Tonight’s SmackDown couldn’t quite match the insanity of Monday Night Raw, but it was still a well-received episode overall, featuring progress on several major storylines.
The main event saw a match between Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin, but we also saw a few more matches in the Tag Team Championship tournament, including one against The Hype Bros and the returning Headbangers, and another during which Heath Slater and Rhyno actually advanced to the next round.
Here are some of the best reactions and memes from throughout the show, presented in the order that they occurred.

Wow, this is twice this year they've actually given Dolph the ball. Are they gonna let him run with it? #SDLive #SmackDown
