Jey Uso, Chad Gable, & Drew McIntyre Makes SmackDown Appearance on Friday’s SmackDown Show

Friday’s WWE SmackDown show featured RAW brand talents Jey Uso, Chad Gable, and Drew McIntyre making a surprise appearance on the show.

Uso came out to the ring and talked about tomorrow being Money in the Bank and asked the crowd if they wanted him to be Mr. Money in the Bank winner to give him a “Yeet”, which the crowd did in response. This led to LA Knight’s music playing to interrupt Uso and came out to the ring. Knight responded to Uso asking the crowd if they want to see him win Money in the Bank. After some more words, Knight stated that he has all the respect in the world for Jey because he was part of that goofy family and now its just him. Knight stated that the way he will show Jey respect tomorrow is by showing him none at all. After some more words, Knight and Uso engaged in a “Yeah” and “Yeet” catchphrase standoff that was interrupted by Carmelo Hayes’s music and him coming out. After some insults directed towards Uso and Knight about nobody wants to hear “Yeet” and “Yeah” and Knight’s issues with Logan Paul, Gable’s music played and he came out next.

YEET or YEAH?!

Gable stated that unlike everyone else, he has been living in his own personal hell for the last few weeks over how his family left him high and dry, he got whacked in the head, and he got the Wyatt Sicks after him for reasons he does not understand. Before Gable was able to say anything else, Andrade’s music played to interrupt him and talked about how they are all talking about how their dream is to win the Money in the Bank but dreams don’t win matches, especially a dangerous match like Money in the Bank.

Before Andrade could say anything else, McIntyre’s music played interrupting him and made his way out to the ring. This led to a loud “CM Punk” chant from the crowd which led to McIntyre stating that he expected better from Canada considering they part of the Commonwealth. McIntyre stated that Punk is not here but his family is always with him and lifted up the CM Punk bracelet on his wrist. After some threatening words to everyone in the ring, McIntyre proceeded to run down each of his opponents in the Money in the Bank match. McIntyre called Andrade an “El Idiot” for laying down on the top rope blocking his way into the ring, told Gable for being bad for him, insulted Hayes saying he is not “him” and he is looking at the real “him”, insulted Knight saying that “Yeah” is not the word he will need tomorrow and it will be “No”, and insulted Uso asking how he was able to get across the border. This led to a Andrade attacking McIntyre and a mass brawl breaking out that ended with Uso and Knight standing tall in the ring after everyone else was tossed out.

👊 It’s going down! 👊

With EVERYTHING at stake tomorrow, we just got a #MITB preview TONIGHT on #SmackDown! pic.twitter.com/6gXrcFPiAX
