Gunther was active following this week’s episode of SmackDown.
The SNME Go-Home episode of the Blue Branded Show took place at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. In the main event, Jimmy Uso teamed with LA Knight to face Solo Sikoa and J.C. Mateo in a wild and chaotic match.
Tara Tonga was ringside during the match, and Paul Heyman appeared near the end. The finish saw Knight get distracted by Heyman, allowing Tonga to remove him from the action. Meanwhile, Jimmy Uso took advantage of the chaos to roll up Solo and secure the win for his team.
Other members of the faction followed Bell, leaving Solo alone in the ring. Knight then struck Solo with the BFT, but Heyman intervened again, leading to Bron Blaker delivering a massive spear. The broadcast wrapped up with Bronson Reed hitting a tsunami on LA Knight.
