WWE SmackDown Results (June 28, 2024)

WWE officials ran down to break things up.

Back from the break, Rhodes, Orton, and Owens took out the security team. Owens, Orton, and Cody vowed to put The Bloodline at MITB. SmackDown GM Nick Aldis brought the police with him to escort the three away from the ring.

Michin asked Nick Aldis for a singles match with Nia. The Street Profits wanted a match with The Bloodline. Pretty Deadly proposed a musical, but Montez Ford suggested a match instead.

Solo was with Heyman backstage. Paul asked Solo to let him know where Jacob Fatu is. Solo said he listened to Heyman's advice and claimed Jacob isn't here tonight.
