SmackDown

SmackDown opens up with an recap of the Intercontinental Championship match last week between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan.

To kickoff the show It's the Intercontinental Championship Ceremony! Renee Young introduces the Phenomenal AJ Styles to the ring, which is surrounded by SmackDown Superstars. 

Styles tells everyone around the ring that this is the closes they'll ever get to the Intercontinental Championship. AJ refuses to give out handouts, and won't be a fighting champion.

Before this can continue, Styles says that Renee Young isn't the right person to present him with the championship. It should be the man he beat last week, Daniel Bryan. 

Bryan is having second thoughts, but Styles claims he's not a real man if he doesn't award the new champion his title. Bryan eventually does it and congratulates Styles, but it's not good enough for the newly crowned Intercontinental Champion. 

Bryan claims that Styles can possibly be the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. That is...if he can actually face the Superstars around this ring. Like..maybe Drew Gulak, who pinned Styles two weeks ago on SmackDown!

Styles shuts it down and says whoever wants to step up and challenge him will deal with the consequences. Almost as if he was waiting for his queue, Matt Riddle's music hit. 

Styles calls Riddle just another performer looking for a handout. Riddle denied that, stating that he's actually here to give Styles some advice. 

If Styles is the Face that Runs the Place, Riddle is the Bro that Runs the Show. 

Styles takes a cheap shot at Riddle but is sent to the floor before demanding a ref. 

AJ Styles vs. Matt Riddle

Matt Riddle won

Renee Young interviews Hardy backstage about his journey over the past few months. Hardy says he's been trying to turn his life around for a long time. 

Hardy has doubts about himself. As a performer, a father, a husband, etc. However, the important thing is to catch himself before those doubts send him spiraling back into the darkness. 

Chad Gable vs. Mojo Rawley 

Chad Gable won

MizTv with Miz and Morrison with the guest of Mandy Rose 

Miz apologizes for what happened at Backlash. Morrison isn't upset, as he says that the rules were changed beforehand. Originally, they were supposed to walk out Co-Universal Champions. However, at Backlash, just before the match, they were told whoever got the pin would be champion. 

They nearly chase Mandy Rose off with stupid questions. However, Miz stops her, saying that they've got a surprise for her. It's Sonya Deville! 

Rose says she's tired of this and wants to move on. Deville refuses, reminding her of all the opportunities she's been given and how she's squandered it all. 

Deville insults Otis, which is the straw that breaks the camel's back. Rose says that Deville has nothing to show. No titles, not much success in WWE, and no friends.

Deville again claims that Mandy Rose is only in front of her because of her looks, when she's better than her in every other way. 

Mandy manages to get the best of Deville in a brawl, but Miz and Morrison get between them. Mandy slaps Miz before walking off. 

The New Day vs. Lucha House Party

Ramblin Rabbit reminded Bray that he was sitting in the corner muttering to himself after losing to Braun Strowman. Braun Strowman interrupts Wyatt before he can address his loss at Money in the Bank. 

Strowman enters the ring and says that their story is over. Wyatt says the chapter is over, but the story isn't. He turned into that old Bray Wyatt character, which seemed to get under the skin of the Universal Champion. 

He said that all Braun has to do to find him is, of course, follow the buzzards. 

Rating: 70/70

Great show and matches.

RAW

RAW opens with Randy Orton coming out to the ring.

Orton claims that he embarrassed Edge and shut down his quest of redemption. He went on to say that if Edge had trusted him on his return, things could've turned out differently. 

He thanks Edge for bringing back the Legend Killer. He'd thank Edge in person but the triceps tear and all. 

The Viper claims that Edge will be cleared in July. That is July of 2029. Christian's music hits. 

Christian cuts straight to the chase, calling Orton an SOB. 

Orton thinks Christian is out here for "One More Match." Captain Charisma denies it. Orton offers him an opportunity to get one last match in and get around all the legal red tape. Christian vs Orton in an unsanctioned match. 

Before Orton leaves, he claims that if Christian doesn't accept, he's just a coward. 

Kevin Owens vs. Angel Garza 

Angel Garza won

Backstage, MVP and Bobby Lashley are talking about the match at Backlash. Lashley was mere moments away from ending the WWE Championship reign of Drew McIntyre. 

MVP blamed Lana on the loss, but they're on the way to the ring now to address the whole situation. 

MVP and Lashley come to the ring, and MVP instantly blames Lana for Lashley not being the champion right now. 

Lana comes down to defend herself, claiming that everything she does is for Lashley. MVP calls her a hot. Lana replies, saying that MVP is just a snake trying to manipulate her Bobby. 

Lana tries to side with Lashley, but her husband ends up agreeing with MVP, blaming Lana for his loss. He digs deeper, attacking her for putting their personal lives all over social media. 

Lashley demands a divorce before leaving with MVP in tow. 

The Viking Profits vs. Three Ninjas and Tozawa 

The Viking Profits won

After the match, Tozawa brings in the giant ninja. The Profits and Raiders are set to take him on, when Big Show's music hits. 

The Ninjas got destroyed. But, the big Ninja and Tozawa escaped up the ramp.

Seth Rollins is here to address the "situation" regarding Rey Mysterio. Mysterio appears via satellite to try and convince Rollins not to hurt Dominick.

Rollins tells Mysterio that he would love nothing more than for Dominick to join him, Murphy, and Theory. Right now, Murphy and Theory are out looking for him as he speaks. 

Mysterio threatens the Monday Night Messiah, stating that if something happens to Dominick, he'll end Rollins for good.

Dominick blindsides Seth and escapes before Theory and Murphy can get their hands on him. Looks like young Dominick is a bit more trouble than Rollins had planned for. 

Liv Morgan and Natalya vs. The IIconics 

The IIconics won

After the match, the IIconics challenge the Boss & Hug Connection to another WWE Women's Tag Team Championship match.

Celebrate tonight, beat Shotzi Blackheart and Tegan Nox on Wednesday, celebrate again on Friday. 

The IIconics are back out to interrupt and challenge the champs again. Billie Kay & Peyton Royce remind them that their WrestleMania moment was built on the failures of Bayley & Sasha Banks.

Asuka (c) vs. Nia Jax for the RAW Women’s Championship 

Asuka won and retains the RAW Women’s Championship 

Christian vs. Randy Orton in a Unsanctioned Match

Flair once again tried to stop Christian, but he refused. So, instead, Flair low blowed Christian, leaving him to the Viper.

After that, Orton gently turned Christian over and pinned him for the victory. He apologized to a now unconscious Christian before turning the blame around on his victim. 

As the ring crew came in to check on him, Orton demanded that they take good care of him. They put on a neck brace on Christian as Orton kept saying he never wanted to do this to Christian or Edge.
