Tonight, Brock Lesnar will defend his WWE Universal Championship against Finn Balor. In the build up to this match, Gallows & Anderson have attempted to “help” Finn Balor, promising the challenger victory in exchange for his loyalty to “The Club”. So far, Finn Balor has resisted the opportunity to take the low road, but with the biggest challenge of his career tonight, will the temptation be too much for The Demon King?</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <hr>After Cole, Graves and Saxton introduce the show, we hear the music of AJ Styles. Making his way down to the ring, AJ Styles is described as the “Standard Bearer” of the WWE, and the man who raises the bar every single night. As he did at Payback, and this past Monday night on Raw, AJ Styles will open the show with his open challenge.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/6KGnlF2.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Taking a microphone, AJ Styles says that everybody here knows exactly what this is about by now, and there are still a bunch of guys in the back who want to accept this challenge. Instead tonight, he just wants to talk about Gallows & Anderson, and he doesn’t know if Gallows might take the challenge, but either way he has something to say. Beginning to talk about how he doesn’t want things to get personal between them, AJ Styles reiterates that he is doing what he feels is best for his career, and asks his friend to accept that. Before AJ Styles can continue however, he is cut off by music that we haven’t heard in a very long time…</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/0P95pPb.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Making her way to the ring, Lana tells AJ Styles that his time to talk is over, nobody is interested in what he has to say. Lana says that she is here now, and when a woman as beautiful as her enters a building, these tiny brained American’s can’t focus on anything else. But AJ Styles had better focus tonight, because this is the night his Open Challenge ends. Encouraging the audience to rise to their feet, she passionately introduces “The Bulgarian Brute… The Super Athlete… and a Real American Hero...”, Rusev! </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/6KGnlF2.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/ED0dzNJ.png</span><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>AJ Styles vs. Rusev</strong></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Heading into the match with a head of steam, Rusev shocked AJ Styles in the opening moments of the match, dominating him in a way very few have before. A good look for Rusev, this match served as a great reintroduction for the former United States Champion. AJ Styles did get back into the match, and what followed was a very good opener. Continuing to be very competitive in the match, the commentators continually put over Rusev’s ability to remain in the contest, in turn highlighting the standard that AJ Styles has set since his move to the brand.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As is always the case in AJ Styles matches, there is a moment when the balance switches, and the “Phenomenal One” zones in on the victory. Unusual in this case was the “Lana Effect”, which continued to distract Styles as he went to the outside. Turning to her to gloat, as he set up for the Phenomenal Forearm, AJ Styles made a mistake in doing this and Rusev was able to unbalance him on the rope. Crotching himself, AJ Styles dangled from the top rope, allowing Rusev to hit the prone Superstar with a Machka Kick. Styles flopped to the ground, only to be hit with a second Machka Kick in quick succession. Covering the Phenomenal One, Rusev scored the 1… 2… 3!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Rusev (via pinfall in 11:22)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Put over as a massive upset, Rusev’s celebration shows that he is as surprised as anybody. As Lana joins the elated Rusev in the ring, the commentators talk about how impressive Rusev’s return was and emphasised how shocking it was to see AJ Styles finally lose a match as a member of the Raw brand. Having built a huge amount of momentum, the reaction of Styles is clearly one of shock. Deemed to be right on track for a shot at the Universal Championship, this turn of events casts new doubts over the future direction of AJ Styles.</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/WfdLeyk.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/FxQ42Q0.png</span><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Dolph Ziggler vs. Shelton Benjamin</strong></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Recovering from a huge shock in the opener, the following match is introduced by a video package. Targeting Shelton Benjamin from his return to Raw, Dolph Ziggler has made sure to highlight the 7 year absence of Shelton Benjamin. However, as they stepped into the ring for the second time, it was clear that Shelton was more than a match for Dolph Ziggler. Having proved this by beating him previously, Shelton Benjamin had to contest with a much more defensive Dolph Ziggler, who looked to abandon the gung-ho approach which led to defeat last time.