WWE Smackdown Live Coverage And Results (10/17) Seattle, Washington

Welcome to Smackdown Live and we are live from Seattle, Washington. The show kicks off with Smackdown GM Daniel Bryan making his way out to the ring

Daniel Bryan says it's great to be home. Daniel says tonight will be a very special edition of Smackdown Live featuring a six woman tag. There will also be a very special announcement from WWE Champion Jinder Mahal. Bryan says he also wants to address Sami Zayn's actions at Hell In A Cell. When he first became GM of Smackdown he said he always wanted Sami Zayn on Smackdown Live....Bryan is then interrupted by Sami Zayn who makes his way down to the ring.

Bryan says after everything he did, Zayn comes out to the ring dancing and smiling. Daniel asks if this is the same Sami Zayn he's known for 13 years. Sami says he's still the same guy he just took ownership of his career and asks if that makes him a bad guy. He gets that the people think that makes him a bad guy but thought Daniel would get him

Sami says he and Daniel are not the same. There are some similarities. But the big difference is Bryan had the fans. The fans made Daniel Bryan the superstar he is but when it comes to Sami Zayn, the fans didn't uphold their end of the agreement. Zayn says if Daniel had done the same thing he did he wouldnt have been forced to retire.

Zayn says this breaks his heart more than the fans and praises Bryan saying he always tried to catch up but Daniel was always two steps ahead but now Bryan is the last person Zayn would want to be like. A man who broke his body for the adulation of the fans only to end up a housewife

Kevin Owens then comes out. Owens says he's so happy that Sami has seen the light and started listening to everything Owens has been saying. Although everything Zayn said about Daniel was right, now he's become a hypocrite. Bryan says he sees through Owens and only cares about himself and Owens resents him because he cares about doing what's best for the fans. Owens says Bryan means he cares about doing what's best for business and Owens calls Bryan The Authority.

Sami says Owens is right again, Bryan's become The Authority everything he's spent his entire life fighting against and there's only one word to describe Bryan....sellout

Bryan exits the ring and Owens asks where Daniel is going. Bryan stops and says he's going to go find a couple of dudes to punch Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in the face
