Smackdown Live:
Ontario, California
June 18th:


*SWAMP GAS*
Smackdown Live starts off with Luke Harper making his way to the ring getting boos from the California crowd. Byron Saxton and Corey Graves welcome us to Smackdown Live and inform us we are starting the show off with a 6 man tag as Luke Harper and The War Raiders take on Finn Balor, Buddy Murphy, and Ricochet. Corey mentions Shane was kind enough to make this match as a way for Harper's opponents to get their hands on him in a fair fight.

*WAR*

The War Raiders make their way to the ring as they have their Smackdown tag team titles on their shoulders as they march to the ring. Bray Wyatt walks behind them as he seems to be feeding them instructions. Byron brings up the history between Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt explaining why he went to his former leader for help.


*OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE WORLD*

Buddy Murphy makes his way out to the ring looking angry. Corey on commentary says Murphy has been complaining on Twitter about the fact he is not getting a one on one shot with Luke Harper and Corey wonders if Murphy, Ricochet, and Balor can get along.


*ONE AND ONLY*

Ricochet makes his way to the ring next getting a pop from the crowd. He makes his way down the ramp joining Buddy Murphy at the bottom of the ramp as Buddy Murphy is already mouthing off at Ricochet as neither man seems happy about teaming up tonight.


*CATCH YOUR BREATH*

The Intercontinental champion makes his way down to the ring last as he shows off his title getting the attention of all 5 men at ringside. He walks to the ring getting a good reaction from the live crowd as he joins his two teammates for tonight as they climb into the ring. However right from the start, the trio can't agree who starts the match. The argument goes on until Buddy steps into the ring as Finn and Ricochet shake their heads. Corey notes if they are already having problems what chance do they have in this match?


Match 1: Finn Balor, Buddy Murphy and Ricochet vs Luke Harper and The War Raiders w/Bray Wyatt

Match summary:
Rowe starts for the War Raiders as Buddy Murphy tries to come at him with his usual pace but Erik is too powerful. Buddy struggling early slaps Ricochet on the chest bringing him into the match, annoying Ricochet. Ricochet steps into the ring as Erik has tagged in Hanson. Ricochet smiles being familiar with the War Raiders as both men start to battle in the center of the ring with Ricochet trying to take down Hanson with his speed.

Around the 10 minute mark, Luke Harper has yet to step into the ring annoying the other team but the War Raiders show off their impressive teamwork keeping the match even. Ricochet and Buddy meanwhile argue with each other throughout the match annoying Balor. In the closing stages Ricochet tags in Finn Balor over Buddy Murphy as they hit a double dropkick on Rowe.

Buddy though takes offense to this and spins round Ricochet. Both men have had enough though and dropkick Buddy Murphy out of the ring however this distraction allows Rowe to tag in Luke Harper as the War Raiders take advantage attacking Ricochet and Finn Balor. Murphy storms off to the back waving the match off as the War Raiders wipe out Ricochet with the fallout. Luke Harper then takes out Finn Balor with the Discuss clothesline and pins the Intercontinental champion for the win!


Winners via pinfall: Luke Harper and The War Raiders (13:26)

Luke Harper gets to his feet as he and The War Raiders stand tall in the ring over Ricochet and Finn Balor. Corey Graves on commentary mentions Luke Harper has to be next in line for a shot at the Intercontinental title after pinning the champion tonight. Byron mentions the lack of teamwork being the difference but now Buddy's actions could have pushed back his chance at fighting for the Intercontinental title.


Ad break

*THE TRUTH REIGNS*

We return from the commercial break as Roman Reigns makes his way out getting a loud pop from the live crowd. Byron on commentary tells us he took last week off to spend time with his family. Corey reminds us that at the Great American Bash he will be going one on one with Drew McIntyre and the winner will fight for the WWE title at Summerslam! Reigns is now in the ring as he looks to address the live crowd.


Roman Reigns: Last week I was sat at home with my family watching Smackdown Live and I heard Drew still wants a piece of me.

Reigns lets out a slight smile.

Roman Reigns: Drew anytime you want to fight me, I'll be here waiting for you. You don't need to bring your boys. Just come out here by yourself and I will kick your ass!

Cheers from the live crowd.

Roman Reigns: But Shane you made a massive mistake. You think you are handing a WWE title shot to Drew but you forget I never lost the WWE title.

Reigns points towards the crowd.

Roman Reigns: Everyone knows I was never beaten for the WWE title and I am coming back for my title! So not only will I destroy Drew but whether it is Randy Orton.

Mixed reaction from the crowd.

Roman Reigns: Or Kofi Kingston.

Loud cheers for the mention of the WWE champion as Reigns smiles slightly.

Roman Reigns: Listen I like him too but if he is still the champion come Summerslam I will take the title from him believe that!

For the first time since coming back, Reigns gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. Before Roman can respond, however...


*GALLANTRY*

Drew McIntyre marches out to the entrance ramp as he has a microphone of his own in his hands. Reigns in the ring gets ready for a fight.


Drew McIntyre: You think you are going to destroy me? Why wait for the Bash? Let's do this right now.

Drew drops the microphone keeping it short and sweet as Reigns climbs out of the ring and joins Drew on the entrance ramp as the two men start clobbering each other with massive blows. This goes on for a few seconds with neither man gaining the upper hand until Baron Corbin and Elias run out getting boos from the crowd as they look to help Drew McIntyre.

Drew does not look happy to see them but accepts the help from the pair. They both grab hold of Roman and start to beat him down. Drew meanwhile lines Roman up as he looks like he is going to go for the claymore until Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn run out with a steel chair to even the odds. They clatter Drew in the back before hitting Elias and Baron Corbin!

Corbin and Elias realize they are in trouble and get the hell out of dodge as they take Drew McIntyre with them. Drew looks annoyed to have been forced to run away from a fight again by the Corporation but accepts it. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens help their ally in recent times Roman Reigns to his feet as they stare down the Corporation. Byron is glad that Owens and Zayn were able to make their way out here so quickly whilst Corey once again questions if it is wise for them to cross the Corporation.


Ad break

We return from the commercial break with two local jobbers in the ring introduced as Mary Sue and Jane Doe as they await their opponents.



Isla Dawn and Nikki Cross make their way to the ring getting a decent reaction from the live crowd. Byron Saxton reminds us that Isla Dawn debuted as the friend Nikki was talking about playing with and saved her from an attack by the Iiconics. Corey responds telling Byron the pair are calling themselves the Twisted Sisters and says you would have to be a little insane to team with someone like Nikki Cross. Isla Dawn starts for the sisters whilst Mary Sue starts for their opponents.


Match 2: The twisted sisters (Nikki Cross and Isla Dawn) vs Mary Sue and Jane Doe

Match Summary:
The Twisted Sisters pick up the win, controlling the match with ease and in the end, Isla Dawn puts away Jane Doe with Black Magic giving the team a win in their début match together.


Winners via pinfall: The Twisted Sisters (2:07)

The crowd let out a few cheers as Bryon puts over how lethal Isla Dawn is and the wild frenzied offence of Nikki Cross will make them a tough challenge for anyone who gets in their way. Nikki and Isla meanwhile have asked for microphones as they look to speak.


Isla Dawn: For those of you who don't know me, I am the White Witch Isla Dawn. Now people have this idea about witches.

She lets out a slight smile whilst Nikki looks unhinged as always.

Isla Dawn: But I can assure you I don't sit in the forest cackling sat next to a cauldron. No, when I step in this ring magic happens and it is bad news for my opponents.

Nikki Cross: You’re so fun to play with.

Isla smiles as she looks at her partner and friend Nikki Cross.

Isla Dawn: Me and Nikki know each other from our homeland Scotland and we are here to become WWE women tag team champions.

Nikki nods very happy at the thought of becoming a champion as Isla carries on.

Isla Dawn: But one thing I didn't see written in the stars was the Iiconics losing the belts before we got our chance to face them.

Nikki Cross: They lost the toys we wanted to play with.

Isla Dawn: But the stars always offer a new path and we will...


*FEMME FATALE*

The Iiconics make their way out getting boos from the crowd as they do not look impressed with what the Twisted Sisters had to say.


Peyton Royce: Do not bring up that heinous robbery!

Billie Kay: Do you know how much of an injustice that was?

Peyton Royce: We were robbed and we are still petitioning for another rematch.

Billie Kay: I mean we were the longest reigning tag team champions of all time!

Peyton Royce: No team held and defended those titles longer than us.

Byron Saxton (on commentary):There has only been one other team who has held the belts!

Corey Graves (on commentary): Shut up Saxton!

Billie Kay: So as the longest-reigning champions...

Nikki Cross: Can you stop talking as Nikki wants to play!

Cheers from the crowd as the Iiconics do a shocked and offended face.

Isla Dawn: Me and Nikki didn't come together to talk. No, we want the Women tag team titles so what better way than beating you two.

Peyton Royce: You want a fight? Next week new girl I will beat you and show you what an Iconic champion looks like.

Isla Dawn: You are on but your fate is written in the stars and it doesn't look good I promise you.

Isla Dawn drops the microphone as the two teams stare each other down as the competition in the Women's tag team division is really starting to heat up.


Ad break

As we return from the commercial break Corey Graves informs us that Isla Dawn versus Peyton Royce has been made official for next week's Smackdown Live. Byron mentions that at Stomping Grounds this Sunday the Boss 'n' Hug Connection will be defending their tag team titles against Fire and Desire but they will have to keep their eyes on Smackdown as either the Iiconics or the Twisted Sisters could be next in line for a title shot.


*CELTIC INVASION*

Becky Lynch walks out to the ring with both her title belts on her shoulder as she has a smug smirk on her face. Byron Saxton reminds us that this Sunday Becky will defend her Raw Women's title in a street fight against the Glamazon Beth Phoenix. Corey mentions she faces a totally different threat in the first lady herself Lacey Evans! He tells us Lacey is hungry for success and has been saying on Twitter behind every great man there is a better lady. Back in the ring, Becky is stood ready to talk and address the live crowd.


Becky Lynch:
So in 6 nights time I step into the ring for a fight. And you best believe I'm focused on that. However, the Man is not just concerned with the present. No, I’m always looking to who I’m fighting in the future.

Becky Lynch paces up and down in the ring.

Becky Lynch: Last week I saw a little lady known as Lacey Evans earn the chance to fight the Man. So how about you come to this ring and the Man can see face to face whether you measure up.

Pop from the crowd as Becky seems fired up tonight as she waits for Lacey Evans to make her way out to the ring.


*LIKE A LADY*

Ask and you shall receive as the first lady of Smackdown Live Lacey Evans walks down the ramp with a fancy hat on her head as she mocks the crowd on the way down the ramp. However, instead of making her way to the ring Lacey turns around walking back up the ramp and around for another lap getting boos from the crowd. Becky though looks unimpressed.


Becky Lynch: Come on Lacey the man hasn't got all day.

The music stops and so does Lacey in the middle of the ramp, giving Becky a dirty look.

Lacey Evans: Did your momma not teach you any manners? Never interrupt a lady.

Lacey starts walking back to the ring as Becky chuckles to herself.

Becky Lynch: Big talk for a new kid on the block. I don't care whether you are a lady or not because all I see when I look at you is the next person in line for me to beat.

Lacey Evans: That is where you're wrong Becky because you have never faced someone like me before.

Becky Lynch: What a blond? No, I spent 9 months beating one of those on this very brand.

Cheers for the shots at her long term rival Charlotte Flair as Lacey does not look impressed being compared to someone else.

Lacey Evans: I'm nothing like Charlotte Flair. No, I wasn't born into this business. I had to go through war and the marines before I became the lady I am today. You think you had to fight? You ain't had half the fight I've had and I ain't waiting like you did to get to the top. I'm coming for the title now because no man can measure up to what a lady can do.

Boos from the crowd as Becky smiles.

Becky Lynch: Listen this is your first time at the top

Lacey Evans: And I intend on staying here.

Becky now gets in Lacey's face as neither women looks to back down.

Becky Lynch: Is that so? Listen you have 3 weeks until I smack you like the dope you are. I suggest you get ready. Cause right now, all I see is a green rookie in above her head!

Cheers from the crowd as Lacey looks annoyed. Becky goes to leave but Lacey goes to cheap shot her with the Woman's right! However, Becky sees it coming and grabs the arm of Lacey. However, before she can punish Lacey for the cheap shot attempt Lacey gets her arm free and slides out of the ring looking to retreat. Becky though turns to Lacey as she flees up the ramp.

Becky Lynch:
You think I wouldn't see that coming? I know all the tricks Lacey and if you are going coming to fight Becky2belts you will have to do better then that.

Becky throws the microphone down as Lacey Evans retreats up the ramp annoyed her plan tonight failed as Becky shows off her belts to the delight of the crowd. Byron also mentions Lacey is going to need to step her game up to take down the man but Corey says the first lady was just looking to fire an opening salvo and she will have more in the tank for sure.