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Fairing much better, Dolph Ziggler appeared to be in control of the contest, and inevitably his arrogance shone through. Coming close to victory on a number of occasions, the attitude of Dolph Ziggler once again proved his downfall. As a result of this, Shelton Benjamin was able to pick up another valuable victory, athletically avoiding a Zig Zag, before hitting a Paydirt for the victory!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Shelton Benjamin (via pinfall in 8:47)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following an embarrassing defeat, a frustrated Dolph Ziggler took his anger out of Shelton Benjamin. Hitting the victor with a Superkick from behind, Dolph Ziggler made it clear that this rivalry was far from over!</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Discussing the high level of competition on display tonight, the commentators went over to the Kickoff Show panel, who talked about the upcoming Tables Match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. Torn as usual, the general consensus was that Roman Reigns would have to be on top of his game - and show no sign of ring rust - if he is to come out victorious against “The Monster Amongst Men” Braun Strowman. This was followed by a video package, highlighting the depths of the hatred between these two men. Showing various clips from their long and heated rivalry, this match was put over as being a long time in the making, and billed as two uncontrollable Superstars willing to do anything to keep the other down!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Tables Match</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/rKbfUTq.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/BNgO464.png</span><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns</strong></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> While undoubtedly chaotic and violent as past encounters between these two have been, it is probably safe to say this match fell somewhat short of the high standards set by previous contests. Brawling all around the ringside, it was also notable that the audience seemed much less on board with the match than we had seen them. Working hard, two of the most physical performers in the WWE today went all around the ringside area, even spilling into the audience on occasion. Somehow avoiding going through a table, while simultaneously destroying everything else in their way, the path of destruction left behind them was perfect demonstration of the fact that these two were willing to leave everything in the arena to pick up the victory.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Eventually settling back at the ringside area, Roman Reigns began a barrage against Braun, hitting him with all his best shots. Setting up a table on the outside of the ring, Roman Reigns looked to be in pole position for the victory, when Strowman teetered on the ring apron. Attempting to take Strowman down with a Superman Punch, Braun only remained in the match by his fingertips, holding on desperately to the top rope by one hand. Another Superman Punch looked set to finish the match, when Braun grabbed Roman from midair. Catching him and transitioning the attempted strike into a Powerslam, Braun Strowman managed to launch Reigns and himself, off the ring apron and crashing into the table below. While both men crashed through the table, it was adjudged that Braun Strowman had picked up the victory, driving Reigns through the table with a Powerslam.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Braun Strowman (in 12:02)</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With carnage all around ringside, the focus remained on the heap of rubble that contained the two Superstars involved in the match. Eventually, the “Monster Amongst Men” emerged from the debris, standing triumphant over his foe. Remaining on the ground, even after he had regain consciousness, a mentally and physically exhausted Roman Reigns was helped to the back, while his rival stood tall in the middle of the ring.</div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/1isdAPU.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/aUM5Gup.png</span><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte</strong></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Heading over to a video package, we see the long and deep history between Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair. From their friendship in their days in NXT, to their storied rivalry on the main brand. Looking more recently, we see Becky Lynch’s arrival on Raw. This offered a new challenge to “The Queen”, who clearly felt threatened by the arrival of the former Smackdown Womens Champion. This was displayed as the match began, with Charlotte first looking to avoid Becky Lynch, before attempting to take shortcuts during the match.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> What followed was a back and forth contest, with both women coming close to victory on a number of occasions. Seemingly taking control of the match, Becky Lynch locked Flair into a Dis-Arm-Her, with the record-breaking Champion looking close to tapping out.

