Hello and welcome to WWE Smackdown Live Results!
Thank you for joining us. I’m your host, CP Bialois, and we should be in for an interesting night as WWE’s final show leading to Clash of Champions will set up the rest of the championship card.
We’ll get started at showtime at 8 p.m. EST, so grab some snacks and settle in for the fun.
Segment 1
Intercontinental Championship Ascension Ceremony saw some trash talking betwen AJ Style, Sami Zayne and Jeff Hardy and the two IC belts were lifted above the ring for the PPV.
Zayne attacked them with a ladder, but as he left, Adam Pearce added him to Styles and Hardy’s match, making it a triple threat.
Segment 2
Jeff Hardy vs. AJ Styles vs. Sami Zayn
This is a really good match so far, showing plenty of gut and brutality without the ladders involved. Hope they don’t leave it all in the ring with the PPV this Sunday.
Segment 3
Zayn pinned Hardy after ducking Styles’ Phenominal Forearm and Styles hit Hardy.
Style then took out Zayn and Hardy with a ladder and claimed the belts in a symbolic victory he hopes will happen at Clash of Champions.
Segment 4
Otis and Tucker had a brief confrontation with teh Miz and Morrison over the MITB cpntract, and Otis challenged the Miz to come and take it.
A recap of Bayley’s attacks on Sasha Banks followed, and Bayley cut a quick but poignant promo on Nikki Cross for Clash of Champions.
Segment 5
Gran Metalik (w/Lince Dorado and Kalisto) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (w/Cesaro)
Nakamura won a good match with his kinshasa. After the match, Cesaro nailed Lince Dorado while Kalisto waited outside the ring.
When Kalisto tried to help, Dorado shoved him down and helped Metalik.
Segment 6
A really short and bad tribute to Animal with some images and tweets.
Jey Uso demanded to know what was behind Romen Reigns’ look last week, and Heyman said it’ll happen face to face toniht when Reigns chooses, not Jey.
Segment 7
King Corbin vs. Matt Riddle
This started fast when Riddle atacked Corbin from behind, but Corbin controled most of the match prior to the commerical break when Riddle threw him over the announce desk.
Segment 8
Corbin eventually won a hard fought match after hittting an End of Days.
Riddle said afterwards he won’t rest until Smackdown is the Bro Show.
Segment 9
Alexa Bliss vs. Lacey Evans
Evans dominated early, but as Alexa fought back, the Fiend’s laughter filled the arena as we headed to commerical.
Segment 10
Evans won by disqualification after the Fiend’s screeching music played. Alexa went psychotic as she attacked Evans, forcing the referee to disqualify her.
She then burned a hole in Reigns’ back when they passed eahc other on the ramp,
Segment 11
Reigns told Jey that he would give him the belt if he could, but he had to feed their family with it. He added that Jey is a twin, so basically he doesn’t stand out.
As Reigns left the ring, Jey asked what if Reigns is wrong. He said after Clash of Champions, everyone will see him as the man that beat Roman Reigns.
Reigns then ambushed Jey at the top of the ramp with a Superman Punch, and told him he’ll never take the title, or replace him at the head of the family’s table.
A little Godfather and McMahon family drama in there, perhaps?
Not a bad show, but still felt really weak over all. Not what they needed heading into a pay-per-view.