We then cut backstage as we can see Heavy Machinery are backstage in catering as Otis Dozovic and Tucker Knight both have numerous plates in front of them as Otis can be seen finishing off a massive steak.


Tucker Knight: OK I think I'm stuffed. How about you Otis?

Otis Dozovic: Tucky I think even I'm full buddy.

Tucker Knight: There is no better way to get over our loss than some steaks.

Otis Dozovic: But what is the plan after this Tucky?

Tucker Knight: We get back on the weights and we focus on getting another shot!

Tucker high fives his friend as we cut to a hallway as we can see the Riott Squad walking to the ring. Corey Graves tells us we are going to see Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan of the Riott Squad facing Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon in a tornado tag team match and that is up next!


Ad break

*WE RIOT*

The Riott Squad march to the ring with Ruby Riott leading the way as the commentary team talk about this war between the Riott Squad, Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon starting before Money in the Bank and has been going on ever since. Corey tells us Shane McMahon made this match trying to bring this rivalry to an end.


*FREE THE FLAME*
*SPITEFUL*

Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon make their way out getting a decent pop from the crowd as they sprint down the ramp and join the Riott Squad in the ring. The referee gets both teams to back off before ringing the bell, getting this contest underway!


Match 3: Tornado tag team match: Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon vs Riott Squad (Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan) w/Ruby Riott

Match summary:
The match starts off with a bang as soon as the bell rings with both Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon charging at the Riott Squad and are even able to send them out of the ring to the outside. Alexa and Ember look at each other before hitting stereo dives to the outside wiping out Liv and Sarah! Alexa and Ember are in total control as the commentary team reminds us there are no count-outs due to the nature of a tornado tag team match.

Ruby Riott early on sees her girls are in trouble and looks to make her way towards Bliss on the outside. However as the referee looks the other way, Bliss fakes being attacked by Ruby Riott and lets out a scream! The referee looks over and sees Bliss on the ground next to Ruby Riott and ejects Ruby Riott from ringside getting loud cheers from the crowd.

From there the match is pure chaos which does favor the Riott Squad but Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon keep each other alive and show their improvement as a team, even catching the Riott Squad by surprise with some fun double team moves. In the end, Sarah Logan is attacking Bliss but Bliss counters hitting her with a snap DDT! Bliss makes the cover but Liv Morgan breaks it up at 2!

Liv Morgan starts to attack Alexa Bliss but Bliss looks to keep her still as we can see in the corner of the ring Ember Moon climbing to the top rope. Liv starts to realize what is going to happen but it is too late as Bliss pushes Liv into position as Ember hits her with the Eclipse! Ember makes the cover 1 2 Bliss blocks Sarah Logan 3! Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon pick up the win.


Winners via pinfall: Ember Moon and Alexa Bliss (12:08)

Sarah Logan pushes past Alexa Bliss to make the save but it is too late as Alexa Bliss jumps on her friend Ember Moon giving her a big hug as the pair are happy to walk away with the win tonight. Byron puts over the performance of Ember Moon and Alexa Bliss saying if they keep working this well as a team they could be the future of the Women's tag team division. The Riott Squad meanwhile sulk off unhappy to have come up short tonight.


Ad break

*FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIES*

As we return from the commercial break we hear loud boos from the WWE universe as Daniel Bryan makes his way out to the ring flanked by Erick Rowan as always. Daniel Bryan still has the hemp WWE title around his waist as Corey calls him the planet's champion. He steps into the ring and shakes his head at the booing crowd.


Daniel Bryan: You people just don't get it. I am constantly trying to save you people from yourself cause you are too stupid to know better.

Loud boos from the crowd as Daniel shakes his head.

Daniel Bryan: I try to tell you how you can save the planet and how your filthy habitats are destroying the planet but you just don't listen. I mean look at how hot it is in California and you people don't want to stop it from getting warmer? How selfish do you have to be to not drive your car for once and or just recycle?

Daniel Bryan holds his hemp WWE title in the air.

Daniel Bryan: People ask me why I carry this around with me and it shows they don't understand. This signifies I am not only the best superstar in the WWE but I will always be the planet's champion. I will always fight to save the planet you try to destroy. But there is one thing I won't recycle. Beating the Miz again.

Cheers for the mention of his name which angers Daniel Bryan.

Daniel Bryan: Fickle, fickle, fickle.

Bryan is getting red in the face as Erick Rowan stands behind him stoic as ever.

Daniel Bryan: You people used to hate The Miz and love me but you turned like the fickle sheep you are. But I will do you people a favor because you won't have to watch me beat The Miz like I always do.

Boos from the crowd as he once again refuses to fight The Miz.


*I CAME TO PLAY*

The Miz makes his way out in a nice suit, wearing a pair of sunglasses as Daniel Bryan rolls his eyes annoyed by The Miz's presence.


Daniel Bryan: NO NONO. Are you deaf? I will not fight you at The Great American Bash.

The Miz: Wow you really do love recycling. You're even bringing back the NO's? Next, you will actually bring back the YES movement.

Daniel Bryan: NO NO NO. That is dead and will stay dead.

The Miz: Oh I get it you have learned from me.

Daniel is furious in the ring as The Miz lets out a smile.

The Miz: You are trying my style of wrestling. I mean you do remember this.

The Miz points at the titantron as he replays that infamous talking smack segment between him and Daniel Bryan. We then cut back to The Miz who has now climbed into the ring joining a furious Daniel Bryan.

The Miz: But I think you forgot my soft style actually involved me fighting people, not hiding like a coward.

Daniel Bryan: Why should I fight you Miz? Why should I waste my time beating you again? I could be saving the planet, I could be fighting for the title that should be mine. Why should I fight you?

The Miz slaps Bryan in the face. This makes Erick Rowan step forward in between the pair as The Miz smiles but moves slightly out of reach, too smart to let Rowan get his hands on him.

The Miz: Because you hate me more than anyone back there and you are sum up everything I hate. You think that I didn't work as hard as you to get where I am and you look down on anyone who thinks differently than you. Come on Bryan what is it going to take for you to give me what I want.

Daniel Bryan: Fine I will face you at the Great American Bash if you can beat Erick Rowan next week.

Bryan points Erick Rowan who snarls at The Miz. The Miz, however, responds by smiling.

The Miz: If fighting Rowan is what I need to do to get my match with you then I will beat him next week.

The Miz drops the microphone and slides out of the ring. Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan stare him down from the ring not looking happy. Byron says The Miz faces a tough challenge overcoming the giant Erick Rowan but The Miz is one of the smartest performers in WWE and will have a plan for sure. Corey, however, says Bryan should not have to beat The Miz again and should be focusing on covering new ground not repeating a battle from the past.


Ad break

When we return from the commercial break Kayla Braxton is stood backstage ready for an interview.


Kayla Braxton: Would you please welcome my guest at this time, Charlotte Flair.

Charlotte Flair walks into the shot as she looks in a foul mood having come up short in the battle royal last week.

Charlotte: Make it quick Kayla. I'm a busy woman.

Kayla Braxton: OK, last week you failed to win the battle royal and missed out on the chan...

Charlotte: Did you bring me here to mock me, Kayla? Did you ask me for this interview to make fun of me?

Kayla Braxton: No Charlotte I didn't I was...

Charlotte: Give me that.

Charlotte snatches the microphone from Kayla.

Charlotte: Now leave.

Kayla wisely does what Charlotte says.

Charlotte: Asuka is not better than me. She got lucky. She can't beat me in a normal match so she had to catch me by surprise. You see I'm always ready for Asuka and I always will be.

Charlotte drops the microphone and turns around as Asuka jumps on her and lays into the Queen! Asuka is looking to hurt Charlotte Flair who tries to fight back but Asuka is too much. Asuka finishes it off with a massive kick to the head leaving Charlotte out cold! Asuka then bends down over Charlotte.

Asuka: Were you ready then?

Asuka walks off leaving Charlotte laid out on the floor as we cut to a posh room as Jack Gallagher and Aiden English are sat on luxury chairs with brandy glasses in hand and a book in the other hand.

Jack Gallagher: Last week Aiden and I were watching Lucha House Party in action.

Aiden English: And we were not impressed.

Jack Gallagher: You see as Gentlemen we expect a certain level of class from the teams in the tag team division.

Aiden English: And you showed none of that in your victory.

Jack Gallagher: But me and Aiden can show you how to perform with true class.

Aiden English: In two weeks time we want to issue you a challenge.

Jack Gallagher: We challenge you two, to a tag team match and we will show you how a team with class wrestle.

Aiden English: See we are one and one when it comes to singles matches.

Jack Gallagher: But wrestling as a team is a wholly different affair.

Aiden English: So we will see you in two weeks.

Jack Gallagher: If you are man enough to accept.

Both men finish their brandy and start reading their books as the promo comes to an end. We cut back to the commentary team who wonder if Lucha House party will agree to the challenge laid out just now. Byron then informs us The Miz vs Erick Rowan has been made official for next week's Smackdown Live. We then cut backstage as we can see Randy Orton walking to the ring as Byron tells us the main event will happen after the commercial break.


Ad break

*VOICES*

Randy Orton makes his way out to the ring after the commercial break getting mostly boos from the live crowd though some fans still cheer him because he is Randy Orton. Byron mentions Apollo Crews will be out for nearly a month after Randy Orton punted him in the skull last week. Corey says you don't want to mess with the Viper and Big E might be making a big mistake tonight.


*NEW DAY, NEW WAY*

Noticeably there is no Big E introduction as Big E is not in a good mood as he looks to make the man who attacked his friend Xavier Woods pay. Big E wastes no time charging into the ring as Kofi makes his way to commentary desk. Before Kofi can say a word however Big E attacks Orton taking him down as he starts the match with a bang.


Main event: Big E w/ Kofi Kingston vs Randy Orton

Match summary:
Big E starts the match on fire really laying into Randy Orton. Kofi on commentary says he and his boy Big E are out for revenge after Orton punted Xavier in the skull. When asked how his friend is, Kofi says he is having a few tests during the week and could be back soon. The commentary team also asks Kofi about his history with Randy Orton and Kofi says he knows Orton very well and he has always been a bully who likes to hurt people.

In the ring, Big E is no longer in control as it gets to the middle stages as Orton like a viper strikes when Big E makes a mistake and slowly wears down the powerful superstar. Big E though refuses to go down without a fight and gets a couple of near falls thanks to his insane power. However, in the end, Randy counters a Big Ending attempt with an RKO for the win!

Winner via pinfall: Randy Orton (14:16)

Randy Orton gets his hand raised by the referee after the match but Randy Orton doesn't focus on the person in the ring instead turning his attention to Kofi Kingston on commentary. Byron asked what Kofi thinks and Kofi tells him he knows how good Orton is but at the Great American Bash he will avenge his friend Xavier and retain his WWE title. Randy though in the ring mouths to Kofi saying watch this as he starts to make his way to the corner of the ring.

Kofi is smart enough to know what is coming next and tosses the microphone down with such force it breaks as he sprints into the ring. Orton who was lining up the punt sees Kofi coming and just smiles as he retreats through the crowd, running away as he gets booed by the live crowd. In the ring, Kofi checks on his friend Big E after the match as the show comes to a close with Kofi daring Randy to come back to the ring but the Viper slithers away taunting Kofi as he leaves.

Mickie James vs Kairi Sane


Match Summary: A decent match between two experienced competitors. Mickie throughout the match accuses Kairi of disrespecting her and gets very wound up as Kairi Sane refuses to go down. In the end, Kairi counters a Mick Kick attempt and plants Mickie with a jumping DDT. Kairi, however, this time follows it up with the Anchor! She locks it in tight in the center of the ring and Mickie James is left with no choice but to tap out giving Kairi Sane the win.

Cesaro w/ Zelina Vega vs JeyUso w/Zack Ryder

Match Summary: Cesaro makes his way out looking cocky. Noticeably JeyUso makes his way out with Zack Ryder, one-half of the former Raw tag team champions. Michael Cole on commentary wonders where Curt Hawkins is. Throughout the match, Zack Ryder keeps an eye on Zelina Vega making sure she doesn't get involved but Cesaro doesn't need her to as he shows off his power and skill. JeyUso puts up a better fight than expected showing a lot of promise but in the end, Cesaro plants him with the Ricola Bomb for the win!

Winner via pinfall: Cesaro (8:20)

A loud pop from the crowd as Michael Cole hypes up how big a signing Matt Riddle is for the brand, one of the top stars in NXT. Goldberg, however, doesn't react staring at Matt Riddle, just wanting to punch him in the face.

Matt Riddle: So how about I teach you how to wrestle at Summerslam!

Cheers and a few ooohs for that dig as Goldberg looks furious.

As Becky is looking under the ring we hear a “We want tables” chant startup. Becky pops out from under the ring smirking slightly before nodding and pulling a table out from under the ring! This gets a massive pop from the crowd as Becky slides the table into the ring. She takes a moment to do some DIY as she starts to set up the table in the corner of the ring, leaning it against the turnbuckle.