Switching focus to his match up next, Big Show becomes much more serious, talking about the actions of Kevin Owens. He calls the United States Champion a “disgrace”, and a man without the moral and values to represent this Championship. Everybody who has ever trusted Kevin Owens has been stabbed in the back… but Big Show sees right through him. That is why tonight - when he goes one on one with Kevin Owens - Big Show will go wherever this fight takes them… and end it with a Knockout Punch.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Seemingly retreating from what seemed to be a natural promo closer, Big Show then begins to speak sincerely, going off script to talk about how hard he has worked to extend his career.

This saw him take control early on. As a result, when he was able to escape the ring, Kevin Owens looked to bring weapons into play. Serving him well initially, Big Show was again able to better the United States Champion, destroying him with a Chair in the same way Owens had Jericho last month.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Relentless and clearly desperate to win, Big Show barely gave Owens an inch, and remained on top of the man who has looked, in recent weeks, to present the image of a changed man. Commenting on his, the announcers suggested that after this beating, KO could well be a changed man. Eventually, Kevin Owens used his well-known ring smarts to break down the World’s Largest Athlete, and came back into the match. From here, it appeared as though the Champion would retain his gold, as he used his well-known ability to employ weapons in an effective manner.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Kevin Owens’ momentum grew, it was clear that his confidence did also. Now able to take Big Show off his feet - and place a Chair on his chest - Owens decided to go to the top rope. However, before he could hit the Frog Splash, Big Show had made it to his feet. Owens, now sat on the top turnbuckle, fought Big Show off and took the Chair from the giant’s hands. He then kicked Show away and looked to drop down from the second rope onto him. As he came down, Big Show was able to take a step back, and punched the chair out of the hands of KO. This caused Kevin Owens to drop the chair out of the ring and fall into the ropes. When he rebounded back, Kevin Owens walked straight into a Knockout Punch, before being covered for the 1… 2… 3!</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner:</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Big Show (via pinfall in 10:12; </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>NEW United States Champion[/i)</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> After the match, a proud Big Show was handed the United States Championship and stood looking at the centerplate in the middle of the ring.

Managing to take control, Bayley was able to hit Nia with a Bayley-To-Bayley from the second rope, a move which allowed her to score an all important victory!</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em><strong>Winner:</strong></em></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> Bayley (via pinfall in 9:29)</em></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> Sending back over to the interview area, we see that the Number One Contender is now stood by, ahead of tonight’s Main Event.</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/rUEA0yt.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/jJYsxLV.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> Finn Balor takes the time to respond to Paul Heyman, saying that if “The Beast” isn’t bluffing, then he better be ready for a surprise.

Somewhat surprisingly, Balor was not in his demon attire and instead made his way to the ring in his usual ring gear. Questions over Gallows & Anderson quickly became secondary however, as “The Beast” made his way to the ring, carrying his Universal Championship. When the bell rang, all pre-match talk flew out of the window and Brock Lesnar soon took control. Overwhelmed, it appeared that it may have been Finn Balor who had underestimated his opponent, as Brock Lesnar ragdolled him around the ring. Manhandling the much smaller opponent, it didn’t take long before Finn Balor became a resident of “Suplex City”. Taking his time, Brock Lesnar ignored the audience’s reaction, as the “Suplex Count” grew by the minute.</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> In just over ten minutes, Brock Lesnar had completely destroyed Finn Balor, with a particularly nasty German Suplex sending him across the announce tables. Rolling Balor back into the ring, Brock received his first meaningful offence of the match, which did rock him. However, as Finn Balor came back at Lesnar, “The Beast” plucked him out of midair, looking to hit the challenger with an F-5. However, the timely appearance of Gallows & Anderson on the entrance way caused him to drop Balor to the ground.</em></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/EGHPVJD.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/Hp3H3Fu.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"></span></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> Holding their hands up, having caught Lesnar’s attention, Gallows & Anderson tried to convince Brock that they had no intention of getting involved, but Lesnar didn’t buy it.

Realising their involvement was about to cost Finn the match, Gallows & Anderson ran to the ring. When they got there, the team were on the receiving end of a brutal beatdown from the fired up Lesnar, with Gallows eventually taking a huge German Suplex, while Anderson ate an F-5.

The momentary spell of control from Balor awoke something within “The Beast” and he zoned in on his opponent. Catching Balor from an attempted top rope dive, Brock Lesnar once again took to throwing the challenger across the ring.

Still carrying the chip on his shoulder, Brock Lesnar drapped the Championship over his other shoulder, leaving up the ramp to little fanfare. While Paul Heyman looked to hype up the win, it was clear that to Brock Lesnar, the match had just been another day at the office. As we signed off, the announce team’s suggestion was that we don’t know when we’ll next see Lesnar, who appears more disinterested in the “WWE circus” than ever before...</em></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote>

Featured heavily in the package are the victories of the returning Rusev over AJ Styles, Big Show’s United States Championship victory and Brock Lesnar’s successful defence of the WWE Universal Championship! Heading to the commentary booth, Michael Cole, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton introduce the show, telling us that tonight we will hear from Finn Balor, Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman after the events of Extreme Rules... Sending over to the ring, we see that Lana has already made her entrance…</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/0P95pPb.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Taking the time to run down the audience, Lana talks about Extreme Rules and how AJ Styles, the WWE Universe and the entire world were shocked, by one man. Introducing this man, Lana calls on the WWE Universe to rise to their feet, for the “Super Athlete”... Rusev!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/ED0dzNJ.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Once Rusev enters the ring, Lana talks about her man, saying that last night he shocked everybody… except her!

