The past 14 days have been dreadful, to say the least, for Andrade in WWE. Last week on SmackDown, he couldn’t convert a stellar performance into a shot at the United States title. He lost to Santos Escobar following Carmelo Hayes‘ interference, who’s been peeving Andrade since Money in the Bank. Last night, both men got one more opportunity to settle their differences.
They were hooping in there like cruiserweights. It was their third encounter over the past month, and Andrade was leading 2-0 coming into this week. But it wasn’t to be a third time lucky for the reigning WWE Speed Champion as he went down to Melo. Taking it to X, the Mexican wrestler borrowed a monologue from Al Pacino‘s 1983 starrer, Scarface. The eyes, Chico, they never lie, said El Edolo, sending a warning shot to his arch-nemesis.
For those wondering otherwise, Melo and Edolo are far from done. After their match was over, they got into a heated brawl. A number of officials had to be summoned in order to quell the ongoing onslaught in the ring. The fans in attendance were having a ball at the sight, with chants of let them fight reverberating through the arena.

After a while, the men at loggerheads were finally separated. Where on one hand, there’s agony for Andrade, his foe, Carmelo Hayes, is ecstatic. He also sent a bold message after his impressive outing on SmackDown. By the looks of it, this feud is heading towards a best-of-five or seven series. Even though Hayes is trailing 1-2 at the moment, he’d bet on himself to draw things level. Whatever that might be, the fans want to see them dupe it out in the decider at a PLE rather than a TV match.
The Bloodline brutalized Roman Reigns to close out SmackDown
In the main event, Solo Sikoa once again called out Roman Reigns to acknowledge him face-to-face. The OTC arrived to a thunderous ovation and went right after the self-proclaimed Tribal Chief, who had Tama Tonga in his corner.
Despite having numbers against him, Reigns managed to stand tall. He even salvaged the revered Ula Fala and bestowed it upon himself, but not for long. Roman got blindsided by a returning Jacob Fatu. The Samoan Werewolf single-handedly flattened Reigns.
The assault must’ve taken a toll on The Head of the Table, as he was put through the commentary desk, courtesy of the triple powerbomb by Fatu, Solo, and Tonga. Roman desperately needs some backup if he wants to stand a chance against the sadistic antics of the new Bloodline.
