WWE SmackDown Results: Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights From October 18

Welcome to Bleacher Report’s live coverage of WWE SmackDown on October 18.

Here is a look at what WWE hyped for this week’s show:

Roman Reigns confronts Solo Sikoa
Cody Rhodes addresses Gunther
Motor City Machine Guns make their debut
Let’s take a look at everything that happened on Friday’s episode of SmackDown
SmackDown opened with five minutes of video packages before The New Bloodline came out to kick off the live show. Sikoa said Reigns and Jimmy Uso would acknowledge him by the end of the night.

Jey Uso’s music hit and he came through the crowd. He said he cares about Solo because they are still brothers. He told Solo to think about what he is doing to the family.

The segment ended with no fighting and no real resolution. It felt like WWE wasted the first 20 minutes of the show and got nothing done. Some of this will come into play later, but for now, the opening segment felt like filler.