Lana says that if AJ Styles </span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>was</em></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> the standard bearer, then Rusev has seized the flag and will march on Monday Night Raw!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Rusev then takes the microphone, starting intensely while he recounts the moment he hit AJ Styles with two Machka Kicks and became the first man to defeat “The Phenomenal One” since Styles moved to Raw. After this, Rusev visibly loosens up, appearing much more at ease as he proceeds. Rusev then talks about his return to the brand, claiming that he has been in the wings waiting for an opportunity. An opportunity that Kurt Angle failed to give him. Of course, he isn't surprised that Kurt Angle is jealous of a “Real American Hero”. Clearly looking to rile his boss up, Rusev says that Angle didn't want him back because he is the greatest pure athlete in the WWE. Having heard enough of this, AJ Styles comes down to the ring.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/6KGnlF2.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Before getting into what Rusev has said, AJ Styles says he needs to make one thing clear. He makes no excuse for last night, saying that at Extreme Rules, Rusev was the better man. What AJ Styles does have issue with, is Rusev claiming to be an “American Hero”. Asking if Rusev knows what it means to be an American Hero, Styles also calls Rusev out for his disrespect of Kurt Angle. Rusev is dismissive, causing AJ Styles to become confrontational. Standing in front of her husband, Lana tells AJ Styles that he is not a man, and he needs to step down. Last night, Rusev proved that he is a superior to AJ Styles in every way. Firing back, Styles says that last night proved nothing! As he goes to continue, AJ Styles is cut off by the music of Gallows & Anderson. Rolling his eyes, AJ Styles clearly isn’t in the mood to be interrupted.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/EGHPVJD.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/Hp3H3Fu.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> As the pair make their way to the ring, Luke Gallows says that he thinks they can solve this little problem… they’re both wrong! Karl Anderson says that they’re here to help, saying that last night did “prove” something. Something that they knew all along. Anderson then goes on to explain that last night, as they predicted, AJ Styles couldn’t get it done. AJ Styles takes his as a slight, but Gallows tells him that they aren’t trying to make a brother feel bad, it’s just facts... </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Nonetheless, AJ Styles is pissed off about this, as Anderson & Gallows suggest that if Styles had made the right call, they would have ensured that he had beaten Rusev. Laughing this suggestion off, Rusev claims that they could have brought an entire club, or even an army of men, and Gallows & Anderson still wouldn’t have put him down. As the men in the ring continue to bicker, Kurt Angle’s music hits and he comes to the top of the ramp.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/J8t3rOC.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Telling the four men to stop, Kurt Angle struggles to get through to them, eventually opting to talk to Lana, as the only one he thinks he will get a reasoned response out of. While their words don’t go unnoticed, Kurt is also aware of the value that Rusev & Lana have to the brand. Right now however, it seems they have some issues to settle, and these people want action! For that reason, up next, we will see Gallows & Anderson go up against the team of AJ Styles… and Rusev! </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/6KGnlF2.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/ED0dzNJ.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/EGHPVJD.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/Hp3H3Fu.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>AJ Styles & Rusev vs. Gallows & Anderson</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> From the outset of this match, it wouldn’t have taken a genius to figure out how it would pan out. At each other’s throats from the opening bell, there was never any inclination that Rusev and Styles would be able to function as a cohesive unit. This led to Gallows & Anderson taking control, and AJ Styles finding himself isolated on their side of the ring.

