WWE SmackDown started on an extremely weird note as the wrestling company went ahead with their tradition of art imitating life.
In what felt like news coverage, we see Elias being stretchered in an ambulance after a car was rammed into his. It turns out it was Jeff Hardy's car with the wrestler being shown as inebriated and arrested on the charges of a hit-and-run.
Sound familiar? Given Jeff's DUI history, one wonders what the reasoning behind this angle was but that was not all for The Charismatic Enigma, who made his return later on in the night.
Moreover, the main event on SmackDown was set between Daniel Bryan and Sheamus with the winner set to battle AJ Styles, two weeks later, for the vacated Intercontinental Championship.
