Rate tonight's episode of Smackdown Live and make sure to leave a comment or two to let everyone know what you thought of it.
Opening
John Cena went through one of his general spiels about being fired up. He then talked about the Nakamura match from the previous week. When he began talking about Nakamura and shaking hands, Baron Corbin came out and commented that he was the future and Cena was the past. Cena pointed to a sign in the audience that mocked Corbin. Cena challenged Corbin to a match but Corbin told Cena he wasn't worth Corbin's time.
Then as Corbin was leaving, he was interrupted by Daniel Bryan. Bryan made a match at Summerslam between Corbin and Cena.
The Usos vs Sami Zayn and Tye Dillinger
The Usos won by submission
Fashion Peaks
Fandango claims he was abducted by aliens and that anal probes and wardrobes were the reasons he didn't leave, even though he could whenever he wanted. They were then approached by Arn Anderson and made a comment about him hurting Tully the Horse, but Arn obviously thought they meant Tully Blanchard. He took two donuts and left.
Charlotte Flair vs Lana
Charlotte won by submission
US Title Match Interview
Shane McMahon came to the ring to interview both AJ Styles and Kevin Owens. Shane reminded KO that he mentioned Shane couldn't be unbiased. KO said he was wrong and that he shouldn't assume that Shane would try to screw him as a McMahon already tried to screw a famous Canadian, referencing the Montreal Screwjob. As the crowd chanted "You screwed Bret," KO then told them that Bret deserved it but that he wouldn't. Then he said he wasn't worried about Shane being biased because AJ and Shane had a match at Mania.
AJ then accused KO of trying to stir the pot. AJ said if Shane tried to screw him that Shane would pay the consequences... and that he didn't trust a McMahon. Shane told AJ he wasn't like that, but then KO showed a match between Steve Austin and Mankind in which Shane screwed Austin.
Shane insisted he would call the match right down the middle and would not get involved unless he has to. He then warned both guys to not give him a reason to get involved. AJ then challenged KO to an immediate title match. But KO declined because he wanted to win the US title in the US in a city that mattered. AJ told KO that this was the closest he would get to the US title. KO hit AJ and Shane then tried to hold KO back. AJ went to hit KO with a pele kick but hit Shane instead. KO left the ring.
Naomi vs Carmella
Carmella won by pin fall due to interference by Ellsworth. Backstage, Natalya approached them after the match and told them to stay out her title match at Summerslam.
Grudge Match: Randy Orton vs Jinder Mahal
Randy Orton pinned Mahal. Right as the show ended, Rusev attacked Orton with a kick.
