WWE held two dark matches before tonight’s SummerSlam go-home edition of SmackDown at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
The first pre-show dark match featured a battle of WWE NXT Superstars as Ridge Holland defeated Austin Theory.
The second match saw Keith Lee work as a heel as he picked up another squash match win over local talent “Awesome” Andy Palafox.