Beth though fights back with a hammer punch, catching Becky in the chest before slamming Becky down onto the mat with a spinebuster!

Becky nearly gets out of the hold so Beth quickly transitions it into a backbreaker! Beth tosses Becky down to the mat and makes the cover 1 2 Becky kicks out. Even kicking out though does damage to the lower back as Becky rolls slightly away from Beth after kicking out clutching her back. Beth then looks to the table in the corner of the ring and has an idea. She lifts Becky off the mat and looks to once again go for the military press slam but this time through the table in the corner of the ring!

However, as she goes towards the table Becky escapes the move and locks in an armbar on Beth Phoenix's left arm! Beth is clearly in pain as Becky looks to transition it from an armbar to the dis-arm-her but Beth powers herself up to her feet and powerbombs Becky in the center of the ring forcing her to break the hold! Beth takes a few seconds to check on her left arm clearly in pain even if Becky was only able to get the hold locked in for a short period.

Beth once again chooses not to make the cover, but instead grabs hold of Becky Lynch locking her in a cloverleaf as she once again looks to damage the back of Becky Lynch! Becky once again refuses to make any visible noise but you can see on her face she is struggling. She grits her teeth though as she tries to push off the mat to get out of the hold but is unable to do so, so instead she starts to make her way to the ropes?

The commentary team wonders why Becky is trying to get to the ropes as there are no rope breaks in a street fight. Becky gets to the ropes but she doesn't stop there! Instead, she crawls through the ropes and uses them to break the hold, escaping to the ring floor! She lands with a bit of a crash but she is happy to be out of the hold as Beth looks annoyed and follows Becky to the outside of the ring.

Becky is still struggling on the floor as Beth gives her a kick to the mid-section looking to keep the pressure up. Beth then grabs hold of Becky lifting her into the air and tosses her towards the timekeeper's area making Becky bounce off the ring floor and lean on the wall. Beth then gets to her feet and charges at Becky Lynch hitting her with a SPEAR THROUGH THE BARRICADE!

The wall collapses due to the power of the spear as both women lay in the wreckage for a moment. Beth would then slowly get to her feet as she takes a moment to get to her feet using the rubble to help herself get up as Becky is down on the floor. Beth would grab hold of Becky as she carries her towards the ring before rolling her back inside. Beth rolls back inside the ring as she makes the cover on Becky.

Eliminated via pinfall by Seth Rollins: Braun Strowman (21:52)

You can almost feel a sigh of relief from everyone in the match as the monster among men has been eliminated from the match. However, Seth does not have any time to breathe as Bobby Lashley charges at him and takes him out of the ring, tossing him to the outside. Lashley this time doesn't want anything going wrong and looks to slam Rollins into the cage wall. He then grabs hold of Rollins's head and slams it into the cage numerous times!

Rollins tries to fight back but after 20+ minutes of this match, he is running on empty. Back in the ring, we can see Styles and Ali are starting to battle each other with AJ trying to work over the damaged leg of Ali but Ali is holding his own as he looks to survive. Back on the outside, Lashley lifts Rollins onto his shoulders as he looks like he is about to send Rollins into one of the pods but Rollins scrambles out and LOCKS IN THE SLEEPER HOLD!

Commentary reminds us this is how Rollins beat Walking Armageddon at Money in the Bank to keep his title as Lashley struggles in the hold. The commentary team also brings up what happens if Lashley passes out on the outside. They inform us Rollins would have to get him back into the ring and pin him as you can only be pinned or submitted between the ropes in this match. Lashley is struggling for air as he tries to find a way to break the hold. He tries slamming Rollins's back into the cage wall but it doesn't work. Rollins has his grip on too tight let go.

Lashley does it again but it still doesn't work! Lashley is starting to fade when he gets one last burst of strength and hits a piggyback special into the cage forcing Rollins to let go. Rollins falls to the mat as Lashley spends a moment clutching his throat struggling for breath. Meanwhile back in the ring, AJ has taken control of the battle as he hits Mustafa Ali with the Three Amigos, making the cover

Ali kicks out!

However back on the outside, we see Rollins struggle up to his feet when suddenly Lashley charges at him and CONNECTS WITH A SPEAR THROUGH THE GLASS! Both men lay in the wreckage for the moment as Lashley is still a bit out of it due to the damage of the sleeper hold. Back in the ring, AJ goes for the calf crusher once again but Ali is ready for it and kicks him off! AJ goes for a legsweep but Ali dodges and hits an INVERTED FRANKENSTINER! Ali makes the cover

Styles kicks out!

Ali takes a moment to get to his feet as he wonders what to do next before he slowly makes his way to the top rope as he looks for a 054 on AJ Styles but the heart of Monday Night Raw takes too long as AJ Styles joins him on the top rope as the two men start to battle. AJ takes control on the top rope as he kicks Ali's left leg causing Ali to buckle. AJ tries to send Ali to the floor bit Ali fights back. Ali takes control and hits an AVALANCHE SPANISH FLY ON AJ! Ali makes the cover!

Eliminated via pinfall by Mustafa Ali: AJ Styles (25:04)

The crowd lets out a massive pop as Mustafa Ali scores a huge elimination, taking out the multiple time WWE champion AJ Styles. He struggles to his feet enjoying the reaction from the crowd as BOBBY LASHLEY HITS HIM WITH A SPEAR! The mood quickly changes as Lashley makes the cover

Eliminated via pinfall by Bobby Lashley: Mustafa Ali (25:27)

Bobby Lashley gets to his feet enjoying the boos from the crowd as it is now just him and Seth Rollins in this match. He looks over to the broken pod, which he left Seth Rollins in and for the first time in a long time he smiles. Lashley slowly makes his way over to the wreckage, from which Rollins has not moved since being put through the glass. Lashley moves the wreckage of the pod out of the way as he drags Rollins out of the wreckage towards the ring. Lashley lifts him up onto his shoulders and climbs over the ropes before as he looks to place Rollins down in the center of the ring but Rollins counters with a schoolboy!

Lashley kicks out!

Lashley looks furious as Rollins was not as out of it as he thought but he looks to finish him off as he grabs hold of him with a double leg takedown and hits him with several punches, wailing on Seth Rollins. He eventually lets up as he drags Rollins off the mat and plants him with a massive overhead belly to belly suplex sending him flying across the ring. Lashley makes his way over to Rollins making the cover

Rollins kicks out!

Lashley at this point and looks to make Rollins suffer as he lifts him into the air and locks in the Canadian Rack as he looks to work over the ribs of Seth, trying to force the Universal champion to tap out! Seth lifts his arm in the air, teasing he might tap out but instead he counters it into a swinging neckbreaker bringing Lashley down to the mat! Rollins, however, doesn't make the cover as he is exhausted. He rolls to the corner of the ring as he sizes Lashley up for the curb stomp! He takes a moment before charging at Lashley who catches him with a SPEAR! Lashley makes the cover

ROLLINS KICKS OUT!

Lashley is in total shock and argues with the referee not believing Rollins could kick out before 3 after the damage he has sustained throughout the match. Lashley makes his way over to Rollins as he looks to lift the deadweight of Seth Rollins into the air as he gets ready to powerbomb him but Seth counters with a tornado DDT planting Lashley! Rollins takes a moment struggling due to the damage he has gone through in this war as Lashley rises to his feet at the same time as Rollins. Lashley swings at Rollins looking for a clothesline but Rollins ducks under him and springboards off the ropes hitting a springboard clothesline! Lashley stumbles back as Seth connects with a SUPERKICK! Lashley drops to his knees as Seth hits him with AVADA KEDAVRA NOT ONCE BUT TWICE causing Lashley to fall to the floor. Rollins is not done as he runs off the ropes and hits the CURB STOMP ON LASHLEY! Rollins however weirdly doesn't make the cover instead making his way to the corner again as he looks to make sure Lashley stays down for good and charges in CONNECTING WITH A SECOND CURB STOMP! Rollins makes the cover!

Winner and still Universal champion: Seth Rollins (29:26)

Seth Rollins takes a moment to get to his feet after the match selling his exhaustion after going through the entire Elimination Chamber from start to finish. Bobby Lashley lays there on the mat as the commentary put over how tough Seth Rollins is as a champion. Seth gets to his feet in the ring as he looks to celebrate but he smartly keeps his eyes on the entrance ramp ready for a cash-in attempt but there is no sign of one so he goes back to celebrating his title win tonight as the show fades to black.

WWE.com News:

Matt Riddle will make his debut on the Monday Night Raw:

After appearing on last night's Stomping Grounds, Matt Riddle will have his first match as a Raw superstar when he takes on Ariya Daivari. Daivari will be looking to redeem himself after Goldberg humiliated him last night. With Matt Riddle facing the legendary Goldberg in 7 weeks at Summerslam, a win over Matt Riddle could do wonders for Daivari's career.

3 other matches announced for Monday Night Raw:

In other news, 3 other matches have been announced for Monday Night Raw by Paige on Twitter. Dolph Ziggler will take on Zelina Vega's latest client Cesaro in singles action. What frame of mind will Ziggler be in after losing to Andrade Cien Almas last night?

The second match made for Raw is Cruiserweight action as the mouthpiece for Bobby Lashley, Lio Rush steps into the ring with Mustafa Ali. Rush convinced his main man Lashley to walk out on a tag match with Ali before Stomping Grounds. Ali meanwhile is coming off one of the biggest pinfalls of his career after eliminating AJ Styles from the Elimination Chamber last night. Can he carry on that form?

And the last match made for Raw is a tag team encounter as the Raw tag team champions The Club take on Zack Ryder and Jey Uso as the pair look for revenge. Will Ryder's head be in the game and where is Curt Hawkins? Also what mood will The Club's leader AJ Styles be in after coming up short inside the Elimination Chamber?

Confirmed for Raw:

Singles match:
Cesaro vs Dolph Ziggler

Singles match:
Lio Rush vs Mustafa Ali

Monday Night Raw
June 24th:
Everett, Washington

Monday Night Raw starts with a highlight package showing us everything that happened last night at Stomping Grounds. Once it finishes we cut to Paige who is once again in her office as she gets ready to start the show.

Paige: Good evening and welcome to Monday Night Raw. Last night was a great night for Raw and now we are seven weeks away from the biggest party of the Summer where we will see the newest signing to the Raw brand Matt Riddle take on Goldberg!

A loud pop from the live crowd.

Paige: And tonight you will get to see Matt Riddle in action as he takes on Ariya Daivari! But that's not all. You see I know Seth Rollins will already be wondering who his next challenger is but he won't have to wait till Summerslam for his next challenge. In the main event tonight Seth Rollins will take on Bobby Roode.

Cheers from the crowd happy to see Seth in action tonight.

Paige: However after the match, I will reveal who Seth Rollins will be defending his Universal title against in 2 weeks.

A pop from the live crowd as Paige smiles.

Paige: And if any of you know how I run my house, I am already getting plans in place for Summerslam whoever walks out of that match as the Universal champion.

Paige lets out a smile.

Paige: But now it is time to start the show properly with the first match of the night as Dolph Ziggler takes on Cesaro!

We cut to the commentary team at ringside as Michael Cole hypes up the announcements by Paige as Big Show wonders who Seth Rollins will be defending his Universal title against in 2 weeks.

*HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD*

Dolph Ziggler makes his way out to the ring getting a decent pop from the live crowd but you can tell his heart is not in it. Michael Cole puts over how devastating his loss last night to Andrade might have been for him as Big Show tells us Ziggler will be having doubts over whether he made the right decision in turning down Zelina Vega's offer to join her group.

*SUPERHUMAN*

Cesaro makes his way out to the ring with his mouth guard in as he is joined by Mr. Money in the Bank Andrade Cien Almas and Zelina Vega who has a microphone in her hand.

Zelina Vega: Cesaro look at the man in the ring. That is what failure looks like.

Both Andrade and Cesaro laugh at Ziggler. Dolph meanwhile can't help but sigh.

Zelina Vega: Last night both of my clients proved what my management skills can do and won their matches. Whilst the man to turn me down lost again.

The crowd are now booing Zelina Vega as she smiles looking at the crowd.

Zelina Vega: And people have been asking us all week. Why did we not cash in on Seth last night? I will pick the perfect moment for my client to cash in. It will be when Seth least expects it and when we are ready to take what belongs to Andrade.

Andrade Cien Almas: Seth Rollins, estás manteniendo ese título cálido para mí.

He drops the microphone at the top of the entrance ramp as all 3 make their way to the ring. Cesaro slides inside the ring as he and Ziggler have a stare down but you can tell Ziggler is not feeling motivated or confident tonight as the referee calls for the bell getting the match underway.


Match 1: Cesaro w/Zelina Vega and Andrade Cien Almas vs Dolph Ziggler

Match Summary: Cesaro controls this match from start to finish as Ziggler does not perform to his usual level lacking all confidence and motivation. In the end, it is an easy victory for Cesaro who lifts Dolph Ziggler into the air and hits him with the Ricola bomb for the win.

