Becky Lynch's Super Show-Down Surprise
SmackDown women's Lynch champion headed out to close the show. She said that six weeks ago at SummerSlam, she just started taking what she wanted. She now runs this division and has made the most important thing in WWE. The field of learning is a little bit better than you are in the back and being treated as a fool. Now she's always ready to go, she's watching, before replaying the Titantron. When we came back. Lynch was laughing and said she could watch that all day. She wants to know where she is, but come on Saturday, she's going to make sure everyone knows she's the face of WWE. She is helping the cause by revealing a new Super Show-Down poster in the ring which featured only her, standing on the top of the photo shoot last week.
Flair's music hit and run to the ring, immediately attacking the champion and tossing here through her own poster. She is locked in the figure. Flair stood tall on Tuesday, four days before she gets her name back.
Lynch remains the best thing going on in the company right now, and more impeccable mic work on Tuesday night in a main event was still another stern reminder of that. As much as we can hate to hear this, too, it was absolutely the right call to get to the bottom of the page. This blood feud continues to catch your attention in the week and, yes, that's mainly due to the breakout performance of the Irish Lass Kicker. Grade: B +
What happened in Milwaukee?
Rusev and Lana hit the ring, and the attack from English was again played on the Titantron. Rusev said the attack ended with their friendship, but he took it a step further with the Milwaukee claim. Aiden's pale body apart, and then the "Bulgarian Brute" called out English to present the evidence. After some stalling, English finally played a video on the screen, which began with his rehearsing his heel lines. A knock hit the door and it was Lana, who entered the room and let him know that there was something going on. Lana then belted out, "I want you …" and the video cut at that point. English said that he's really like to show us the rest, but legal obligations are preventing him from making that happen. With Lana in the ring before flying up the ramp after English. Lana remained in the ring with a concerned look on her face. Backstage, Rusev was in search of English still is approached by his wife, who said there is more to the video than he thinks. Rusev said they're not doing this there and stormed off.
OK, it was made pretty crystal clear where the rest of the day is coming back to us. Still, the focus is on the journey for now, not the destination, and everyone involved is doing a fantastic job thus far. English as a heel on his own is breaking out, and we're getting revenge-seeking husband Rusev as the sympathetic babyface. Pro wrestling is all about the right people in the right roles, and that's what we have here. Grade: A-
AJ Styles sends a message from home
General Manager Paige kicked off SmackDown on Tuesday night to address last week's diabolical actions of Joe. Paige said she thought she would not be in the position she is right now. What Samoa Joe did last week, and by heading to Styles' home, he committed the worst criminal act in WWE history. She replayed the footage on the Titantron of Joe's invasion from last week. Paige revealed that the situation did not escalate any further last week, as she called the police and Joe had trespassing charges against him. The general manager said she discussed the situation with WWE management, who recommended Joe be fired. But before being executed, it was called the opposite, and it was recommended against the firing because, in that case, it would not be possible to get his hands on the hands of those who have been terrorizing his family.
Styles, seated on the couch inside his house, appeared on the screen and apologized to the fans for not being at SmackDown. He said that, under the circumstances, he does not think he'll be able to perform tonight. He is not sure of what he is doing and he's not leaving his home until he gets confirmation that Joe is on his way to Australia. The WWE champion wants to be at home with his family, and his daughter having a nightmares about her "Uncle Joe" hiding in her closet. Styles closed by saying that he's going to bury Alive Joe (yes, I did not think the same thing did anything else when I did not like it) as Saturday at Super-Show-Down.
I'm never going against it, but it's a case of it. Of course Styles would not want to leave his or her way to the end of the world. From the same house to the house of the same house If there was any glaring issue with this segment, it was a long time ago when you watched WWE long enough, you're aware of the level of hyperbole there .Grade: B-
What else happened on SmackDown?

- New Day cooks: The SmackDown tag team fields – accompanied by Mr. Bootyworth – were set up in the ring to film a pilot cooking show. As they were about Bootyworth revealing the secret to the pancakes, The Bar headed towards the ring. The two teams ended up brawling in the ring, with the Super Show-Down challengers eventually getting the better of the champions. With all three members of New Day laid out, Sheamus & Cesaro humiliated Bootyworth by filling his hat with pancake batter and placing it back on his head.
- Randy Orton vs. Tye Dillinger ended in a no contest: After the attack that took place last Tuesday, Dillinger approached Paige earlier in the night and said that he wanted Orton. He got Orton, and even jumped out to get the upper hand early on the outside. Orton eventually overcame, though, and proceeded to maul Dillinger, a beating which included removing the turnbuckle and pulling at his finger in yet another sickening visual.
