Earlier tonight, three top stars clashed with The Bloodline during this week's episode of WWE SmackDown. At a point in the brawl, one of the finishing moves of certain AEW stars was used. This was FTR's Shatter Machine.

Moments ago, Kevin Owens was on the mic, giving his thoughts on Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns partnering up to face The Bloodline before he was interrupted by the faction. They then surrounded him in the ring and Jacob Fatu ended up throwing hands with The Prizefighter.

Since it was a three-on-one fight, it was DIY who came to KO's aid. They have a lot of history with each other as Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa's recent tag team title reign came to an end after Tama Tonga and Jacob Fatu beat them for the titles with Bloodline assistance.

During the brawl, DIY set themselves up for a Shatter Machine on Tama Tonga. This was seemingly their way of paying tribute to one of their long-time rivals during their NXT days, the FTR. They have previously also incorporated this into their tag team's move set.

Moments later, SmackDown GM Nick Aldis came out to reveal that all six men will face off in tonight's main event which will surely be something great for the WWE Universe to stay tuned in for.
