SmackDown Live

The show opens with Jinder Mahal taking some pictures with the WWE title. Shane McMahon walks in and says titles have to be earned and before taking the belt away. He books Mahal to face Zayn.

Shane comes out to kick off SDLive.

Shane welcomes new U.S. champion, Chris Jericho to the ring. He will be defending the title against Owens in a Payback rematch tonight.
Styles says he would love to take the U.S. title from Jericho at Backlash, as long as he is still champion by then. Jericho almost puts AJ on the list for not thinking he will retain the title tonight, but then Owens arrives.
Owens tells AJ to get out of his ring, so Styles runs down the aisle and attacks him. It takes several officials to pull them apart.

WWE replays Baron Corbin's attack on Zayn from last week's Talking Smack before the match.



Jinder Mahal vs. Sami Zayn

Jinder Mahal won


Tye Dillinger vs. Aiden English

Tye Dillinger won


As Charlotte is giving an interview backstage, Natalya, Tamina and Carmella attack her and leave her laying on the ground.



Natalya and Carmella vs. Naomi and Charlotte

Charlotte doesn't come out, so Naomi goes it alone.
Charlotte's music hits and she limps her way down the ramp. Naomi tags her and she starts running roughshod all over both opponents.
Becky Lynch runs to the ring, but she hesitates to attack anyone. She shakes Tamina's hand and says she's in. She hugs Natalya, but when she gets to James Ellsworth, she shoves him into Tamina and starts punching Natalya and Carmella. She cleans house until Tamina hits a superkick. Carmella gets rid of Naomi and Charlotte so they can all beat on Lynch.


Sin Cara vs. Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler 


KO vs. Jericho (C) for the US Title (AJ Styles banned from this match)
KO won and is the new US Champion 

Owens comes back in as officials check on Jericho and hits another Popup Powerbomb. He tells Chris he was never his best friend before grabbing his belt and leaving as more refs come down to help.
A few refs try to walk Jericho up the ramp, but Owens runs back down and attacks him again. He grabs a steel chair and wraps it around Jericho's neck before driving him into the ring post. It looks like WWE will write Jericho off TV with an injury angle. The crowd gives Owens a lot of heat as he slowly makes his way up the ramp. The show ends with Jericho moaning in pain as doctors look him over.

Rating - 70/70
Great show and matches.
