SmackDown Live

SmackDown opens with a recap of Team Hell No's reunion last week.

Renee Young opens the show with an interview in the ring with Daniel Bryan and Kane. Team Hell No comes out. They talk about their unorthodox relationship and how they have come a long way together.


Kane says he returned because he could tell Bryan was going to lose his temper dealing with Harper and Rowan. Bryan vows to become the new tag team champions with Kane, but he also mentions how their last interaction was as opponents, not partners. Kane says he was just trying to win and Bryan brings up how many Tombstone Piledrivers Kane gave him when they weren't even having a match. He also mentions Kane attempting to abduct Brie and Kane brushes it off.

The Usos come out to interrupt Kane and Bryan while they are arguing. They seem upset that they aren't in the tag title match and make fun of Team Hell No and how much they hug each other. Bryan challenges them to a match, but Kane says they will get back to them. Before anything else can happen, Paige comes out to announce The Usos vs. Team Hell No in the main event. The Usos will be added to the title match at Extreme Rules if they win.


Jeff Hardy heads to the ring after the break for his United States Championship open challenge. He is rocking some sweet red, white and blue face paint.

The Miz answers the challenge.

The New Day is out after the break for its first annual July 3rd pancake eating contest. Byron Saxton is overseeing the event.
The lights go out a few seconds after they start eating. Then Sanity appears in the ring to attack them from behind. They destroy all three members of The New Day immediately. The attack ends with Xavier Woods being put through a table. Asuka vs. Ellsworth

Asuka nails a spinning back fist that connects with a loud crack to send Ellsworth running through the crowd. She chases him all the way to the back as they both get counted out. They run back through the arena and Carmella shoves Asuka into the barricade to protect Ellsworth.


Kane apologizes to Bryan for his past indiscretions and they get back on the same page during a backstage segment.


AJ Styles vs. Aiden English

Rusev yanks Styles out of the ring and runs him into the ring post. He sticks AJ with a Machka Kick and rolls him in the ring for the Accolade.


Paige informs Ellsworth that he will have a rematch against Asuka in a lumberjack match next week.
