What happened with Braun Strowman, Liv Morgan, and others after WWE SmackDown went off the air?

Braun Strowman, Matt Riddle, Liv Morgan, and many others were in action in a Multi-Person Tag Team match after SmackDown went off the air.

Tonight's WWE SmackDown didn't feature top names like Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, and Ronda Rousey. The dark match before the show saw Shinsuke Nakamura defeat Drew Gulak in singles action.

After SmackDown went off the air, fans were treated to another dark match featuring several popular names. Matt Riddle, Braun Strowman, Madcap Moss, & Liv Morgan teamed up in a winning effort against Legado Del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde, Cruz Del Toro, and Zelina Vega) & Damian Priest.

As per PWinsider, the bout lasted about 15 minutes with the majority of the time being dedicated to Moss being beaten up by the villains. The beatdown continued until Strowman entered the ring and put everyone down in his path.
