This week’s episode of Smackdown saw Jinder Mahal defeat Tye Dillinger and Bobby Roode defeat Baron Corbin as part of the tournament’s first round matchups. The other matches for the first round were revealed to be Zack Ryder vs. Mojo Rawley and Xavier Woods vs. Aiden English. Mahal will be facing the winner of the Woods vs. English match while Roode will be facing the winner of the Ryder vs. Rawley match.
