– The show also featured the long-awaited return of Aleister Black, who came out as The Miz was babbling in the ring about his many WWE accomplishments not being enough to earn him consideration as Randy Orton’s opponent at WrestleMania 41 when Kevin Owens went down with injury, or for El Grande Americano when Rey Mysterio went down with an injury. Black laid out Miz with his Black Mass finisher to a huge crowd reaction. Click here for complete SmackDown results.
