– As noted, SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan has announced a tournament for the WWE United States Title after saying Dolph Ziggler’s recent actions show that he has voluntarily relinquished the belt. Two first-round matches took place on tonight’s SmackDown – Bobby Roode defeated Baron Corbin and Jinder Mahal defeated Tye Dillinger.
