WWE's SmackDown Live will be moving to Friday nights on Fox starting October 4, and they've lined up an explosive main event for the premiere episode.
On last night's episode of SmackDown Live, former WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar made a surprise appearance and his advocate, Paul Heyman, issued a challenge to WWE Champion Kofi Kingston. Naturally, Kofi accepted and he was thanked moments later with a vicious F5, courtesy of The Beast Incarnate.
