Tonight’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown marked the debut of the WWE ThunderDome, the brand new arena in which shows will be taking place. While Vince McMahon initially came out to talk about it, however, he was quickly interrupted by The Fiend, Braun Strowman, and Retribution.
Shortly after teasing what will happen at WWE’s SummerSlam, McMahon was interrupted by The Fiend, who came out and stared down the chairman. Almost immediately after, Braun Strowman made his way to the ring, where he and his future opponent stared each other down before being interrupted by Retribution, the group that has recently been causing chaos across WWE. After surrounding The Fiend and Strowman, The Fiend disappeared from the ring, leaving Strowman alone to take a beating. Thankfully for Strowman, several WWE superstars came running down to the ring, chasing away Retribution and defending their ring for the time being.
