Here are the Top 5 Jaw-Dropping Moments from WWE SmackDown.

#1. Roman Reigns' Betrayal: The Usos' failed attempt at reasoning with Roman Reigns took an unexpected turn when Reigns low-blowed Jey Uso, leaving fans shocked and heartbroken. The subsequent brutal beatdown by Reigns and Solo Sikoa showcased the depths of Reigns' villainous persona.



#2. Jey Uso's Vengeance: Seeking justice for his brother, Jey Uso made return later in the night with a steel chair in hand. His demand for Reigns to pay for his actions added an intense layer to their ongoing rivalry. It seems like the fans will finally get to witness an intense showdown between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso at SummerSlam.

#3. Austin Theory's Controversial Win: In a fiercely contested match against Sheamus, United States Champion Austin Theory managed to escape with his title intact. With the help of Kit Wilson and Elton Prince, Theory capitalized on distractions, mocking Sheamus and ultimately using underhanded tactics to steal the victory.

#4. AJ Styles' Triumph over Karrion Kross: In another showdown, “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles took down Karrion Kross, and it was Michin that proved to be the equalizer in the matchup. Despite Kross' domination, Styles showcased his ability and athleticism to steal a victory. With Michin's unexpected interference neutralizing Scarlett's involvement, Styles seized the opportunity and secured a hard-fought win.

#5. Edge's Lesson in Respect: Grayson Waller's disrespectful remarks laid the foundation for an epic clash with the iconic Edge. Waller's prospects for a bright future became even more apparent when he was given the opportunity to share the ring with none other than John Cena at Money In The Bank. If there was any doubt about Waller's potential, it was surely dispelled by his interaction with Edge. Many within the creative team believe that Waller possesses the necessary skills, both in the realm of wrestling and on the microphone, to ascend to the status of a main eventer in the years to come. However, Edge's wealth of experience and calculated focus on Waller's vulnerable ribs ultimately enabled him to unleash a resounding Spear upon his adversary.
