1) Kevin Trollins is out to start starts us off tonight. He says he is the face of America and the real United States Champion. This of course brings AJ Styles out for his rematch. They banter back and forth until BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!! NO WAY!!! Jericho is back baybay. It’s the return of Jericho… welcome back MAAAAAAAN. Jericho puts AJ Styles on the list for trying to get his rematch before Jericho gets his. Kevin Owens tries to leave before anyone leaves until cool Uncle Shane and his nineties rap music hits. Shane puts Kevin Owens in a triple threat match against AJ Styles and Chris Jericho and that match will HAPPEN TONIGHT! This match will be judged against the Raw triple threat from earlier this year with Balor, Rollins and Miz no doubt. My guess is it won’t be as good as the other match.
2) Nakamura and Corbin are out for their rematch. Man Corbin has a nasty clothesline. You know I said this in the live chat the other night but there is something about Corbin’s attire that bothers me and keeps me from saying he can be a star. Corbin really works to Nakamura’s strengths this program has been the closest thing so far to what we know Nakamura to be. Nakamura’s strikes look so amazing when it’s being done to a guy the size of Corbin. Also with Corbin also striking Nakamura it makes Nakamura look very strong as he’s able to overcome it. The Deep Six is such an impressive move every time I see it. Nakamura picks up the win on Smackdown over Corbin clean with the KenSasha! Spelling?
3) We get a backstage segment with Natayla and Naomi…. I guess we are going to hear about the Hart Family and how Naomi will snatch Natayla bald. Pretty much paint by numbers between the two and Carmella shows up in a Free Ellswroth shirt.
4) We now have a tag team women’s match with Charlotte and Becky vs. Tamina and Lana. Hopefully this leads to a Charlotte and Becky feud. You know Tamina is starting to grow on me. Don’t get me wrong she will never be the best worker in the ring but there is something abuot her that I keep noticing her. Lana is not terrible in the ring and I mean that as a compliment they could certainly have the next Trish Stratus with her. Charlotte gets the hot tag and the crowd is going nuts with WOO chants. Charlotte hits the running boot on Lana for the victory. Tamina is clearly upset after the match and it looks like we may have a Lana face turn upcoming.
5) They recap the Punjabi Prison match and let me just say, I wanted that match to be good I really did however it wasn’t. Mahal Is out to cut a paint by numbers promo which for him isn’t good. Mahal wants to know who he will be facing at Summerslam. Cena interrupts the modern day maharaja. Says he is the number one contender and puts Mahal over. This of course brings cool uncle Shane out to make yet another amazing Smackdown Live match. This time for next week…. Shinsuke Nakamura vs John Cena next week with the winner facing Mahal at Summerslam.
6) Up next we have the tag team version of a network special rematch. We have Aiden English in the ring not generating the type of heat his Raw counterpart Elias Sampson has been. Is it just me or does Dillinger look lost every time he comes out? This is a pretty paint by numbers tag match that leads to Sami Zayn getting the helluva kick on Mike Kanelis. Tye Dillinger and Sami Zayn could be a very cool and loved tag team in the WWE.
7) Big E begins to welcome themselves to the ring when the Usos attack them before he can finish. How have they not done this before? The Usos put the beat down on the New Day. We then get a promo backstage from Nakamura saying Cena can’t see him and that he will be going on to face Mahal at Summerslam.

8) Main Event Time! Kevin Owens facial expressions are always on point the rest of the roster should study that. This is a very fluid triple threat and it works much like the Raw triple threat did as Owens is such a hated heel by both of the loved baby faces. This match is absolutely great and added intrigue as I’m not really sure who is going to win. Sorry that this isn’t a long as it should be but I’m completely sucked into this match. Jericho hits the code breaker on Styles and almost has the pin-fall to become champ. Kicks galore and everyone is down. Owens hits the frog splash and Styles throws Owens out the ring and REGAINS HIS UNITED STATES TITLE!
