Following an angle on last night’s WWE SmackDown, it will now be AJ Styles vs. Daniel Bryan in the finals of the Intercontinental Title Tournament on WWE SmackDown in two weeks.
Last night’s show opened up with a hit-and-run accident in the parking lot of the WWE Performance Center. Elias was hit by a car and the driver of the vehicle fled the scene.
During the segment, it was revealed to be Jeff Hardy’s rental car with a bottle of alcohol found in it. A disoriented Hardy was found and taken into custody by local police. Elias was taken away by ambulance, and thus removed from the WWE Intercontinental Title Tournament.
The semifinal matches were supposed to be Daniel Bryan vs. Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles vs. Elias.