Winner via pinfall: Cesaro (3:22)

Cesaro poses after the match celebrating to boos from the crowd as Dolph Ziggler slides out of the ring and storms to the back. Michael Cole on commentary wonders what is next for Dolph Ziggler as Zelina Vega and her clients celebrate in the ring.

Ad break

When we return from the commercial break we see Dolph Ziggler backstage as he looks to be heading towards his locker room looking devastated to have lost once again as he is stopped by Charly Caruso.

Charly Caruso: Dolph another loss tonight, you must be wondering if things can get any worse for your career?

Dolph shakes his head after being asked such a mean question by Charly Caruso.

Dolph Ziggler: Listen there comes a time in everyone's career where they need a change.

Charly Caruso: I mean Zelina Vega did offer you the opportunity to change...

Dolph Ziggler grabs the microphone and signals for her to leave. Charly chooses to do so as Dolph Ziggler sighs before addressing the camera in front of him.

Dolph Ziggler: Maybe I should have taken Zelina Vega's offer or maybe I should have made this change long ago. You see I have been stuck in a rut for years and last night's loss made me come to this decision. I am quitting Monday Night Raw.

Dolph Ziggler drops the microphone and walks away as we cut back to the commentary team at ringside who are in shock. Big Show says quitting Monday Night Raw is a massive decision and it shows how desperate Ziggler is to change something in his career.


*SKY'S THE LIMIT*
*TURN IT UP*

The mood quickly changes from that somber note as the Boss 'n' Hug Connection make their way out to the ring holding their Women tag team titles but they don't look happy. Sasha Banks noticeably has in her other hand the Women's Money in the Bank briefcase as the commentary team reminds us that the Boss 'n' Hug Connection retained their titles against Fire and Desire but were attacked backstage after their match with the pair unhappy after Banks held Mandy's tights to win the match. Back in the ring both Bayley and Banks have a microphone each as they get ready to speak.

Sasha Banks: Last night Bayley got her revenge. She got to make the people who cost her the chance to win this pay.

Sasha lifts up the Money in the Bank briefcase showing it to the crowd as Bayley looks a little confused by what Sasha is saying but shakes her head, letting her friend carry on.

Sasha Banks: But no, Fire and Desire couldn't accept the fact we were the better team. Mandy couldn't handle me beating them at their own game. I will lie cheat and steal my way to the top!

Cheers from the live crowd with a few Eddie chants starting up.

Bayley: Sasha, I'm not sure I agree with us cheating to keep these belts.

Sasha looks annoyed as she turns around to speak to Bayley.

Sasha Banks: Bayley, sometimes you need to fight fire with fire and we did. Now we can move on and focus on going to Smackdown to defend these as well. Being on both shows and defending our titles against all comers.

Bayley: Also we can go to NXT or NXT UK!

Sasha shakes her head disagreeing with Bayley.

Sasha Banks: Bayley we already won these on NXT. We proved ourselves there already. Top stars like ourselves we should only we worried about Raw and Smackdown.

Boos from the crowd as Banks insults the popular NXT but before she can address the crowd...


*GOLDEN GODDESS*

Fire and Desire make their way out to the ring getting boos from the crowd as Sonya looks furious. Meanwhile, Mandy is the one holding the microphone.

Mandy Rose: Those belts should be ours! We demand a rematch. You had to cheat to beat us.

Sasha Banks: We didn't need to cheat to beat you but if you want to try to cheat the Boss, well she will show how it's really done!

Cheers from the crowd as Mandy pouts as Sonya takes the microphone from Mandy and makes her way into the ring.

Sonya Deville: You two can give us a rematch right now or we can show you what a beating from us really looks like.

Bayley: Oh what you going to attack me again. Come on then!

Bayley gets in Sonya Deville's face. Sonya though doesn't flinch.

Sonya Deville: For the last time you stupid little girl, we didn't attack you.

Mandy Rose: Hell I will tell you who I think did it. I th...

Sasha Banks jumps on Mandy Rose laying in her with several punches. Sonya looks to grab hold of Banks to stop her but Bayley attacks her as the two teams are brawling with each other in the ring, really laying into one another. Sonya and Bayley end up by the barricade on the outside of the ring whilst Banks and Mandy are battling in the ring.

Banks takes control, laying out Mandy with the Money in the Bank briefcase before hitting her with a backstabber. Banks would then take her briefcase with her and just when it looks like Sonya is gaining the upper hand over Bayley, she clobbers the former MMA fighter in the head with the briefcase! Sasha then checks on Bayley who says she is OK as Bayley grabs hold of Sonya and hits her with a Bayley to Belly on the ring floor! Bayley gets back to her feet as Sasha passes her one-half of the Women's tag team titles as the Boss 'n' Hug Connection head up the ramp holding their tag team titles in the air.

*GO HARD*

Mustafa Ali makes his way out to the ring after the commercial break getting a loud pop from the crowd. He is noticeably struggling to walk a little bit due to the damage done to his left leg last night. Michael Cole on commentary gives Mustafa Ali a lot of credit for his performance, lasting over 20 minutes and even eliminating AJ Styles from the match! Big Show puts over how big an elimination that was for Ali and how big a name AJ Styles is after his reigns at the top of Smackdown Live.

*I CAME TO COLLECT*

Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley make their way out to the ring but in a twist from the norm, we see Lio Rush is the one dressed to compete. Michael Cole tells us Paige made this match after Rush told Lashley to walk out on Mustafa Ali in a tag team match last week against the Club. Big Show says Ali might be glad not to face Lashley again after Walking Armageddon eliminated him from the chamber last night. Lio Rush steps into the ring looking super cocky as Lashley stands in his corner looking angry after coming up just short last night.

Match 2: Lio Rush w/Bobby Lashley vs Mustafa Ali

Match summary: Lio Rush before this match has never really had the chance to show what he can do in the ring on Monday nights but tonight he really shows off his high-flying skills. Mustafa Ali on a normal night would be able to keep up with this but due to the damage to his leg, Lio Rush is the quicker superstar tonight and nearly picks up the win on a couple of occasions. Lio though chooses not to target Ali's left leg during the match and in the end, Mustafa guts through his injury and Lio Rush's need to show off costs him as Mustafa Ali catches him on the top rope and hits him with an avalanche Spanish fly for the win.

Winner via pinfall: Mustafa Ali (10:15)

Mustafa Ali gets to his feet celebrating his win as the Big Show on commentary gives Lio Rush credit for the performance he put in tonight and says he may have surprised a few people with how well he performed against one of the top stars on Monday Night Raw. As he is celebrating Bobby Lashley makes his way into the ring and picks up Lio Rush as he stares at Mustafa Ali. However, Bobby Lashley chooses to do nothing and carries Lio Rush out of the ring heading to the back, leaving Mustafa Ali to celebrate in the ring.

When we return from the commercial break we are in a locker room as Zack Ryder and Jey Uso are sat backstage as they seem to be going over their game plan for their tag team match as the door opens and we see Curt Hawkins walk into the room with his bags. As soon as he walks into the room Zack Ryder jumps up and hugs his friend catching Hawkins by surprise, as he lets out a weak smile.

Zack Ryder: Bro, where have you been?

Jey Uso: Yeah uce, we have been worried about you.

Curt Hawkins is looking down at his feet as he responds to his two friends.

Curt Hawkins: I didn't want to show my face after I cost us the Raw tag team titles, bro.

Zack Ryder: Bro listen, losses happen but no matter what I will be your friend and your partner from now on. You know what we need to do?

Curt Hawkins: What dude?

Zack Ryder: We need to find a way to get ourselves a rematch for those titles.

Jey Uso: And you can start that tonight Uce. Listen I know this is a big chance for me but now you are here if you want you can have my spot and get your hands on those two.

Curt Hawkins is unsure how to react as he once again looks at his feet.

Curt Hawkins: I mean thanks but um um you two have been practicing all week and I don't want to steal your spot. But I will be there at ringside to support you.

Jey Uso: You sure Uce?

Curt Hawkins: Yeah, you guys have got this you don't want me letting you down.

Zack Ryder: Curt you won...

Curt Hawkins: Listen I'm just um going to get a drink. I will back in a minute OK guys.

Curt Hawkins walks off as both Zack Ryder and Jey Uso sigh worried about their friend Curt Hawkins lack of confidence. We would then cut to Renee Young who is stood elsewhere backstage as she is ready for an interview.

Renee Young: Would you please welcome my guest at this time AJ Styles.

AJ Styles walks into the shot, followed by his boys The Club who have the Raw tag team titles on their shoulder.

Renee Young: AJ last night you competed in the brutal Elimination Chamber match but came up short when Mustafa Ali pinned you. What are your plans going forward?

AJ Styles: Listen what happened last night was a fluke. In a normal one on one match, there is no way Mustafa Ali would ever be able to beat me! A match like that is chaos so hopefully, our General manager sees sense and picks me to fight Seth Rollins for the Universal title!

Renee Young: My other question is how are your boys feeling ahead of their match with Zack Ryder and Jey Uso later on tonight.

AJ Styles: How are they feeling? They have an easy night so they are feeling great. Those two even when teaming with their normal partners aren't on their level, let alone in a miss-mash team. And I heard loser is contagious. With Curt Hawkins at ringside, he will find some way to make his friends lose and it will be … TOO SWEET.

AJ too sweets his boys as they walk off bringing the interview to a close. The camera then cuts to Matt Riddle who is walking through a backstage hallway with a massive smile on his face as Michael Cole lets us know Matt Riddle will have his debut match on Monday Night Raw next!


Ad break

When we return from the commercial break we can see Ariya Davari already stood in the ring. Michael Cole says Daivari will be looking to pull off a massive upset and maybe a win tonight could give him a chance at getting revenge on Goldberg for embarrassing him last night.

*HEY BRO*

Matt Riddle makes his way out to the ring getting a pop from the live crowd after his debut on last night's Stomping Grounds. Big Show on commentary puts over Riddle's MMA background and his time in NXT, saying if anyone in WWE is tough enough to take on Goldberg it is the ultimate bro Matt Riddle. Matt Riddle steps into the ring all smiles as he kicks his flip flops off into the crowd and faces the snarling Daivari who does not look happy ahead of this match.

Match 2: Matt Riddle vs Ariya Daivari

Match summary: This is a straight-up squash. Riddle just lays into Daivari with several hard knees and strikes before getting Daivari down on the mat and hits him with numerous elbow strikes to the head. The referee comes over to check on Daivari and calls for the bell as Riddle has knocked him out cold!

Winner via knockout: Matt Riddle (0:51)

Matt Riddle drops the unconscious body of Daivari to the mat and gets to his feet getting a loud pop from the live crowd. Big Show and Michael Cole put over how impressive that win was and really puts over how strong Matt Riddle is, ahead of his match with Goldberg at Summerslam. Matt Riddle carries on celebrating in the ring as we cut backstage and we can see Lana, Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura watching the match. However, none of them look happy to be just sitting backstage.

Rusev: I should be out there facing people like Matt Riddle. I would actually get the job done.

He turns to look at Shinsuke Nakamura as he says that, angering his tag team partner.

Shinsuke Nakamura: I lasted longer with Black then you did.

Rusev: And you still lost. Hell ever since I started teaming with you all I have done is lose.

Shinsuke Nakamura: Well maybe that is because you and your wife are losers!

Rusev: What did you say?

Shinsuke Nakamura: Sorry me no speak English.

Shinsuke lets out a troll smile as Rusev responds by clocking his tag team partner in the jaw! Shinsuke gets up to attack him but Lana quickly steps in between the two men breaking up the fight.

Lana: STOP IT, STOP STOP. Listen I know things have been tough but this team can still work. OK, please.

Rusev looks angry but relents only because Lana is asking him to. Shinsuke meanwhile is rubbing his jaw.

Shinsuke Nakamura: One last chance.

Shinsuke Nakamura walks off as Rusev shakes his head looking at his wife.

Lana: Listen trust me, I have an idea. I will go speak to Paige.

Rusev: I will always trust you.

Both Lana and Rusev kiss each other as Rusev can't help but smile as Lana leaves to go speak to Raw General manager Paige.


Ad break

We return from the commercial break as we can see Becky Lynch is sat in a medical room in a backstage area as the video tells us this was filmed last night. Becky is clearly still feeling the effects of her street fight with the Glamazon Beth Phoenix. She has both of her title belts on her shoulders as she gets ready to speak.

Becky Lynch: Tonight I went through war to keep this title and stay Becky2belts.

She grabs hold of her Raw women's title and lifts it into the air.


Becky Lynch: Since Wrestlemania, I have been looking to take this brand to new heights and Beth I have to thank you. You gave the Man the fight she was looking for.

Becky lets out a small smile.


Becky Lynch: But I don't like looking back for too long. I'm always looking for my next fight. So, Paige, I have some business to take care of on Smackdown Live but I will be watching next week. And I expect you to find someone for me to fight at Summerslam.

