1) James Ellsworth Was [Supposed To Be] BANNED From The Arena!
This week’s episode of Smackdown Live kicked off with Daniel Bryan. He was immediately interrupted by Carmella and James Ellsworth who wanted justice for having the Money in the Bank briefcase taken away last week.
After Ellsworth took a couple of [verbal] shots at Bryan, he was kicked out of the arena! Security escorted him away after a bit of a struggle:

As we later found out, this wouldn’t stop Ellsworth from returning to the show.
2) The Hype Bros’ Championship Dreams Were Denied
The first match of the night on Smackdown Live had big implications for the tag team division. The Hype Bros faced off against the Usos. If they were able to win, they would earn a shot at the Smackdown Tag Team titles.
The Usos were able to win the match and ended the Championship hopes of the Hype Bros.
They’ve been winning since DAY ONE, and that doesn’t change tonight as the @WWEUsos crush the #HypeBros‘ hopes on #SDLive! pic.twitter.com/nfESquzZfi

Does this fuel some of the fire for a Hype Bros split? We will have to wait and see.
