The latest edition of Friday Night SmackDown was stacked with some huge matches and segment. It has been noted that before SmackDown went live, there was a non-televised match in front of the live audience, featuring Ashante ‘Thee’ Adonis and Cameron Grimes. Interestingly, B-Fab accompanied Adonis, and she made a reference to Top Dolla, as reported by fans who were in attendance and shared their observations on social media. In the end, it was Cameron Grimes who emerged as the victor in this match.
WWE recently had the first round of talent releases after completing their merger with UFC under TKO Group Holdings earlier this month. The two combat sports giants officially completed their merger on September 12. The new entity known as TKO Group Holdings made its stock market debut soon after at the New York Stock Exchange.
The merger lead to mass layoffs only days after. It has been noted that the layoffs didn’t stop with office employees only. As expected, the promotion has begun laying off some of the on-screen talents as well.
