The first-ever WWE SmackDown on FOX Bar Fight took place as the main event of Friday night’s episode. The match saw Jeff Hardy defeat Sheamus.
WWE filmed the Bar Fight ahead of Friday night’s show, at an establishment called Irish Shannon’s Pub on Church Street in Orlando, Florida.
The match saw Sheamus’ personal bartender get involved and attack Hardy shortly before the finish. The bartender was played by indie wrestler Vinny McParland, known as Vinny Mac. He’s the same person who appeared on the July 3 SmackDown episode as Sheamus’ bartender.
SmackDown featured two pre-recorded segments that saw WWE Hall of Famer JBL hype the Bar Fight, including the opening video package.
It’s believed that the Bar Fight is the end to the feud between Hardy and Sheamus.
Below are several shots from Friday night’s Bar Fight:
