Supposedly all the hype for Smackdown's new home and changes just ended up being a new announcer getting added. Everything else (ex. theme, graphics, stage, etc) is the same as before.
Quote:
Dark Match:
* Owen White defeated Chris Jericho by DQ to retain the Smackdown Dark Match Championship. Good back and forth match to a mostly empty arena with the finish being Jericho trying to apply an arm bar before getting hit with a low blow. White started a Bo Dallas-inspired victory celebration before Vince interrupted and fired White on the spot for goofing off again. Vince once again mistook White for a ring crew member.
Exclusive footage of White's departure from Smackdown:

Smackdown:
* Mauro Ranallo and Byron Saxton make their way down to join Jerry Lawler on commentary
* John Cena kicks off SmackDown and comes out to a big pop. Cena cuts a promo and wants his rematch against WWE United States Champion Alberto Del Rio because of how their recent RAW match ended. Del Rio refuses Cena's request and taunts him
* Kalisto defeated Alberto Del Rio in a great non-title match
- The Miz is out for Miz TV but is interrupted by WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day. They talk about Chris Jericho but are interrupted by Dolph Ziggler, then Goldust. R-Truth and Neville also come out. This leads to a match
* Dolph Ziggler, Goldust, R-Truth and Neville defeated The New Day and The Miz. Ziggler was the last man standing after the match
* Becky Lynch vs. WWE Divas Champion Charlotte with Ric Flair is next. Charlotte retains after an assist from Flair
* Kevin Owens vs. Dean Ambrose for the WWE Intercontinental Title ends in a double count out as they brawl around ringside and to the back
