WWE's Carmelo Hayes, Tama Tonga, and Randy Orton move on in the King of the Ring Tournament on SmackDown
The Men's King and Queen of the Ring Tournament continued on SmackDown, and the first match of the night was between two new SmackDown additions Baron Corbin and Carmelo Hayes. The second match was between Angelo Dawkins and The Bloodline's Tama Tonga, while the third match was between AJ Styles and Randy Orton. Hayes would get a major win early in his SmackDown run, and The Bloodline would successfully get Tonga onto the next round.
In the second match, Tonga went right after Dawkins, charging forward and getting him caught up in the corner. Then Tonga came right back and delivered even more strikes and punches to Dawkins, knocking him down in the opposite corner. Dawkins dodged a charge and went on a run, leaving Tonga dizzy after a dropkick and then sending him to the floor out of the ring.
The third match of the night was Styles vs Orton, and these two wasted no time in going after each other. Orton had the edge early, knocking the Phenomenal One to the mat and celebrating a bit with the crowd. Orton continued to control the match, connecting with multiple punches in the corner and dropping Styles to the mat shortly afterwards.
Orton slammed Styles down on the table a second time and even gave the crowd a bow. Styles ran around the ring and connected with a chop block on Orton, and he immediately grabbed his knee in pain. Styles used that to his advantage and kept targeting the knee in the ring, but Orton was able to push him away and knock him to the floor to get some much-needed time to breathe. Orton couldn't plant on his left leg but still had enough to slam Styles down with two lariats.