Making his way to the ring, a solemn looking Finn Balor takes a microphone from ringside.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/rUEA0yt.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Finn Balor starts by saying that last night was a wake up call. Almost one year since he debuted on Monday Night Raw, and he can honestly say, Extreme Rules was the worst moment of his WWE career. Sure, at Summerslam he was injured, and he was even forced to miss his first WrestleMania. But there was one thing present in all his time on the sidelines, that isn’t there now. That thing is hope. From the moment he was forced to relinquish the WWE Universal Championship, just 24hrs after winning it, Finn had a goal. A single-minded drive that had three simple steps. Step 1: Recover from injury, Step 2: Earn his title rematch, Step 3: Become the two-time Universal Champion. Having achieved the first two steps, Finn Balor felt that last night, victory was inevitable. He was wrong.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Whether he underestimated Brock Lesnar or not, Finn says that he can’t look back with regret, or say what he would have changed, because he isn’t sure that anything could have prepared him for “The Beast Incarnate”. But he does take a positive away from last night, and he knows that down the line - if it’s Brock Lesnar or whoever holds the Universal Championship - he will be ready for anything! Before Balor can continue, he is cut off by Gallows & Anderson, who make their second appearance of the night.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/EGHPVJD.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/Hp3H3Fu.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Looking baffled and confused, Gallows & Anderson ask Finn Balor if he’s “kidding them”. They don’t want to disrespect their buddy, but they swear that he and AJ didn’t used to be this stupid. Gallows suggests that the support of these fans must have an IQ lowering effect. Following this up, Karl Anderson asks if Finn is sure there’s nothing he would have done differently, before suggesting that if he’d accepted their help, maybe he would be stood here as WWE Universal Champion. Luke Gallows then asks what is up with Finn, and AJ Styles for that matter. Not only was the old Finn Balor cooler and more fun, he was just… better.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Finn Balor doesn’t like this, telling Gallows & Anderson that if they have a problem with him, there is a way they can settle it. Backing up, before trying to lighten the mood, Gallows & Anderson says it isn’t like that. They don’t wanna fight with their buddies, they just want them to wake up. At Extreme Rules, they offered AJ and Finn a last chance saloon. Both men rejected that offer… and both men lost. In light of that, they’re offering it one last time. Finn Balor has a match in tonight’s Main Event against Rusev and with a pat of the shoulder, Luke Gallows’ message is clear “don’t make the same mistake AJ Styles did”. Gallows & Anderson then walk off, leaving Finn Balor to contemplate their words... </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Heading to the back, we see a somewhat concerned looking Kurt Angle.

Paul Heyman says that tonight’s announcement will have a major effect on Brock’s relationship with his brand going forward. As long as the provisions Paul has set out are met, then there should be no issue between Kurt and Brock.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/LRXUgIC.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/oofrX4c.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Jinder Mahal vs. Mojo Rawley</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Attempting to implant some semblance of meaning into this match, the commentators harboured back to WrestleMania, and the end of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, where Mojo Rawley’s friend “Gronk” helped him to victory.

Sheamus then enters the ring, hitting Big Cass with a Brogue Kick, sending him to the outside. Isolating Enzo Amore, Sheamus becomes the legal man and goes for another Brogue Kick.

That isn’t what he is here to talk about. Roman Reigns is here to talk about himself, about his victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania, and his subsequent defeats at the hands of Finn Balor and Braun Strowman.

Not only did Kurt Angle conspire to screw him out of his Championship last night, he is now forcing him to go alone against both Big Show and Shelton Benjamin. Kurt tells Kevin that he hopes that he’s learned a lesson from this. The more he isolates himself from the rest of the roster, the worse it will be for him. Kurt tells Owens that he has great potential, but if he doesn’t change his attitude and work on his interpersonal skills, he will never get anywhere in this business. Like it or not, Kurt says it’s the truth. As the GM continues to pontificate, his face changes. Taking a step back, we see that a figure has cast a shadow over Kevin Owens. Undermining the pep talk he tried to give Kevin, Kurt points behind him. As Owens turns around, the camera pulls back - revealing Braun Strowman stood behind him. </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/rKbfUTq.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Nodding at Owens with an emotionless expression, it appears that Kevin Owens has found his partner at the last moment…</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/pW8btgp.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/FxQ42Q0.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/rKbfUTq.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/4Ntosoy.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Big Show & Shelton Benjamin vs. Braun Strowman & Kevin Owens</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Back from the commercial break, we see that Braun Strowman did in fact offer his services to Owens. The commentary team talk about how strange it is to see Strowman stood on the apron, but suggest that his motive is more to do with a chance to cause chaos, rather than an act of altruism. With several interesting dynamics, such as Big Show’s ongoing rivalry with Braun Strowman, the first time meeting of the “Monster Amongst Men” and Kevin Owens’ first chance at redemption following his defeats to both men, this match was hotly contest. While both teams stood a chance at victory, Braun Strowman provided the x-factor, entering “the zone” and proving too much for his opponents. This led to the end of the match, as Strowman hit a Running Powerslam to put Shelton Benjamin down for the 1… 2… 3!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winners:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Braun Strowman & Kevin Owens (via pinfall in 8:29)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Having scored a victory, largely thanks to his partner, Owens uses the win as a moment of self-congratulations. Patting Strowman on the back, it is clear that Owens bugs the “Monster Amongst Men”. Backing up, Owens is apologetic, but still tries to raise Strowman’s hand in the ring. Clearly mistaken in his belief that Strowman’s involvement had anything to do with helping him, Kevin Owens is surprised when Strowman shrugs him off, and barges past him up the ramp.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Now alone with the prone Shelton Benjamin, Kevin Owens took on the “Nelson from The Simpsons” role, laughing at Benjamin after he fell to a Running Powerslam from Braun Strowman. What the schadenfreude indulging Kevin Owens failed to realise was that Big Show was stood right behind him. Feeling a tap on the shoulder, Kevin Owens turns straight into a Knockout Punch from Big Show. Holding his Championship high in the air, we are informed that the laughing Big Show will hold a “Great American Bash” next week, celebrating his second reign as United States Champion!</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Returning from the break, we see a graphic promoting the fact that AJ Styles will go one on one with Luke Gallows - next week. Interestingly, it is noted that AJ Styles has personally requested the match, marking the first time that he has initiated a clash between himself and one of Gallows & Anderson. This is followed by footage from “earlier tonight”, which shows Rusev’s betrayal of AJ Styles, which led to Anderson pinning Styles. We then see selected clips from Finn Balor’s interaction with Gallows & Anderson, as they suggested that both Balor and Styles are making a mistake in not accepting their help.

