SmackDown Live

SmackDown opens with Randy Orton making his way to the ring.

Orton talks about how Hardy called him out last week and ended up regretting it. He shows a clip of the attack and asks if the crowd still believes in Hardy. Orton says he will become so violent during his feud with Hardy that it will make people want to change the channel.

Orton vows to erase everyone the WWE Universe believes in and tells the crowd it's their fault for not respecting him. 

Backstage we see Charlotte and Becky talk about their SummerSlam match. They throw a little shade at Bayley and Sasha.

Charlotte and Becky Lynch won

Miz accepts Daniel Bryan’s challenge for SummerSlam. It’s about time we get this match.

AJ Styles comes out to talk about his match with Samoa Joe.

AJ Styles addressed Samoa Joe's statements about his role as a father and husband from last week.

He said leaving family at home while traveling the world is the sacrifice they make. It pisses Styles off the most, he said, that Joe knows his wife. That he has a history with The Phenomenal One and that he threw it all away in a matter of moments.

"At SummerSlam, you'll be lucky to walk out at all!" Styles ended his promo emphatically as Joe was shown backstage, amused by what AJ Styles said. 

Zelina Vega vs. Lana

Aiden English runs down and spears Almas so hard he ends up knocking Lana off the top turnbuckle when he hits the apron. Vega makes the cover and gets the win.

Shinsuke Nakamura gives an interview backstage about his SummerSlam match against Jeff Hardy. R-Truth and Tye Dillinger walk up and Truth challenges Nakamura to a match.

The Miz gives an interview by satellite and brags about the success of his reality show. Instead of talking about his SummerSlam match against Bryan, Miz plugs tonight's new episode of Miz and Mrs. Saxton asks him what will happen if he can't back up all his trash talk. Miz goes on another one of his tirades about Bryan.

Bryan bursts into the room and starts attacking The Miz and his security guards. He has the upper hand until Miz hits him with a vase over the head. Bryan gets up and walks it off after Miz leaves.
