The latest WWE SmackDown episode unveiled another faction, bringing forth a chilling revelation of their official name. ‘The Pride’ was the first faction to emerge in the ring, despite Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits arriving without a confirmed group name, even though they had hinted at ‘The Pride’ on Twitter.
As Lashley started addressing the audience, their moment was disrupted by the ominous entrance of Paul Ellering, who eerily pointed towards the Tron, revealing a video.
The Authors of Pain, introduced by Karrion Kross and Scarlett, were confirmed as members of the faction, collectively identified as ‘The Last Testament.’
In a backstage scene post-revelation, Bobby Lashley and the Street Profits were seen walking backstage when Paul Heyman approached Lashley. Attempting to recruit Lashley as the third member for the main event alongside Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa, Heyman faced a resolute rejection from Lashley.
Elsewhere in the SmackDown episode, a significant development unfolded as Bayley suffered defeat in a match against Bianca Belair, despite the presence of Damage CTRL at ringside.