The video comes to an end as Becky sits there showing off both her belts. We cut to the commentary team at ringside who hype up Becky's performance as champion and how tough it is keeping one title let alone two. Big Show says he remembers teaming the Miz when he was a double champion and it is a tough task when one is a tag belt and your partner can carry some of the load, let alone two single titles.


*TOP ONE PERCENT*

EC3 makes his way out to the ring joined by his manager/ assistant Drake Maverick as he gets booed by the crowd on the way to the ring. Michael Cole mentions EC3 not being happy after losing to Tyler Breeze and Seth Rollins in a tag team match last night. Big Show tells us EC3 is someone who prides himself on having a winning mentality and losing to anyone will make him angry. EC3 is now stood in the ring as Drake grabs a microphone from a stagehand at ringside. However, he makes sure to wipe it before passing it to EC3, getting a few more boos from the crowd.

EC3: Listen you people can keep on booing because you're looking at someone who is truly successful.

The boos get louder as Drake Maverick looks to address them now himself.

Drake Maverick: Hello, would you please show Ethan the respect he deserves!

This just causes the crowd to boo more as EC3 shakes his head.

EC3: It is fine. Carry on being jealous of my success because I didn't come out here to address you, people. No, I came out here to address someone who has disrespected me two weeks in a row! Tyler Breeze.

Cheers for the mention of Prince Pretty as EC3 shakes his head.

EC3: Of course you people would cheer for him. He is new money. Someone who got his wealth through unproper means. Posing on a catwalk and modeling.

Drake Maverick: You people don't think if EC3 wanted to do modeling work he wouldn't be able to? If EC3 did modeling work he would put the rest of the male models out of business!

EC3: I mean just look at me. It isn't just my wealth in the top one percent.

More boos from the crowd due to the arrogance of EC3.

EC3: But unlike him, my family worked hard for our money and wealth. I come from proper money and that is why Tyler Breeze chooses to disrespect me. So I'm calling him out to this ring right now!

EC3 looks annoyed and has to wait a few moments but there is no answer.

EC3: What are you sc...


*#MMMGORGEOUS*

Tyler Breeze makes his way out to the ring but he is joined by a bunch of girls who he is taking selfies with as Michael Cole wonders who these women are. Tyler Breeze carries on taking photos with them at the top of the ramp as EC3 and Drake Maverick look annoyed in the ring.

EC3: Hello Tyler. How about you focus on me?

Tyler Breeze ignores him and instead brings the girls over to a few of the fans taking photos with them getting cheers from the live crowd as carries on his antics.


Drake Maverick: Would you show my...

Tyler Breeze: Excuse me, uggos Prince Pretty is attending some business he will get to you two in a moment.

Drake Maverick and EC3 in the ring look like they are about to throw a fit as the models take one last selfie with a few of the fans and Tyler before heading to the back. Breeze does a call me later motion to the girls as they head backstage before turning to face the furious EC3 and Drake Maverick in the ring.


Tyler Breeze: Sorry EC3, every true model knows it is best to get to the party fashionably late.

EC3 and Drake Maverick roll their eyes.


Tyler Breeze: Now this disrespect I have shown you. Is that because I showed you up in the ring last week?

EC3 looks angry in the ring but Tyler isn't finished as he steps into the ring.


Tyler Breeze: I mean I know first hand how tough it can be coming from NXT but you weren't even in the top one percent down there when it came to wins were you?

Drake Maverick: Who do you think you're talking to?

Tyler Breeze: Not you so if you don't mind, move out of the camera shot. We don't want to put any people off their dinner.

Drake Maverick: I will have you know my wife calls me handsome.

Tyler Breeze: And I'm sure she would call me something else.

Drake charges at Breeze but Breeze catches him with a supermodel kick wiping out Drake Maverick! EC3 looks furious his manager was shown up like that as he charges at Tyler Breeze but Breeze sees it coming and drops the ropes sending the charging EC3 to the outside! EC3 on the outside slams his hand on the floor as Breeze picks up his selfie stick and takes a quick selfie with the prone body of Drake Maverick! EC3 makes sure to grab his manager as he fumes going up the ramp as once again Breeze has gotten the better of him!


Ad break

As we return from the commercial break Paige is walking through the back as she bumps into EC3 and Drake Maverick. However, EC3 stops what he is doing and confronts Paige.

EC3: Did you see what Breeze just did to me? The disrespect he just showed me should lead to him being fired.

Paige: EC3 even if I felt in the firing mood, I just lost one of my Raw superstars tonight I'm not firing one just because he showed you up. No, if you want someone to teach him a lesson, next week you can go one on one with him.

Paige walks off as we cut back to the commentary team who hype up that match for next week's show.


*WHAT YOU THINK*

Tamina makes her way to the ring getting a muted reaction from the crowd. She looks angry as Michael Cole says this is a big opportunity for Tamina and her opponent tonight Naomi to stake a claim at being Becky's next challenger for the Raw Women's title.

*AMAZING (REMIX)*

Naomi makes her way out getting a decent pop from the fans in part due to her colorful and energetic entrance. She looks hyped up as Big Show says we haven't seen Naomi in a while as she has been looking after her husband Jimmy Uso who picked up an injury at a house show the other month. She steps into the ring looking fired up as she gets ready to take on Tamina.

Match 4: Naomi vs Tamina

Match summary: Tamina tries to use her power to overcome Naomi during the match but Naomi is too much for her, putting Tamina away with a spilt-legged moonsault for the win to the delight of the fans.

Winner via pinfall: Naomi (5:48)

Naomi gets to her feet as she has her hand raised by the referee. Michael Cole puts over her performance tonight and wonders if she will end up being Becky's challenger at Summerslam. As this is going on we see Tony Nese walking backstage when he is suddenly attacked from behind by Oney Lorcan! He lays into him with several clubbing blows. He then drags Tony Nese up off the floor and connects with a half and half suplex laying Tony Nese out! Oney Lorcan stands over the primer athlete snarling as he speaks.

Oney Lorcan: Weak.

Oney Lorcan walks off leaving Tony Nese laid out on the floor, still looking angry and stoic as he walks away.

When we return from the commercial break we see what looks like a luxury house. We can see a lot of beer bottles and red cups laid out around the house after what seems a wild party. Montez Ford comes down the stairs as we can see a clearly hungover Angelo Dawkins on the sofa. Montez takes a seat next to his tag team partner.

Montez Ford: Dude wake up.

Angelo Dawkins: Nah man, we partied way too hard last night.

Montez Ford: Dude, dude we party hard every night.

Angelo Dawkins: Dude it was extra crazy.

Montez Ford: OK but are you going to be like this when we are on MONDAY NIGHT RAW!

Angelo Dawkins: Lower the volume man!

Montez Ford: Are you going to hideaway?

Angelo Dawkins: Of course not.

Montez Ford: So what you going tell The Ascension when we see them?

Angelo Dawkins (weakly): We want the smoke

Montez Ford: I can't hear you.

Angelo Dawkins: We want the smoke

Montez Ford: And The Singh Brothers?

Angelo Dawkins: We want the smoke

Montez Ford: And The Club?

Angelo perks up at this point.

Angelo Dawkins: Oh we definitely want the smoke.

Montez Ford: See! There's my boy showing his swag.

Both: WE WANT THE SMOKE. WE WANT THE SMOKE. WE WANT THE SMOKE.

Both men are singing away as the following graphic appears on the screen.

*DESTROYER*

We cut back to the ring as the United States champion Samoa Joe marches down the ramp with his US title on his shoulder as Rhyno stands in the ring ready to fight the dominant champion. Michael Cole puts over Joe's victory last night and the fact Gable made one mistake which cost him. Big Show also puts over how Joe is someone you cannot make any mistakes against as he is too complete a competitor. Joe smirks sizing up Rhyno in the ring getting ready for a fight.

Match 5: Samoa Joe vs Rhyno

Match summary: This is a sprint as both men throwing clubbing blows at each other but Rhyno makes a slight mistake and Joe locks in the Coquina clutch on Rhyno. Rhyno tries to power out of the lethal hold but in the end, he is forced to tap out!

Winner via submission: Samoa Joe (2:50)

Samoa Joe as soon as the match is finished tosses Rhyno to the side and demands the referee pass him his United States title belt! He holds it into the air showing it off for the live crowd as Michael Cole once again asks who can match Samoa Joe for power? Big Show says very few can match him for power but who can match him when it comes to the combination he has of power and submissions. Samoa Joe as this is going on has demanded a microphone from someone at ringside as he looks to speak.

Samoa Joe: Last night, I proved I'm a man of my word. I told you all Chad Gable is weak mentally and I proved it.

Boos from the crowd as Joe just smirks.

Samoa Joe: There is no one on Monday Night Raw or anywhere in the world who can stop me. No one matches me in power and technical ability. You will have to take this title from my cold dead hands!

Samoa Joe drops the microphone and walks out of the ring having sent a message to the entire Raw roster tonight. We then cut to Chad Gable who has been watching the whole thing backstage. He looks really cut up and he is watching Joe talk.

Chad Gable: I blew it...

???: Every defeat is a lesson you can learn for the future.

A man places his hand on Chad Gable's shoulder. Gable turns around to see who it is and realizes it is Kurt FREAKIN Angle!

Chad Gable: Kurt Angle?

Kurt Angle: I was watching your match last night and kid you got potential. But you made one mistake. You see I never got to finish what I was going to say last week. I want to give something back to the future of the WWE and offer my services as a manager. And I can't think of anyone better than a former Olympian.

Chad Gable is unsure how to react almost in awe of his idol wanting to manage him. Chad gets up to his feet and hugs Angle catching the legend off-guard a little.

Chad Gable: Yes I accept. But how am I going to get another shot at Samoa Joe and the United States title?

Kurt Angle: We will work on that. I know Samoa Joe very well and I can teach you how to beat him but you're going to have to earn your way to another title match. Are you ready for it?

Chad Gable: Oh you're damn sure I'm ready!

Both men let out a goofy smile before walking off elsewhere.

*DONE WITH THAT (DAY ONE REMIX)*

Zack Ryder and Jey Uso make their way out getting cheers from the live crowd as they are joined by Curt Hawkins who walks slowly behind them. The commentary team put over how losing the tag team titles has put Curt Hawkins back to square one confidence-wise.

*OMEN IN THE SKY*

The Club makes their way out to the ring followed by AJ Styles as they show off their Raw tag team titles on their way to the ring getting boos from the fans. AJ meanwhile makes sure to go over to Curt Hawkins and trash talk him, angering both Ryder and Jey. Back in the ring Karl Anderson starts for The Club whilst Jey Uso starts for his team.

Match 6: The Club w/AJ Styles vs Zack Ryder and Jey Uso w/Curt Hawkins

Match summary: Zack Ryder and Jey Uso may not be used to each other as a team but they work well together giving a good showing against the experienced Raw tag team champions. However, The Club controls the match and show why they are the Raw tag team champions. AJ on the outside throughout the match constantly taunts Curt Hawkins, angering Zack Ryder and Jey Uso during the match. It ends up costing the pair the match in the end as Jey gets distracted by this and hits a suicide dive on AJ wiping him out but it leaves Zack Ryder isolated in the ring as the Club hit Zack Ryder with the Magic Killer to pick up the win!

Winner via pinfall: The Club (10:22)

After the match finishes The Club stands tall in the ring posing with tag team titles as AJ Styles their leader is brawling with Jey Uso. Jey is holding his own until the Club comes over to attack Jey Uso. Curt Hawkins gets up but hesitates for a moment, doubting himself allowing Karl Anderson to big boot him and wipe him out. They get both Jey Uso and Curt Hawkins into the ring as they look to carry on the beat down. However, as they do:

*GO HARD*

Mustafa Ali runs out to the ring with a steel chair in hand! He clobbers Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows in the back but AJ gets out of the ring in time shaking his head, annoyed at Mustafa Ali once again getting one over on him. The Club joins him on the outside as they trash talk all 4 men in the ring retreating to the back. Meanwhile, in the ring Jey Uso, Ryder and Hawkins get to their feet thanking Mustafa Ali for the save tonight.

When we return from the commercial break we can see Charly Caruso stood ready for an interview backstage.

Charly Caruso: Would you please welcome my guest at this time, Rey Mysterio.

Rey Mysterio limps slightly as he walks into the shot, selling the damage done by Drew Gulak last night as he is joined by his son Dominick.

Charly Caruso: How are you feeling after successfully defending your Cruiserweight title against Drew Gulak?

Rey Mysterio: I'm happy Charly even if my leg is still a little sore. And I proved Drew Gulak wrong. You can use whatever style you want as long as you feel happy using it.

Charly Caruso: And what do you plan to do next Rey?