From the offset, the story of the match was built around Rusev’s impressive return and Finn Balor’s wear and tear from last night. Focussing on the back of Finn Balor, Rusev’s strategy was commended by commentary, highlighting the damage that was done to the body part during Balor’s trip to “Suplex City” last night. This allowed Rusev to control a large portion of the match, coming close to another impressive victory.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> This time however, Finn Balor was able to mount a valiant comeback, taking Rusev off his feet and using his athletic ability to take control. Still feeling the effects of last night’s match, as well as the targeted assault from Rusev, Finn Balor dragged himself to the top rope, looking to hit a Coupe de Grace. At this point, Lana climbed on the apron to distract Balor.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/0P95pPb.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Refusing to be distracted, the seconds delay that her involvement caused did ensure that Rusev was able to roll out of the attempt Footstomp. Rolling through, Balor quickly returned to his feet, only to be met with a Machka Kick from Rusev. Falling to his knees, Balor is hit with a second Machka Kick from Rusev. Laid on his back, Finn Balor takes a boot to his injured spine, before Rusev locks in the Accolade. Already out of it, Balor is unable to even attempt to break free, as the referee calls for the bell.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winner:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Rusev (via submission in 12:26)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Standing tall in the ring, the commentators put over the fact that Rusev has - in two consecutive nights - pinned AJ Styles and Finn Balor.

Showing a bigger picture approach, Lana is able to convince Rusev to leave the ring, signalling around her waist that the announcement may be Championship related. This results in Rusev agreeing to leave.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Speaking first, Paul Heyman says that the first announcement is related to Kurt Angle’s, but is also related to these people. Claiming that the fans, as well as the other WWE Superstars and the public in general, disgust Brock Lesnar, Heyman says that Lesnar wants to make as much money as he can, while interacting with these people at little as possible. Trying to get him back on track, Angle defends the audience, and tells Heyman to get on with it!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Refocusing, Paul Heyman uses his unique, colourful verbiage to eventually get to his announcement, where he informs the WWE Universe that Brock Lesnar’s next Championship defence will take place at the biggest event of the Summer, at the Barclays Center, Summerslam! He then hands the floor to Kurt Angle, who switches focus to the upcoming Raw WWE Network Special.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Having been something of a guarded secret, Kurt Angle announces that the name of that Raw Exclusive Special will be… “Fatal 4 Way”. This leads into further explanation that, at the event, there will be a Fatal 4 Way match in the Main Event, the winner of which will become the Number One Contender to the WWE Universal Championship. The man who comes out victorious from that match, will be the challenger to Brock Lesnar in the Main Event of Summerslam! Kurt Angle then announces that the first man confirmed for that match is not his favourite person at the moment, but has nonetheless deserved it… Rusev!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Taking control back, Kurt Angle looks surprised as Paul Heyman says that Rusev isn’t really the first guy in the match, but he guesses Kurt Angle must have forgotten.

Last Week on Smackdown:
  • In the Main Event, Randy Orton defeated The Miz. However, during the match, Randy Orton sustained a facial injury.

  • Seth Rollins’ personal investigation into the attack of Shinsuke Nakamura took a questionable turn, as he was caught looking through the bags of American Alpha. Claiming that “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about”, Seth Rollins’ accusatory tone did not go down well with the former Smackdown Tag Team Champions.

