SmackDown Live

SmackDown opens with a recap of the end of Raw before the announcers let us know Becky Lynch is unable to compete due to a broken nose and severe concussion. AJ Styles then comes out to kick things off.
AJ Styles says he has been the workhorse of WWE since he got here and he has defeated anyone he has stepped in the ring with except Brock Lesnar. He says it is his goal to win on Sunday, but he gets distracted by Paul Heyman at ringside trying to take a mic. AJ tells them to give him one and Heyman gives his usual intro for himself.
Heyman implies people would rather see Lesnar vs. Daniel Bryan but he still says it's
an honor for his client to face Styles, who he calls the second greatest
in-ring performer in WWE. AJ reminds us that he tapped Bryan out in their last
encounter and Lesnar limped away from their match last year.
Bryan comes out and asks why they are even talking about him right now. He admits that he tapped out but also says he has been looking for a reason to punch AJ in the face. He threatens to do it if AJ mentions his name one more time before laying the mic down. Styles says it was Heyman who brought his name up but intense teases with his name again. Bryan decks him and they start brawling. Shane McMahon comes out with some officials to break up the fight.


We shall another altercation between Styles and Bryan backstage and Shane says that the WWE Title is on the line tonight and then it was made official we’ll be seeing Daniel vs. AJ tonight for the WWE Championship.

Daniel Bryan is off the SmackDown team so he can face AJ Styles, so The Miz names Jeff Hardy as the final member of the team.
