SmackDown Live

SmackDown opens with Orton, Bryan and Shane watching a video of Randy hitting Lesnar with an RKO on Raw. Shane says he would be shocked if Lesnar didn't try to take revenge before SummerSlam.


Bryan and Shane run into Miz and Maryse. Miz calls himself the Jason Bourne of WWE,.
Bryan accidentally calls Apollo Crews Apollo Creed when he tells the Miz how they will find a contender for his IC title. It was bound to happen eventually. Corbin will face Crews and Kalisto in a Triple Threat to see who faces Miz at SummerSlam.

Dean Ambrose welcomes us to the show. He calls Dolph Ziggler to the ring so they can talk about their upcoming title match at SummerSlam.

Ambrose says they are nothing alike, and Ziggler reminds him how he started as a male cheerleader while Ambrose came in hot with The Shield.
Dean says Ziggler is too worried about his image and what the fans think of him while Ambrose is only worried about being champion.
Ziggler gets fired up as he tells Ambrose he is going to take his title.- This was a pretty awesome promo.


We see Bray Wyatt hitting Ziggler with Sister Abigail. He grabs a mic and says Ziggler doesn't deserve to be the champion.
Then he issues a challenge to Ziggler for a singles match with his No. 1 contender's spot on the line.

We come back from commercial break to see Ziggler telling Bryan and Shane he is willing to take Wyatt's challenge because he wants to prove he deserves to be champion and Shane makes the match
.

Apollo Crews vs. Kalisto vs. Baron Corbin W/ The Miz at Commentary- The Winner will become #1 Contender to the IC Title and face Miz at SummerSlam


Apollo Crews won and is the #1 Contender to the IC Title to face Miz at SummerSlam.

Corbin attacks Kalisto from behind after the match, but Crews runs down and makes the save. The Miz comes in and hits the Skull Crushing Finale to the new No. 1 contender for his title.
Then Corbin hits The End of Days on Miz to be the last man standing.


Becky Lynch vs. Eva Marie

Didn't happen. Eva Marie said she was 'hurt' and the match was then canceled and she was helped to the back.


Carmella is being interviewed by Renee Young when Natalya interrupts. They exchange some insults.


American Alpha vs. The Vaudevillians

American Alpha won


AJ Styles barely gets out a whole sentence before Cena's music hits and he makes his way out.

Cena just stands there and lets Styles vent his frustrations about kids getting trophies just for participating. Cena gets his own "Let's go Cena, Cena sucks" chant going. AJ asks why he is still here and Cena says he is here to shut AJ's mouth.

Cena says he is still here after 15 years because he loves it and he doesn't care if saying the word love makes him look less tough.


Styles gives Cena a clap and says Cena said exactly what he thought Cena would say.


AJ issues a challenge and Cena accepts.

Pretty awesome promo and segment between the two.


Heath Slater is told he will have a match next week to earn a contract. When he asks who he is facing, Rhyno hits him with the Gore out of nowhere.

Then we see Renee Young interviewing Dean Ambrose.


Randy Orton vs. Fandango w/ Tyler Breeze at ringside. While also security guards near the ring as well.

Ends in DQ. When Brock is seen coming through the crowd and gets in the ring and f5's Randy Orton and then Shane and more security is seen coming to get Brock to leave.


Carmella makes her way out after Orton totally ignores the girl trying to interview him. As she is talking during her entrance, Natalya attacks her from behind and puts her in the Sharpshooter at ringside.



Dolph Ziggler vs. Bray Wyatt- If Bray wins he replaces Ziggler as the #1 Contender for the WWE World Championship and will face Dean Ambrose at SummerSlam. But if Wyatt loses then Ziggler just proves he deserves the title match. Dean Ambrose is at commentary.

Dolph  Ziggler wins.


As Ziggler is talking trash to Ambrose, Erick Rowan comes out of nowhere and takes him out. Ambrose makes the save, but he ends up getting slammed by Rowan, too.
Wyatt grabs Ziggler and delivers Sister Abigail.

The show ends with Wyatt standing tall.



Rating: 50/50


Better show than last week. Entertaining matches and feuds. Building us up to SummerSlam.
