WWE SmackDown on March 20 closed with a chaotic and dangerous scene involving Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu, as their escalating rivalry reached a point where even security struggled to keep control — and the final moments left more questions than answers.
The show had already been defined by their ongoing conflict, but the closing sequence took things to a level that felt less like a match build and more like a collision course with no brakes.
Drew McIntyre and Jacob Fatu crash off scaffold in SmackDown closing scene
The tension between McIntyre and Fatu had been building all night. Earlier, McIntyre ambushed Fatu in the parking lot, pulling him through a car windshield and leaving him bloodied before officials intervened.
Later, Fatu returned the favor, attacking McIntyre at ringside and driving him through the announce table with a diving splash.
Even backstage, the fight refused to stay contained. The two continued to trade blows, turning SmackDown into a battleground where every corner felt like a potential flashpoint. At that stage, it was clear this wasn’t just personal — it was spiraling.
The final moments came after another segment drew attention to the back. Footage showed McIntyre and Fatu fighting on an elevated scaffold, with officials scrambling to reach them. Both men hung dangerously over the edge as the situation quickly went from volatile to outright perilous.
Fatu struck first, smashing McIntyre into the guardrail. In response, McIntyre lost his footing — but not without taking Fatu with him. The two crashed off the platform together, disappearing from view as the broadcast cut away, leaving the impact unseen.
The segment capped off a night that began with destruction and ended the same way — only this time, from a much higher risk. With WrestleMania 42 approaching, their rivalry has gone from heated to hazardous.
If this was the go-home message, it landed hard — even if the final landing remains unknown.