Rey Mysterio: I came back to the Cruiserweight division as I wanted to bring the prestige back to the division and fight the best Cruiserweights in the world. However, I feel this belt here signifies an era where the Cruiserweights were mistreated so next week I am introducing a new Cruiserweight title, bringing the division into a new era!

Charly Caruso: Thank you for your time, Rey.

Rey Mysterio: My pleasure Charly.

We cut elsewhere backstage as we can see Akira Tozawa is hanging out and talking to the B-Team backstage as Noam Dar walks into the room looking cocky as per usual.

Noam Dar: Well lookie here. Are you joining the B-team now Brian is gone? Do you need a friend that badly?

Curtis Axel: What's your problem dude?

Noam Dar holds his hand in the air acting innocent.

Noam Dar: I don't have a problem, it is Akira who is the one with a problem.

Akira looks at Dar confused.

Akira Tozawa: Me have a problem?

Noam Dar: Yes, I was quite clearly talking to you, ya numpty.

Akira Tozawa: Oh OK. AHA.

Akira shouts in Dar's face making him jump back a little. Akira walks off laughing as the B-Team can't help but laugh as they walk off too, leaving Noam Dar left stood there annoyed at being laughed at.

When we return from the commercial break we can see The Singh Brothers are stood in the ring ready for a match as the crowd give the pair light boos.

*ANCIENT SPIRIT*

The Lucha Dragons make their way to the ring as Michael Cole and Big Show put over the run these two men have been on in recent weeks as they look to pick up another win tonight against their fellow Cruiserweights the Singh Brothers. Kalisto steps into the ring for the Lucha Dragons whilst Samir Singh steps inside the ring for the Singh brothers.

Match 7: Lucha Dragons vs The Singh Brothers

Match summary: The Singh Brothers put in a slightly better performance than usual as they get a few moves off instead of just being squashed in under a minute like usual but in the end, the Lucha Dragons are too good for them and Sin Cara picks up the win for the Lucha Dragons with a high-angle senton bomb.

Winners via pinfall: Lucha Dragons (5:14)

The Lucha Dragons get to their feet as they celebrate in the ring happy to have picked up another win as Michael Cole on commentary wonders if a Raw tag team titles shot might be in their future if they keep on picking up wins? We then cut backstage as we can see Renee Young stood ready for an interview.

Renee Young: Would you please welcome my guest at this time, Seth Rollins.

Seth Rollins walks into the shot with his Universal title over his shoulder and a big smile even though he is clearly still in a lot of pain after going through a war to keep hold of it.

Renee Young: Seth last night you went through the Elimination Chamber from start to finish to keep hold of your title. How are you feeling?

Seth Rollins: I will be honest Renee, I am not 100% tonight. Last night was tough but as a fighting champion, I said I would take on all comers and well as you can see I am still holding this title.

Renee Young: How did it feel once again putting away Bobby Lashley?

Seth Rollins: When it comes to strength, few in the WWE can match Bobby Lashley but once again I showed that brains beats brawn.

Renee Young: And in a moment you will take on Bobby Roode, a man who had a few choice words to say about you as champion but who came up short last night. Do you have anything you would like to say to him?

Seth Rollins: Unlike Bobby Roode, I like to do my talking in the ring. And tonight I will show him, why I am the Universal champion!

Renee Young: One last question, do you have any idea who Paige has picked as your challenger in 2 weeks?

Seth Rollins: She has kept me in the dark but whoever it is, I don't plan on losing this any time soon and I look forward to the challenge.

Renee Young: Thanks for your time Seth.

Seth Rollins walks away heading towards the ring as Michael Cole tells us the main event is up next and not to go anywhere!


Ad break

*GLORIOUS DOMINATION*

Bobby Roode makes his way out to the ring as he is noticeably selling his back after being destroyed by Braun Strowman last night inside the Elimination Chamber and he does not look in a good mood as he walks to the ring. The commentary team talks about this being a second chance for Bobby Roode and if he wins tonight, he might get another Universal title shot in the future.

*SECOND COMING/ BURN IT DOWN*

Seth Rollins makes his way out to the ring holding the Universal title in the air getting a loud pop from the crowd. Seth does take his time getting to the ring clearly in a lot of pain after the war inside the Elimination Chamber. The commentary team put over the difference between Seth and the previous champion with Rollins taking on all challengers and being here night in night out. Seth steps into the ring across from Bobby Roode who gives him a dirty look.

Main event: Bobby Roode vs Seth Rollins

Match summary: In the first couple of minutes, both men take their time to feel each other out, clearly still in a ton of pain after going through a war inside the Elimination Chamber. Roode takes control however as he starts working over the back of Rollins and really looking to attack the damage done by Lashley last night in the closing stages of the Elimination Chamber. Rollins, however, guts through the pain and starts laying into the back of Bobby Roode. The match soon turns into a battle over who can do the most damage to the other's back but in the end, Rollins picks up the win countering a glorious DDT and planting Roode with a DDT of his own. He takes a moment to get his breath back before charging off the ropes and connecting with the Curb Stomp to pick up the hard-earned win tonight.

Winner via pinfall: Seth Rollins (14:22)

Seth Rollins gets to his feet as the referee raises his arm into the air as he passes him his Universal title. Seth makes sure to pose for the fans as the commentary team gives Seth Rollins credit for his performance tonight.

*STARS IN THE NIGHT*

The Raw Commissioner makes her way out getting a good pop from the crowd as Seth Rollins stands in the ring looking straight at Paige as he wonders who she is going to announce as his opponent in two weeks.

Paige: Once again Seth you proved why you are a worthy champion on Monday Night Raw but in my house, I always believe in looking for the next challenger for my champion and this is a man who is always looking for a fight. Looking for the next way to test himself and he has the devil on his back.

A loud pop from the live crowd as they work out who it is...


*ROOT OF ALL EVIL*

Aleister Black's music hits as he makes his usual entrance as the cheers from the live crowd get even louder as he slowly walks to the ring. Seth Rollins inside the ring, lets out a small smile relishing the challenge. Black, however, takes his time stepping over the ropes and as he joins Seth Rollins in the ring he remains emotionless. The show comes to an end with both men staring each other down as we fade to black.

There will be an update on Ziggler but the reason I have done the quitting angle is to write him off TV. Even as someone who loves him (Own a ziggler shirt and a ziggler hoodie) he feels like someone who needs time off TV or at least main roster. I might bring Ziggler back to Raw or Smackdown at some point but since I have no major plans for him atm and don't want to use him as a jobber, but I came up with something else that will happen in the background...

*SWAMP GAS*

Smackdown Live starts with Luke Harper making his way to the ring as Corey Graves on commentary welcomes us to the show and informs us we are starting the show off hot, with the Intercontinental title on the line as Finn Balor defends his title against the monstrous Luke Harper! Byron Saxton reminds us what happened on last week's Smackdown Live with Luke Harper pinning Finn Balor during a 6 man tag and earning this title shot.

*CATCH YOUR BREATH*

Finn Balor makes his way out next holding his Intercontinental title in the air getting loud cheers from the crowd. He looks angry as he stares at his large opponent in the ring. Corey Graves on commentary wonders whether Finn will be able to overcome his larger opponent. Byron, however, reminds Corey that Finn Balor beat Lashley not once but twice for that title and Balor has shown in the past he can hold his own against larger opponents. Both men stare each other down as...

*OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE WORLD*

Buddy Murphy makes his way out to the ring confusing both the men in the match. Buddy has a cocky smirk as he gets boos from the fans as he makes his way to the commentary desk and takes a seat. Bryon asks why Buddy Murphy is out here and Murphy tells Byron that he should be the one getting an Intercontinental title shot, not Luke Harper. Both men in the ring take their eyes off Buddy Murphy and go back to focusing on each other as the referee calls for the bell getting this match underway.

Match 1: Intercontinental title match: Finn Balor (c) vs Luke Harper

Match summary: This a fast-paced match with Finn Balor trying to use his pace and speed to take down the larger man. However, Luke Harper is no slouch when it comes to speed and is even able to match Finn Balor and he controls the majority of the match as Finn Balor's Intercontinental title reign looks to be in great jeopardy. Buddy Murphy on commentary gives credit to both men in the ring but throughout the match tells us he knows how to beat both men and it should be him in this match, not Luke Harper.

As the match gets to the closing stages Finn has managed to take control after staggering Luke Harper near the ropes with a dropkick. Harper leans on the ropes as Finn Balor follows it up with another dropkick sending him to the ring floor by the commentary desk. Finn isn't done there however as he makes his way to the top rope and hits a diving plancha on Harper from the top rope! Both men lay on the floor as the ref starts counting getting to a 4 count.

Both men rise to their feet as we can see Murphy smirking on commentary until Harper tosses Finn Balor into him getting a mixed reaction from the crowd. Luke Harper picks up Finn Balor as the referee's count is getting to 7. Harper rolls Finn Balor back into the ring as the ref checks on him and gets to 8. However, Murphy sneaks around and grabs Harper's foot as he tries to get into the ring which the ref does not see. Harper kicks Murphy off but is unable to get into the ring in time and Finn Balor wins via count out!


Winner via countout and still Intercontinental champion: Finn Balor (10:41)

Finn Balor in the ring doesn't look happy with the way he picked up the win tonight. Luke Harper meanwhile is furious as Buddy Murphy sprints up the ramp and Luke Harper follows after him. Finn Balor now sees a replay of what happened and kicks the ropes even angrier now he learns Buddy Murphy is the reason he won.

Ad break

When we return from the commercial break we see Luke Harper is still hunting down Buddy Murphy backstage but can't find him. He keeps on looking until Murphy attacks him from behind! Murphy lays into him with several hard rights. He isn't done there as he grabs a fire extinguisher off the wall and hits Luke Harper with it, really laying into the larger man. Buddy Murphy drops it to the floor before bending down and standing over the prone Luke Harper.

Buddy Murphy: No one cuts in line on my watch.

Buddy Murphy walks off with a big smirk on his face, leaving Luke Harper on the ground. However he starts to slowly get to a seated position and the normally blank, expressionless Harper looks furious. We then cut back the commentary team at ringside who wonder if that was a good idea especially when Murphy has a match later on tonight with the One and Only Ricochet.


*WAR*

The War Raiders march to the ring getting boos from the live crowd as they are joined by their leader Bray Wyatt. He has a creepy smile on his face as he walks to the ring. Corey Graves on commentary reminds us how dominant this pairing has been and talk about them destroying everyone in their paths so far on Smackdown Live. Once inside the ring, the War Raiders stand behind Bray Wyatt as they each have their Smackdown tag team titles on their shoulders looking as imposing as ever.

Bray Wyatt: Since I have returned to Smackdown Live, I have brought war and chaos with me. These two men have laid waste to the Smackdown tag team division.

Both men lift their belts in the air showing them off to the crowd.

Bray Wyatt: Even 3 of the best on Smackdown could not stop them in their march for glory as we helped an old friend in his quest to sow chaos.

Bray lets out a creepy laugh before his face turns serious.

Bray Wyatt: But who is next for us to conquer? Who is next to feel the effects of war? Who gets out wrath next!

Bray stretches his arms out almost beckoning anyone to come out but there is no answer.

Bray Wyatt: Or have we laid waste to everyone stupid enough to feel out wrath? Is there no one left for us to...


*LOADED*

The crowd go wild as we see The Hardy Boyz appear on the ramp getting a pop from the live crowd. They have steel chairs in their hands as they are ready for a fight. Byron Saxton on commentary reminds us that Bray and his War Raiders attacked Jeff Hardy and his brother causing them to miss over a month of action. Bray however isn't scared as he and his boys stand in the ring ready for a fight. Jeff and Matt spend about a moment or two talking to each other before the head down the ramp as The War Raiders slide out of the ring and meet them on the ramp.

The Hardy's swing the chairs and are able to take the monsters down stunning Bray Wyatt in the ring. The Hardys turn their attention to Bray Wyatt in the ring but he escapes just in time. Both of the Hardys look annoyed as Bray retreats standing behind the fallen War Raiders as Jeff and Matt Hardy ask for a microphone each as they look to address Bray Wyatt and The War Raiders on the outside, still holding the steel chairs.


Jeff Hardy: You thought we wouldn't come back?

Matt Hardy: Bray I know you thrive on fear but me and my brother well we are both known for being fearless!

Jeff Hardy: We are reckless and we fear nothing.

Matt Hardy: And guess what? We want those titles.

Cheers from the live crowd as Bray Wyatt snarls at the pair. Meanwhile, the War Raiders get to their feet but Bray stops them from sliding into the ring.

Jeff Hardy: So how about it Bray? Us versus your war dogs at The Great American Bash!

Bray takes a moment before speaking.

Bray Wyatt: It looks like we found the two men foolish enough to feel our wrath. We accept your deceleration of war!

Bray drops the microphone laughing as he and The War Raiders retreat up the ramp getting boos from the crowd as the Hardy Boyz trash talk the pair daring them to come fight them. However, Bray and The War Raiders choose to leave for now. We then cut to the backstage area as we can see Shane McMahon has been watching what just happened in the ring.

