WWE Smackdown Live on the USA network
Released live from Tulsa, Oklahoma to BOK Center
Images of Sami Zayn's victory by Kofi Kingston last week and Dolph Ziggler's post-game attack were shown. In the arena, Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton and Corey Graves welcomed everyone. Kevin Owens went to the ring and a video package of Kevin Owens and Kofi Kingston's recent feud was broadcast. After the video, Owens announced that he was originally going to launch Smackdown Live with a Kevin Owens Show, but after spending all day behind the scenes in Oklahoma, he can not think of anything worse than doing this show. in front of this audience.
He then announced that he would face Kofi Kingston the next day, but he insisted that he had not attacked Big E last week. Owens is said to be a good person and that he would never do anything of the sort. If New Day wants to blame him for anything, they can blame him for Woods having suffered in recent weeks, and blame him for Dolph Ziggler defeating Kofi for the WWE title, because it would be because of the blows he made. He allegedly inflicted Kofi Kingston.
Kevin said that after Dolph's victory, he could thank him by giving him an opportunity for the WWE Championship, as he is the defender, and it all revolves around Kevin Owens. Kofi made his entrance and told Kevin to stop with all the lies. He told her that everyone knew that he had attacked Big E and that he had lied about his desire to become a New Day member. He said he was not a good person, he was only a liar. He says he's going to soften it, but it's not going to happen because he's going to stop him and charge him for hurting Big E's knee again and attacking Woods several times.
Kofi said Kevin would let him understand why he is the WWE champion.
1. Kevin Owens vs. Kofi Kingston: Kofi jumped quickly with kicks. The two men exchanged blows until Kofi telegraphed a fall of the body and had his head thrown out.[c]
My catch: I guess Ziggler has an impact on the finish of this match. Owens is really sliding into territory with this character. I think it's the same thing he did before he was injured in 2018. The character's lack of growth is disappointing, as he looked promising before Kofi's popularity changed.
Owens slammed Kofi into the barricade and hit a sentry on the ground. He then rolled it into the ring and covered it for a near fall. Owens applied a blockage lock and kept Kofi on the ground at various locations in the middle of the night. Owens tried to take off Kingston's shoes, but Kofi hit him with an upkick. The two men were standing up and Kofi kicked and sent Owens to the ground. He then hit a flop fosbury on the outside. Kofi lands on his coccyx.
Back in the ring, Owens hit SOS for a close fall. Kofi climbed to the top rope, but Owens pushed him to the ground. The referee started counting Kofi, but he returned at 8 o'clock. Owens then followed him and threw him into the barricade. The referee took over the count and Kofi responded at 9 o'clock. Owens then repeated the same process, throwing Kofi into the barricade and demanding counting. He then threw all the Kingston pancakes on the floor.
Kofi answered the account again, and Owens threw it into the corner and knocked a cannonball for a near fall. He then stomped on Kofi's chest and applied a putty to him. Kevin threw Kofi down and tried another count, but Kofi answered again. Owens came in first with a frog splash and had another close fall. Owens bit the crowd and climbed again, but Kofi hit him with the boot in his face and sat on the second rope. Kofi climbed to the top for a superplex, but Owens hit him.
Owens then hit a Senton and covered for a near fall. Kofi got up and grabbed Owens with a Trouble in Paradise after a leapfrog and won a quick knockout victory.
Kofi Kingston def. Kevin Owens at 16:28
After the match, Kofi celebrated and we were able to play some highlights of the match. Behind the scenes, Shane McMahon spoke to Elias and Drew McIntyre. Truth and Carmella were then shown behind the scenes. The truth is that he has people who follow him to the airport, to the mall and even to the dentist. He asked Carmella if she knew how hard it is to get stuffed while people try to trap you? Drake Maverick was pasting research posters everywhere.
In the arena, Daniel Bryan and Rowan have entered the ring …[c]
My catch: A fun match in which Owens got 90% of the offense before suffering a net defeat. I do not know why you should come back to this game at this point, because Kofi practically offended and defeated Owens. There is not much left to settle. I was surprised by the clean finish, but maybe they have plans for Ziggler later in the show.
