SmackDown Live

We see a recap of WWE Backlash.

AJ Styles opens SD Live

AJ Styles comes to the ring, with the announcer saying he requested to be introduced as the face that runs the place.

Styles says he has done everything he has promised, including beating John Cena at SummerSlam and winning the WWE title.
Styles says everything he says it gospel, and he calls himself the champ who runs the camp. I guess he is talking about camp WWE.
As he is bragging, John Cena's music hits and he comes out.

Dean Ambrose's music hits and he makes his way down, clearly intent on getting his rematch. He says Styles made the biggest mistake of his life on Sunday when he hit a low blow to win the title.
He says he will bury Styles, and that's when Cena turns Ambrose around. He mocks Ambrose and says Stone Cold was right when he called Ambrose out on his podcast. He says Ambrose has no balls and he is surprised the low blow hurt him.
Ambrose calls Cena a lazy part-timer and says he is better off doing awards shows and movies because he can't keep up anymore.

Shane McMahon makes his way to the ring.

Shane calls Styles out for taking the easy road and kicking Ambrose below the belt. He books Styles vs. Cena for the title at No Mercy and Ambrose almost loses his mind, until he finds out it's a triple threat with all three men.
Then he books Cena and Ambrose vs. AJ and a partner of his choosing, if he can find one.


A five-way match to determine the No. 1 contender to Becky Lynch's title is announced for later tonight.


The Usos vs. Hype Bros

the Usos won


After the break, Maryse and The Miz head to the ring to celebrate his win at Backlash
They trade their usual insults, but Ziggler admits he is in a slump. He asks if Miz wants to earn some respect by giving him one more title shot, but with nobody at ringside to help him.
Daniel Bryan comes out and says Maryse is the only reason Miz is still champion. He declares Ziggler will get his rematch, which causes Miz to freak out.
Miz says he won't defend the title until he gets what he wants, which is a renegotiated contract. Bryan gets in the ring, so Miz and Maryse leave through the crowd.

Styles is shown trying to recruit Baron Corbin to be his partner, but Corbin says he would rather be fighting AJ than fighting alongside him.


Corbin is in the ring, Apollo Crews apparently asked for a rematch.
Corbin attacks Crews while he is posing in the ring and ends up hitting End of Days outside the ring. Then Jack Swagger's music hits and he heads to the ring in street clothes.
Corbin decides to leave instead of engaging Swagger in a fight. Swagger says he is now on SmackDown as of 12:01 this morning.




Becky Lynch comes out, and is interviewed about being the first SD Live Women's Champion, and the fight she went through at WWE Backlash.

The Fatal 5 Way #1 Contender Match

Nikki Bella vs. Carmella vs. Naomi vs. Alexa Bliss vs. Natalya w/ Becky Lynch at ringside.
Alexa Bliss won and is the #1 contender to the SD Live Women's Championship.


Shane is in the ring to present Slater with his new contract.

Slater wastes no time signing the contract and grabbing the mic to celebrate. He thanks Shane, Bryan and his wife, Beulah. He also thanks Rhyno and says they will face anyone, any time, anywhere.
As he is listing off his kids' names, The Ascension come out.
Shane books the match for the titles and has the crew take the table and carpet from the ring.

Heath Slater and Rhyno vs. The Ascension for SD Live Tag Team Championships
Heath Slater and Rhyno won


Randy Orton addresses Bray Wyatt
Orton says Wyatt is afraid of him, and that's why he was attacked at Backlash. He calls out Wyatt to come to the ring and face his fear. Wyatt comes on the titantron and gives one of his sermons.
Wyatt then appears at ringside laughing at Orton. Randy tells him to get in the ring right now, and Wyatt takes off his jacket like he is going to fight. Then the lights go out, and when they come back on, Erick Rowan attacks Orton from behind.
Orton hits an RKO out of nowhere and then looks around to see Wyatt is no longer at ringside.


John Cena and Dean Ambrose vs. AJ Styles and James Ellsworth
Miz came out of no where and attacked James Ellsworth
So, now it is Miz as AJ Styles partner.

John Cena and Dean Ambrose won

Dean Ambrose put John Cena in dirty deeds, and stands tall neat the ring and Styles on the ramp to close the show.

What are your thoughts on the triple threat for the WWE World Championship at No Mercy
AJ Styles vs. Dean Ambrose vs. John Cena?

I think it is going to be awesome.


Rating:  100/100