Shane McMahon: Well it looks like we have a tag team titles match penciled in for the Great American Bash.

Baron Corbin: Boss, when we beat Owens and Zayn do you think me and Elias can have a shot at the tag team titles?

Shane McMahon: Of course you can Corbin, as long as you beat those two you can have the next shot at the Smackdown tag team titles. There will be no way for Triple H and the rest of the board to accuse me of bias when you beat Owens and Zayn.

Corbin lets out a smile as Drew McIntyre is shown working out in the corner the pair. Elias starts strumming his guitar getting ready to play a song as the door slams open and Charlotte Flair walks into the Corporation's office! Shane McMahon gets to his feet looking to greet the Queen.

Shane McMahon: What do I owe the pleasure?

Charlotte looks at Shane as she is clearly furious.

Charlotte Flair: Did you see the disrespect Asuka showed me last week?

Shane McMahon: Yes I saw what she did to you last week but my question is what are you going to do about it?

Charlotte Flair: What am I going to do about it? You're the commissioner for Smackdown Live! Asuka should be fired for attacking me like that! Does she not know who I am?

Shane McMahon: I can't just fire Asuka. She will just end up on Monday Night Raw or NXT. But what I can do is give you a match with her at the Great American Bash. So you can get your payback on her.

Charlotte gulps for a second before regaining her composure.

Charlotte Flair: But why should I, the Queen waste my time with someone not worthy of my time? I have always been ready for Asuka.

Shane McMahon: Well I'm going to make it a number one contender's match for the Smackdown Women's title at Summerslam!

Charlotte Flair: I mean I should just be given the title shot due to the fact I still haven't got my one on one rematch with Becky Lynch! But fine if the Queen must lower herself to fighting Asuka to get what is rightfully hers then that is what she will do!

Charlotte walks off and leaves the room as Shane McMahon smiles happy to have pleased the Queen Charlotte Flair at least for now.

*FEMME FATALE*

We return from the commercial break the Iiconics make their way to the ring but it is only Peyton Royce who is dressed to compete tonight. Corey Graves on commentary reminds us of the two matches that were made for the Great American Bash before the commercial break as the pair walk to the ring. Meanwhile, Byron Saxton on commentary hypes this up as Isla Dawn's first singles match on Smackdown Live.

*INTRUDERS*

Isla Dawn makes her way out to the ring, followed by her tag team partner Nikki Cross. She knees on the ramp as she seems to chanting something to herself. Commentary speculates on what she is doing as the Iiconics look confused in the ring and Nikki looks almost transfixed on her friend before she breaks the pose and heads into the ring ready to start the match.

Match 2: Peyton Royce w/ Billie Kay vs Isla Dawn w/Nikki Cross

Match summary: Peyton starts the match by mocking Isla Dawn. Isla doesn't take this well and slaps her in the face! Isla Dawn would control the match after this and lay into Peyton Royce with several hard kicks, using her kickboxing background to her advantage. Peyton Royce gets some offense in but in the end, Isla Dawn finishes Peyton off with Black Magic for the win!

Winner via pinfall: Isla Dawn (4:22)

Isla Dawn celebrates in the ring picking up the win tonight in her first-ever singles match on Smackdown Live but as she is celebrating in the ring Billie Kay slides in and attacks her from behind getting boos from the live crowd. Byron Saxton berates the attack calling Billie a sore loser but before she can do too much damage Nikki Cross slides into the ring attacking Billie and get her off Isla Dawn. The Iiconics end up sliding to the outside licking their wounds after Peyton lost tonight. Meanwhile Nikki Cross hugs a smirking Isla Dawn in the ring as they have made a good start to their time as a team on Smackdown Live.

*SPITEFUL*

We return from the commercial as we see Alexa Bliss makes her way to the top of the entrance ramp as we can see the Moment of Bliss set on the stage but she is not alone tonight as her tag team partner over the last few months Ember Moon joins her. Both women have a coffee cup each as Corey makes a joke about the Goddess loving her coffee. The two women take a seat and let out a smile as Bliss gets ready to start the show.

Alexa Bliss: Hello and welcome to a Moment of Bliss featuring Ember Moon!

Slight pop from the live crowd as Ember does a fake bow smiling at her friend.

Ember Moon: Thanks Lexi and I have to say it is going be fun being a co-host on this show.

Alexa Bliss: Who said you were a co-host?

Ember Moon: I mean I um assumed that since you said featuring I was a co-host. I'm sorry if I got the wrong idea.

Alexa Bliss: Well know your place.

Bliss stares at Ember Moon before both women start laughing with each other.

Alexa Bliss: I'm just playing Ember. It feels nice to have a night off from dealing with the Riott Squad. But we have a message for you three.

Ember Moon: Last week we beat you but whether it is me or Bliss who gets the chance, we want to get our hands on the queen-bee Ruby Riott!

Alexa Bliss: But for now would you please welcome our guest, The Man, Becky Lynch!


*CELTIC INVASION*

Becky Lynch makes her way onto the moment of Bliss set with a cocky swagger but she is still a little sore after the war she went through with Beth Phoenix two nights ago. She holds both of her titles on her shoulders as the crowd starts up a Becky2belts chant which the Man can't help but love. She then takes a seat opposite Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon.

Alexa Bliss: Welcome Becky.

Becky Lynch: Thanks for having me, Bliss.

Alexa Bliss: Our first question is how are you feeling after your title match with Beth Phoenix?

Becky Lynch: I mean I still have this title so I'm feeling fine. I went through a war to keep this title and I will go to war again if it means keeping this one!

Cheers from the crowd as Becky shows her usual level of confidence.

Ember Moon: How tough is it defending both titles?

Becky Lynch: It is always tough being a champion. You have a constant target on your back. But having both of these means I don't just have one, I have two.

This causes the crowd to start up another Becky2belts chant which makes the Man smile.

Becky Lynch: But I don't just wait for challenges. No, I look for them, I hunted down Beth until she faced me and if Paige doesn't find me one I will go hunting again.

Alexa Bliss: Coming back to the A show, in 2 weeks you take on Lacey Evans. What do you think of her?

Becky Lynch: Well I can see she is blonde. Lacey is new on the block and hasn't worked out how things work yet. She tried to cheap shot me last week but I learned to have eyes in the back of my head a long time ago.

Becky stares directly at Alexa Bliss who just responds to this by shrugging saying off-mic she ain't going to deny her past.

Ember Moon: What do you make of her performances so far?

Becky Lynch: She is tough I will give her that. The girl knows how to fight but stepping up to the Man is a whole another level.

Cheers from the crowd as Becky acts as cocky as ever.

Becky Lynch: Look at the names I have beaten in WWE. Lacey Evans, you’re stepping up to the elite level and trust me it is one hell of a jump so you better bring everything you have if you want to stand a chance when it comes to going toe to toe with the man!

Loud cheers from the crowd as Ember Moon speaks.

Ember Moon: One last question...

???: Becky, Becky, Becky.

The camera quickly pans up to show Lacey Evans in what looks like her home as she can be seen putting her feet up whilst wearing a fancy outfit and sipping some tea.

Lacey Evans: Once again showing a lack of class. You fail...

Becky Lynch: Do you seriously wear that when you're at home?

Pop from the crowd and that dig even makes Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon chuckle as Lacey Evans looks very annoyed.

Lacey Evans: A real lady always dresses to impress, something you wouldn't know.

Becky Lynch: I mean I focus on winning titles and I'm doing fairly well.

Becky shrugs looking at both of her shoulders, draped in gold.

Lacey Evans: You ain't faced a lady like me. You talked about going through war with Beth Phoenix. What you went through was child’s play compared to what I had to do whilst in the marines.

Mixed reaction from the crowd for the mention of the marines even if it was from the unpopular Lacey Evans.

Lacey Evans: And I don't need the approval of you nasties.

Cheap heat as the people cheering start booing Lacey Evans.

Lacey Evans: Becky you may talk about being the Man but behind every great man is a better woman and at the Great American Bash, I will show how a real lady takes care of business.

Becky Lynch: You can keep running your mouth Lacey but till you test yourself against me you're no one. Just a lady with a big mouth just like me. But the difference between me and you? I can back it up!

Becky drops the microphone getting cheers from the crowd as both Lacey Evans and Becky Lynch stare each other down less than 2 weeks away from the Great American Bash.


Ad break

As we return from the commercial break Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon are walking through the back as we see the Riott Squad walk up to them. It looks like a fight is going to break out.

Shane McMahon: STOP! We are not having a fight breaking out backstage between you guys again. This needs to end.

Alexa Bliss: How about it Ruby? Me and Moon beat your goons how about you face one of us one on one without them?

Ember Moon: You name the time and place, either of us will kick your ass.

Ruby Riott: You know what? If it puts you, two girls in your place, I will take on short stuff over here.

Ruby patronizingly pats Bliss on her head angering Bliss as she lunges for a laughing Ruby but Ember Moon holds her back. Shane McMahon steps between the pair looking to bring this to an end

Shane McMahon: I said enough but since you want to test me to make sure it is a one on one match, it will take place inside a STEEL CAGE!

The Riott Squad flip out on hearing that news and follow Shane McMahon as he walks away with Alexa Bliss and Ember Moon looking very pleased to have a chance to put this feud to bed. We then cut to the ring as the commentary team hype up the steel cage match next week between Alexa Bliss and Ruby Riott.


*ONE AND ONLY*

Ricochet makes his way out to the ring getting a pop from the crowd, though he noticeably has some tape around his left hand which the commentary team ignores. They hype up this match as a chance for Ricochet to get revenge on Buddy Murphy after last week.

*OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE WORLD*

Buddy Murphy makes his way out getting boos from the crowd as he points at Ricochet in the ring talking trash but as he does this, he doesn't notice a furious Luke Harper stood behind him! However, Harper doesn't wait long and charges into Buddy Murphy taking him down with a boot to the back of his head! Harper picks up the prone Buddy Murphy on the ramp and tosses him into the barricade as Harper looks to destroy him. Ricochet in the ring is watching what is going on and looks conflicted wanting a piece of both men as Harper drags Murphy near the apron but Ricochet dives over the top rope wiping both men out!

Ricochet gets to his feet as he pounds away on Luke Harper but doesn't throw any blows with his left hand. However, this doesn't last long as Buddy Murphy grabs hold of Ricochet and he sends him into the steel steps as Ricochet slams into it with his right shoulder. Buddy Murphy smirks acting super cocky until he gets a big boot from Luke Harper! Luke Harper grabs hold of Buddy Murphy and sends him into Ricochet, crushing the high-flier! Luke Harper has a sinister look on his face as he gets ready to cause more pain until:


*CATCH YOUR BREATH*

That gets Luke Harper's attention as he turns towards the ramp and sees Finn Balor coming with the Intercontinental title around his waist. Luke Harper goes for a clothesline but Finn Balor ducks underneath and hits him with an overhead Pele kick as he turns around. Finn Balor quick as a flash takes his Intercontinental title off his waist and lines up Luke Harper, taking his head off with the Intercontinental title belt! The big man drops to the floor as Finn Balor stands tall over the monster until Buddy Murphy clobbers him from behind.

Buddy Murphy gets loud boos for his actions as he starts stomping and kicking Finn Balor on the entrance ramp. He then looks at the Intercontinental title and holds it over Balor shouting this should be his. However, the trash talk goes on too long as Ricochet uses the barricade to springboard off and catches Buddy Murphy with a hurricanna sending him into Finn Balor. Ricochet looks a little regretful as he has no beef with Finn Balor but he doesn't have time to react as Harper attacks him. Buddy Murphy and Finn Balor also get up at this point leading to all 4 men throwing punches as Bryon and Corey tell us this has gotten out of control.


*HERE COMES THE MONEY*

Boos from the crowd who are getting a little bit sick of Shane McMahon who has been all over the show tonight. However, Shane McMahon does not look happy as he sighs before speaking.

Shane McMahon: Alright that is enough stop this right now!

However, all 4 men ignore him too at which point Shane looks wound up as the crowd let out a let them fight chant.

Shane McMahon: OK stop this right now or all 4 of you are suspended!

At this point, all 4 men do stop as Shane McMahon said as the Smackdown Live commissioner looks happy to have restored some order and looks to carry on.

Shane McMahon: Now I know you people love seeing me out here but remember that this show is about the superstars.

That gets loud boos from the crowd but Shane McMahon doesn't care letting out a cocky smile before turning back to the four men on the entrance ramp.

Shane McMahon: Now you four want a piece of each other, well at the Great American Bash it will be Finn Balor versus Ricochet vs Buddy Murphy vs Luke Harper for the Intercontinental Title in a Fatal 4-way match!

A loud pop from the crowd as all 4 men stare each other down after that announcement as Finn Balor stands in front of the 3 holding his Intercontinental title in the air, as all 3 eye the title up.

*FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIES*

Daniel Bryan makes his way out to the ring in a flannel jacket with his hemp WWE title around his waist, not dressed to compete as it is Erick Rowan who is going to be in action tonight. Corey Graves says The Miz made the worst decision of his career expecting to beat Erick Rowan, calling him as smart as Daniel Bryan. Byron, however, put The Miz over as one of the hardest working wrestlers in the company today and he will have been working out a way to beat Erick Rowan all week.

*I CAME TO PLAY*

The Miz makes his usual flamboyant entrance as he points at Erick Rowan in the ring and charges to the ring making sure to give Daniel Bryan a few choice words as he steps inside before turning his attention the larger man stood across the ring from him. The referee then calls for the bell getting this match underway.

Match 3: Erick Rowan w/Daniel Bryan vs The Miz (If Miz wins Bryan will face him at GAB):

Match Summary: The Miz goes after the legs of Rowan early, as he tries to cut the big man down to size but Rowan is smart enough to see it coming and sends The Miz off, onto the mat. Erick Rowan from there spends the next few minutes controlling the match with his power as The Miz struggles to stay alive. On the outside, Daniel Bryan makes sure to trash talk The Miz and call him soft.

However, The Miz makes a fightback about halfway through the match and looks like he is in control. This prompts Daniel Bryan to trip Miz up and cut off his momentum. The referee tells Bryan off who acts innocent but he did his job as Erick Rowan takes control of the match from there. He works over The Miz who refuses to be put away. On the outside of the ring, we can see Daniel Bryan getting more and more frustrated by Miz's will to win this match.

The Miz is even able to counter Erick Rowan and locks the big man in a figure four leglock. Rowan struggles in the hold as The Miz wrenches it back with all of his might but he can't quite get Rowan to tap out. Bryan realizing his friend is in trouble pushes the ropes towards him, which allows Rowan to reach them and forces Miz to break the hold! The referee, however, sees this and sends Bryan to the back. Bryan, however, refuses to do this and starts arguing with the referee.

As he is doing this, however, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens appear behind Daniel Bryan and attack him from behind, laying into the planet's champion on the ramp. Erick Rowan in the ring slams The Miz down to the mat and turns to the ramp threatening Zayn and Owens. However Miz uses this to his advantage kicking Rowan in his bad leg before turning him around and planting him with the Skull Crushing Finale! Miz rolls Erick Rowan over and makes the cover. 1 2 3 The Miz picks up the win and will face Daniel Bryan at the Great American Bash!


Winner via pinfall: The Miz (8:24)

The Miz celebrates in the ring as Corey Graves goes mad saying Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn should be in the back minding their own business. Byron mentions Bryan's interference as well as the recent troubles Owens and Zayn have had with the Corporation as well the alliance with The Miz, so they had every right to be out here to even the score. The Miz celebrates in the ring with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn as Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan lick their wounds on the outside.

*HERE COMES THE MONEY*

The boos are getting very loud as Shane McMahon makes his fourth appearance on the show. He doesn't look happy as Kevin Owens is already rolling his eyes in the ring.

Shane McMahon: Well done Miz. You had to cheat to win but once again Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn had to show their total disrespect for authority.

Kevin Owens shrugs not disagreeing whilst Sami Zayn shouts “you're damn right!”

Shane McMahon: But since you are out here already let's have the Corporation face you and Reigns right now!

Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin, and Elias appear as they follow Shane McMahon to the ring ready for a fight. The Miz stands in the ring ready to fight with Owens and Zayn even if the numbers surrounding the ring are 5 on 3.


*THE TRUTH REIGNS*

Roman Reigns sprints to the ring and attacks Drew McIntyre brawling with him as both men head towards the ring. Corey Graves on commentary tells us we are going to a commercial break as we try to get some order and tells the fans not to go anywhere.

Ad break

Match 4: Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn w/The Miz vs The Corporation (Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Elias) w/Shane McMahon, Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan

Match Summary: When we return from the commercial break Sami Zayn is in the ring wrestling Baron Corbin, as the former Raw general manager works over Sami Zayn as the commentary team inform us The Miz stayed at ringside to support Reigns, Owens and Zayn whilst Shane, Daniel Bryan and Rowan stayed at ringside to support the Corporation in this match. This ends up being your standard 6 man tag on TV which goes on until Roman Reigns gets the hot tag!

He runs through the Corporation in the ring like a man on fire. Meanwhile, on the outside, Bryan low blows The Miz and climbs onto the apron to distract the referee. Erick Rowan whilst this is going on takes Owens and Zayn off the apron attacking both out of the view of the referee as Shane McMahon slides into the ring looking to take down Reigns but the Big Dog hits him with a Superman Punch. However, as he turns around Drew McIntyre the legal man catches him with a CLAYMORE! Reigns is down as Bryan jumps off the apron and the referee makes the count. 1 2 3! DREW MCINTYRE HAS PINNED ROMAN REIGNS!


Winners via pinfall: The Corporation (10:28)

Drew McIntyre gets to his feet as he lets out an angry snarl as he just stares at the prone Roman Reigns on the mat, satisfied with his handiwork for now. Shane McMahon is still down outside the ring as The Eco Warriors, Baron Corbin and Elias join Drew McIntyre in the ring as they stand tall, once again using the numbers game to their advantage. Meanwhile, The Miz, Owens and Sami Zayn stand on the outside looking annoyed the Corporation picked up another win over them.

Ad break

As we return from the commercial break we can hear some loud Mexican music playing as we see the Lucha House Party boys stood in front of a colored wall as they face the camera.

Lince Dorado: Jack Gallagher, Aiden English or as you like to call yourself the Gentleman.

Gran Metalik: No tienen clase.

Lince Dorado: Exactly Metalik, they have no class. You hide behind your façade of being Gentleman but you use cheap tricks to get your way. But that is fine because your challenge?

Gran Metalik: Aceptamos

Lince Dorado: And we will teach you the true power of Lucha Libre on the Great American Bash pre-show.

Gran Metalik: LUCHA LUCHA

Both men carry on chanting as we cut back the commentary team who start to run down the confirmed Great American Bash card as well as the newly added pre-show match.


*MAKING MOVES*

Titus O'Neil makes his way to the ring getting a fairly muted reaction from the live crowd but he makes sure to slap hands with a few fans in the crowd, who are probably hoping he falls under the ring again. Commentary whilst this is going on, carry on hyping the upcoming Great American Bash.

*SHER (LION)*

Jinder Mahal makes his way out next getting some boos from the crowd. Corey Graves on commentary hypes Jinder Mahal up and reminds the people listening, that Jinder Mahal is a former WWE champion whether we like it or not. He slides in the ring coming face to face with Titus O'Neil as Byron Saxton mentions this could be a chance for two lesser-seen guys on Smackdown Live to impress Shane McMahon.

Match 5: Jinder Mahal vs Titus O'Neil

Match Summary: Thankfully this is a very short match with both men looking to take the other out quickly with power moves but in the end, Jinder Mahal picks up the win as he hits Titus O'Neil with the Khallas for the win.

Winner via pinfall: Jinder Mahal (3:22)

Jinder gets to his feet as he celebrates in the ring getting boos from the live crowd as Corey wonders if this could be the start of Jinder getting back to the top of WWE.As Jinder Mahal is celebrating in the ring we cut to what looks like a gym but it is seemingly empty. Empty minus Asuka who is stood in there as she lays into a punching bag with several stiff kicks as she can be heard muttering to herself.

Asuka: You won't be ready, You won't be ready.

As she is repeating that line to herself, the kicks get stiffer and the bag starts flying further as Asuka is firing herself up.

Asuka: YOU WON'T BE READY!

She gives the punching bag one final kick which causes the chain to break and the bag to fly off, as the camera zooms in on Asuka's face as she looks the angriest we have ever seen her. We then cut back to the commentary team who hype up how determined Asuka will be to defeat Charlotte. The camera then cuts backstage as it shows New Day stood next to each other Xavier Woods gives his boys a hug before they make their way to the ring as Byron tells us Xavier Woods will make his return next.


Ad break

Big E: Portland, Oregon. Don't you dare be sour clap your hands for your world famous five-time tag team champions and feel the power!

*NEW DAY, NEW DAY*

All 3 members of the New Day make their way to the ring getting a loud pop from the live crowd but they don't do there usual song and dance as they make their way to the ring, led by Kofi Kingston who has his WWE title on his shoulder as Big E and Xavier Woods follow behind him. Byron Saxton reminds us that this is the first time we have seen the New Day together as a group since Money in the Bank. All 3 men are in the ring as Xavier gets ready to speak.

Xavier Woods: Y'know normally I wouldn't mind a bit of time off. I mean have upupdowndown to run.

Pop from the crowd with a few upupdowndown fans in the crowd.

Xavier Woods: However there is no fun in what happened. Randy Orton attacked me when I was alone and I wish I knew who it was at the time so I could have warned you two.

Kofi Kingston: Xavier you don't have to worry about anything. I'm going to teach Randy a lesson I should have taught him 8 years ago!

Cheers from the fans as Kofi is clearly fired up.

Xavier Woods: I have known Kofi for years. Kofi, Big E and I are brothers. We are best friends and I know him better then I know myself. I knew how much winning the WWE title would mean to him. Hell, it has been one of the main goals of the New Day.

Big E: Get Kofi the WWE title reign he deserved.

Loud cheers from the crowd as they start chanting “you deserve it”. Kofi can't help but smile at the kind words from the fans.

Xavier Woods: And I know how much you want to make Randy Orton pay. Not just for what he did to me but what he did to you 8 years ago.

Woods takes a moment walking forward.

Xavier Woods: Randy Orton is the main reason Kofi never got the chance he deserved. He was the original Daniel Bryan. He was the man stood at the top keeping Kofi down. But before you beat him at the Great American Bash, I want a match with him myself.

Cheers from the crowd as Big E and Kofi Kingston looks worried.

Kofi Kingston: Xavier are you sure that is a good idea? He just put you on the shelf for a month and I know Randy. He doesn't feel remorse. He takes pleasure in hurting people and damaging their careers. He will try to do the same thing again!

Xavier Woods: I know you are trying to protect me but no one messes with you and gets away with it. I know Randy doesn't care about hurting me, he just wants to hurt you and he knows how to do it. And I refuse to let someone get away with hurting one of my best friends!

Kofi looks unsure how to respond, still not wanting his friend to put himself in harms way against Randy Orton but before he can respond...


*VOICES*

Randy Orton slowly makes his way to the entrance ramp as all The New Day are ready for a fight.

Randy Orton: Yes Kofi, why don't you let your friend Xavier into the viper's den?

Kofi Kingston: How about I come down there right now and beat you around the whole arena for old time's sake?

Loud cheers from the fans as Randy Orton shakes his head.

Randy Orton: Do I look STUPID?

Boos for the dig at Kofi as Woods shakes his head knowing exactly what Randy is referencing.

Randy Orton: No, I refuse to fight 3 on 1. I fight on my terms. When you're a legend, you pick when you fight. Maybe when you get to be a 13-time champion you will realize what it is like at the top.

Kofi Kingston: I mean I already know what it is like to be at the top.

Kofi shows off his WWE title as Randy smirks.

Randy Orton: Winning that title, it makes you one of the greats. But you will never be on my level. I spent my career not just killing legends but killing the careers of people like you and your boy Xavier!

Xavier looks angry now as Kofi and Big E looks to keep him calm.

Randy Orton: You're weak and STUPID Kofi. I stopped your rise before and I will stop it again with the three most dangerous letters in wrestling R K

Xavier Woods: Enough! You want to attack me backstage, fine I have had to deal with injuries before but you will not use me as a tool to mess with my best friend. Next week how about you fight me face to face like a man!

Randy smiles.

Randy Orton: OK I accept. On one condition. Kofi Kingston and Big E are banned from ringside!

Boos from the live crowd as Randy smirks.

Randy Orton: I'm not STUPID! I know if they are at ringside they will get involved. Come on Woods how badly do you want a piece of me?

Kofi Kingston: Woods this is a bad idea. You don't want to fall for his trap.

Xavier Woods: Kofi I know this is a trap, I've played enough video games to know that but I need to show Orton he can't mess with you by messing with me. Randy Orton, I accept!

Randy Orton lets out a sinister smile as Big E and Kofi Kingston look really worried as they know their friend could be putting himself in great danger. However, Xavier Woods looks fired up as Smackdown Live comes to a close with The New Day staring down the Viper Randy Orton.

Isla Dawn is a girl in NXT UK that I'm growing on. She needs to improve in the ring more for sure for a call-up, but I like what you're doing with her here. I find myself actually caring about the undercard stuff more than your main event stuff, but Idk if that's bc it's a lot different than what happened to real-life where your main feuds of Reigns/Shane, Orton/Kofi happened, you're just doing them differently...and better IMO

Isla was picked for that reason. She ain't going to main event but she will add to the women's tag team division which if I am going to book, needs more teams. Tbh the undercard stuff is a lot more fun as I feel the need to be more creative.