Daniel Bryan interviewed in the ring by Kayla Braxton. She asked him what he thought, and he said that the team division of Smackdown was a joke. Rowan recounted a joke that the division was fundamentally non-existent. Bryan then said that they do not make jokes and have dedicated their lives to being the champions of the planet. Bryan then blamed the big ignorant fans who had spent the weekend eating the beautiful creatures of the Earth. He said that these animals were smart and had names. He also went to Oklahoma for hydraulic fracturing and asked them how they liked to have a record number of earthquakes. He then declared that their mission was to save the Tag Team division and save the planet.
Kayla said she knew some tag teams who wanted to challenge them, and that Heavy Machinery was out. Tucker acknowledged that he was an excellent team, but added that it was time to get into blue collar business. Otis turned and said his activity was organizing the Smackdown Tag Team Championships. Bryan laughed at their challenge and said that they agreed, but not here in this fracked state of Oklahoma. They then left while Heavy Machinery tried in vain to pump the crowd.
Behind the scenes, Bayley was prepared for his match. She has a match with Lacey Evans later. Mandy and Sonya have been shown distributing copies of Muscle and Fitness, which she covers. They met Ember Moon, who was reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. They threw the magazines on her and left. Carmella vs Mandy Rose is next …[c]
My catch: Who I want from me on this promo segment. Captain Planet, Bryan's gimmick, feels like a week-old donut, and they have not given him significant new content here. To his credit, the fracking stuff fueled the crowd's anger, but it was as if a promo had heard him cut into a house show. Heavy Machinery has a certain personality, but if they want to play with blue-collar heroes, they have to create video packages or promotions behind the scenes to sell them as ordinary men. Their gimmick is ill-defined on the main list, and it shows the crowd's reactions.
Mandy made his entrance. Carmella was already in the ring.
2. Carmella vs. Mandy Rose: Sonya was holding the magazine by the ring. Mandy controlled the action early, until Carmella hit a headache. Mandy fought back with a quick knee and nearly fell. Carmella hit a bronco-buster for the near-fall a moment later. Sonya jumped on the apron to cause a distraction, which allowed Mandy to roll Carmella for the cheap victory.
Mandy defeated Carmell at 2:48
Bayley vs. Lacey Evans was promoted for later. Backstage, R-Truth was backstage Metal Gear Solid. He avoided a fall of Jinder Mahal and hid behind the scenes in a random photo booth. The Main Event was pursued by all the stars. In the arena, Shane McMahon made her debut with Elias and Drew McIntyre for Shane McMahon's appreciation evening …[c]
My catch: Apart from Kofi and Owens who have a nice match, booking this show looks like an autopilot. I know this is not usually the most exciting time of WWE this year, but none of its current programs is particularly exciting, and the upcoming show in Saudi Arabia looks like an albatross from all over the world. the society.
A pre-cassette Aleister Black has been broadcast. He said that if we look at the heretical manner of man and that all he did, is it not obvious that … .Black then stopped. He said that he understands, he knows that people are just waiting for him to launch a name and argue with anyone. Black said that he was sitting there and waiting patiently for someone … someone to come fight with him.
Shane and his team were in the ring while his stupid Best in the World trophy was on board. Shane said he was initially hesitant when people mentioned the idea of Shane McMahon's appreciation evening, because he does not do what he does for fame or celebration. He said that he enjoyed his life and that he liked being in front of the crowd. He told himself a humble man and went home to help run a family business. He said that you are in the arena or at home, he promised that he has something that will make you smile. Shane then threw a video packet of his career exploits.
Shane dedicated the video to Roman Reigns and said he was fed up with seeing him act like he owned the place and broke all the rules. He said that not only would he beat Roman at Super Showdown, but that he was going to beat him. Elias spoke and said that it was powerful, and in his honor, he wrote him a song. He started singing for Shane to be the best, but R-Truth went on the track with Drake Maverick.
The truth pinned Maverick and celebrated. Shane was not happy and asked him if he was joking. All three want to conquer the truth. Elias strikes adrift. Galloway then kicked Claymore. Elias then pinned him to claim the championship 24/7. Shane told Elias that he was a genius. He then said he had an idea. Elias and Drew McIntyre would attack R-Truth and Roman Reigns. The 24/7 rules have been suspended until the end of tonight's Main Event. Shane and his lackey headed back.
Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviewed Lacey Evans, who was having tea time with Charlotte Flair. They agreed that they would return Bayley to the children's pool where she belongs. Bayley made his entry into the arena …[c]
My catch: Aleister Black is waiting for someone to argue with him or, in other words, he is not going to Saudi Arabia. Shane's celebrations have not been large enough for the heat to be there, and Drew McIntyre is completely lost when he is relegated to the rank of Shane's lackey. He is a world champion if he puts him on the right track, preferably in babyface, because his personal story is excellent.
Lars Sullivan was announced to face Lucha House Party at the Super Showdown. Lacey Evans has made his entry. Charlotte Flair had joined the commentary.
3. Lacey Evans vs. Bayley: The two women tied up and exchanged. Bayley went to get a blanket after Lacey made a mistake and got a double score. Lacey fought back with strikes, but Bayley touched one knee and nearly fell. Lacey recovered and bumped into the apron ring. Lacey then sent Bayley to the ring, and Charlotte threatened an attack, but fell back. Lacey then threw Bayley into the ring and worked on his left arm.
Bayley eventually fought and hit a body across. Lacey kicked back, then splashed Bayley in the corner for a close fall. She then went to pick up another springboard, but Bayley blocked and suspended Lacey on the top rope and sent her to the ground. Bayley followed with a dropkick and a clothesline on the floor. She then blew Charlotte with a forearm.
Lacey tried to roll up Bayley when Charlotte had the referee busy, but Bayley overturned the roles and rolled Lacey for the win when the referee came back.
Bayley defeated Lacey Evans at 8:51
After the match, Lacey attempted some free throws against Charlotte, who replied with a kick to the face. The two women were separated by referees. Behind the scenes, Carmella tried to give an encouraging speech to the truth. The Tag Team's main event was hooked, followed by Triple H and Orton at the Super Showdown. A video package for them was planned for the next …[c]
My catch: Lacey attack Charlotte was unexpected. I guess we'll see if they can fix it for another tag match on Raw. Otherwise, Bayley showing new shots in the ring was a welcome change for her. Hopefully they can join this good job in the ring with an improved character work.
Corey Graves said The Undertaker and Goldberg would be on Raw on Monday. We then had another Triple H and Orton video package. Andrade was interviewed behind the scenes. He was shown last week's comments by Finn Balor, in which he said he was not allowed to compete. Andrade took credit for balancing Balor on the scale. He told Balor that he would better find his inner demon when he will come to Andrade. In the arena, Roman Reigns made his entry …[c]
My catch: We've had some good video results, but I'm not sure how much enthusiasm people might have for another Triple H match against Orton. They did not do much exciting together in the ring. It would have been interesting to get further development for Balor, who seemed shot down last week. Should we believe that he is now energized and ready to free the demon?
We had a replay of the episode of Raw's Firefly Fun House. In the arena, R-Truth made his entrance and was jumped from behind by Shane and his team. Truth was making his way to the ring before he was jumped. Roman took Elias and Drew and went into the ring for the bell to ring.
4. Elias and Drew McIntyre vs. Roman Reigns and R-Truth: Shane distracted Roman early and let the heels take control. The stubs did some tags, and Roman was released from Elias with a Samoan drop. Drew and R-Truth finished the lawyers, and Drew sent Truth to the floor and slammed it into the barricade and the LED display board …[c]
Drew continued working on R-Truth. He touched a belly over his belly and covered him for two counts. Fire tags faster heels, which continued to isolate this punishment from the truth in their corner. The truth eventually sent Elias to the corner and threw Drew to the ring. The truth drew attention to Reigns, who landed on Elias and knocked out Drew from the apron. He made his ten clotheslines in a corner and hit a big boot. He then shot for a Superman Punch and then hit one on Drew while he was coming back on the apron. He then hit Elias by an alley, then hit Shane in the face.
Drew tried to sneak in from behind and hit a Claymore, but Reigns moved and Drew landed on the announcements table. Reigns hit a spear in the ring and covered for the win.
Roman Reigns and R-Truth defeated Elias and Drew McIntyre at 11:48.
After the match, Reigns hit another spear and Truth made a cover to regain his championship 24/7. The two men celebrated the closing of the show.
My catch: This program is nil, mainly because Reigns is described as a flawless being with an almost omniscient perception of what is going on around him. He was never really exposed to significant danger tonight and made Shane and his lackeys look like Keystone clicks. I'm a little scared that we're going to see Shane win a cheap Sunday, so they can continue this program with Stomping Grounds and Extreme Rules. The idea is nauseating but possible.
