WWE Smackdown Results returned as Natalya came out dressed as Ronda Rousey with a baby carriage, and she introduced herself and Ronda and went full speed mocking her.
She went on about how Ronda nearly submitted to her and that she doesn’t stand a chance against Natalya, so she taped out right there.
"The closest you'll ever get to being a main attraction in this company is dressing up like me." 😮#SmackDown #MITB @RondaRousey @NatbyNature pic.twitter.com/l5r1C6U3Fo

Ronda came out and told her she’s not going to hand her title over to her, and pointed out Natalya’s problem is she expects things handed to her.
After a couple more insults, Ronda ripped off Natalya’s jacket, and Natalya used the stroller to shove Ronda back so she could escape.
Intercontinental Championship – GUNTHER (c) w/Ludwig Kaiser vs. Ricochet
Ricochet started it off with a dropkick and attempted to chop GUNTHER down, but GUNTHER caught his kick and slammed him, then hit a big boot.
GUNTHER ground Ricochet down, but he rallied and used his speed to hit a step up kick and a pair of knees before running into a clothesline.
GUNTHER hit a dropkick and powerbomb for a dominate win. Like last week, this should’ve been shorter to really make GUNTHER a monster.
Money in the Bank Qualifying Match – Tamina vs. Shotzi
Shotzi went for a sleeper right away to no effect and she shrugged Shotzi off and threw her across the ring.

Tamina dominated early on, but Shotzi fought back and rocked Tamina with a series of strikes and kicks before she headed to the top rope and jumped into superkick for a near pinfall but Shotzi got her foot on the bottom rope.
Shotzi sidestepped her charge and Tamina hit the ring post, and Shotzi closed it out with a DDT for the win.
Pat McAfee stood on the commentating desk and called out Corbin for calling him out last week and he mocked Corbin for threatening him.
He talked about how alive he feels with his job and challenged Corbin to a match at SummerSlam.
Drew McIntyre and Sheamus w/Ridge Holland, Butch vs. The Usos (Jey, Jimmy Uso)
If Drew and Sheamus win this, they’re back in the MITB match, and with the Street Profits joining the commentary team to watch, anything goes.
Drew and Sheamus argued over who’s going to start, and Jimmy went after Drew, so that settled that.
Drew and Sheamus worked well together early on with a double hip toss, but Jimmy shoved Sheamus into his corner and tagged in Jey for a forearm.
Sheamus hit clubbing blows on Jey and followed it with a Rolling Senton. He mocked Drew’s countdown, but Jey rolled to the floor to avoid a Brogue Kick.
Drew threw Butch into the barricade and then traded blows with Sheamus before the Usos took them out with dives as we headed to commercial.

Sheamus countered a charge by Jimmy with a Brogue kick and tagged in Drew, who went to work on Jey after he tagged in.
Drew ate a superkick, then a double superkick and a Uso Splash by Jimmy for a pin attempt Sheamus broke up.

Mayhem broke out on the floor and Zayn went for a Helluva Kick on Drew and Dawkins intercepted him with a shoulder block, and while the profits and Use argued, Drew hit a moonsault over the top rope.
Sheamus took out Jey with a Brogue Kick, and Drew sent Jimmy into the ring to hit a claymore off the ropes for the win and to send he and Sheamus to MITB.
