against The Brawling Brutes' Butch and Ridge Holland Saturday at Crown Jewel.
The New Day's Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods interrupted and called next, stating their intention to challenge for the gold next. The Brutes attacked from out of nowhere and New Day exited. The arrival of Sami Zayn and Solo Sikoa gave the heels the numbers advantage as a beatdown ensued.
Despite a comeback attempt by Butch, Sikoa put an exclamation point on the segment, laying him out with the Spinning Solo.
This was a smartly constructed segment in that it gave fans a look at things to come after Crown Jewel, put over the tenacity of Butch and the ferocity of Sikoa as the indestructible force he has
The Wyatt stuff was great but, as has been the case since his return, it was more about planting the seeds for the inevitable revelation of whatever this incarnation of Wyatt looks like.

Intercontinental Championship Match: Rey Mystero vs. GUNTHER
- Mysterio delivered a springboard bulldog to take GUNTHER down and start his comeback attempt.
- GUNTHER launched his challenger from the top rope like a ragdoll.
- Mysterio delivered a Code Red for a great near-fall.
- The champion uncorked a shotgun dropkick and powerbomb but could not keep his opponent down.
Credit: WWE.comThe much-hyped match between No. 1 contender Rey Mysterio and Intercontinental champion GUNTHER headlined Friday's show.
The Ring General dominated the competition early, overwhelming the future Hall of Famer with his size and power advantages. The pesky Mysterio teased a comeback on several occasions but the champion cut him down and continued to work him over.
Down the stretch, the all-timer did mount that comeback and came within seconds of dethroning the Austrian. Instead, GUNTHER managed to thwart his comeback attempt and deliver a lariat clothesline for the win.
This was a fantastic match that further proved how superb an in-ring talent the champion is while reaffirming the greatness of Mysterio. At age 47, he is having better matches than wrestlers half his age and low-key entering his name in contention for G.O.A.T. status.
These two had extraordinary in-ring chemistry and a rematch or two would not be a bad thing. For now, GUNTHER continued his reign of dominance, begging the question: who will be strong enough to finally take the title away from him?
Result
GUNTHER defeated Mysterio to retain
