The series between Andrade El Idolo and Carmelo Hayes appears to have been a best of five and the winner is... the former United States Champion Andrade.

El Idolo utilized an Avalache Message to score the decisive third victory over a more than game Carmelo Hayes Friday night.

It didn't take LA Knight long at all after the match's conclusion to make his way out to address the fine folks of Seattle who attended SmackDown.

He congratulated Andrade on winning the 'Hit it and Quit it' Sweepstakes and informed him that they will battle it out next week on SmackDown with the United States Championship on the line.

Will LA Knight be onto the next or will Andrade become a two-time United States Champion? Will Carmelo Hayes accept defeat or will he get involved in Andrade's business once again? We'll have the results of next Friday's big title match covered for you right here on the TakeDown.