  • Emma & Natalya put the Women’s Division on note, taking out every other member of the active Women’s roster in a single night!

Tonight on Smackdown:
  • Shane McMahon addresses the WWE Universe, updating the status of the WWE Champion, Randy Orton.

  • Two huge announcements will be made, both regarding the upcoming Money In The Bank event.

  • The Miz & Maryse present Miz TV, featuring the recently returned New Day!

  • Seth Rollins goes one on one with Jason Jordan, at the request of American Alpha.

<hr>Opening up the show, we hear of sound of Shane McMahon’s theme music. Making his way down to the ring in trademark style, Shane interacts with his Smackdown Live audience, before entering the ring.

http://i.imgur.com/otOJ5y5.png

When it comes to addressing the audience, Shane McMahon says that he hates to once again be the bearer of bad news, but in the name of transparency, he has to do this. Smackdown Live has, and always will be, the people’s show. The show where what gets put on the television screen, is a direct result of feedback from the WWE Universe. For that reason, Shane McMahon must confirm that their roster has received yet another injury setback, this time in the shape of their biggest star, the WWE Champion, Randy Orton. Shane explains that Randy Orton is expected to miss a month or two of action, and will
not
be able defend his Championship in that time, including at the Money In The Bank pay-per-view. Despite this, the decision has been made that Randy will
not
vacate the Championship, and instead the Money in the Bank Ladder match will Main Event that show. All that means is that the match for the WWE’s “Golden Ticket” will be more star studded than ever before!

 

Shane McMahon also has another huge announcement, and goes on to confirm that at Money In The Bank we will witness the first ever Money In The Bank Ladder match featuring female Superstars! Five of Smackdown Live’s top Womens Wrestlers will make history, with one of them become the first ever “Miss Money In The Bank”. Having made those announcements, Shane McMahon leaves the ring, as we head into the first commercial break of the night…

<hr>As we return from the break, we see that Emma & Natalya are stood outside of Shane McMahon’s office. Before Shane can even go through the door, they begin questioning him about the female Money In The Bank.

http://i.imgur.com/IeJZzh4.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/WY2irym.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/otOJ5y5.png

Telling them not to worry, Shane tells Emma & Natalya that they
are
in the Money In The Bank. These two women may claim that they’re “Better Together”, but at Money In The Bank it is every woman for herself. With that said, that isn’t the case tonight, when Emma & Natalya face two of the other Women confirmed for that match, Sasha Banks and Mickie James!

http://i.imgur.com/Bdifv0m.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/f7TdqCI.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/3QWGzza.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/lOC1Kjz.png

Breezango vs. Slater & Rhyno

Having had victory stolen from them on the Backlash kick-off show, this match allowed Heath Slater & Rhyno a level of revenge over the team of Fandango & Tyler Breeze. While Breezango showed that they could hold their own, they were no match for Rhyno & Slater. Fired up in recent weeks by the disrespectful Baron Corbin, the former Smackdown Tag Team Champions left nothing to chance. Hitting Tyler Breeze with a Gore, Rhyno was able to score the victory.

 

Winners:
Slater & Rhyno (via pinfall in 5:50)

 

As Rhyno goes to leave the ring, Heath Slater tells him to hold on. Taking a microphone from ringside, Heath Slater says that he has something to address… and he wants to bring Baron Corbin out here, right now. Thinking this is a bad idea, Rhyno tries to get Slater to reconsider, but he won’t be deterred. Heath Slater says that if Baron Corbin is any kind of man, he will come out here right now and face Slater! After a few more moments, Baron Corbin appears on the ramp, but makes it clear he intends to come no further.

http://i.imgur.com/1XvLLIT.png

Heath Slater says that some things in the WWE really piss him off, and as a man who is a father, and wants to bring his kids up the right way, he
has
to speak his mind. As an American, it is his duty to tell the truth, regardless of the consequences. So while Baron Corbin may be the biggest bully in the WWE, Heath Slater isn’t going to let him walk all over him. Baron Corbin doesn’t take Slater seriously in the slightest, telling Heath that if he - or Rhyno for that matter - wants to ever see his kids again, then he’d better keep out of Baron Corbin’s way.

 

Heath Slater says that this is his whole point. Instead of being able to stand by his actions, Baron Corbin tries to bully people into silence… but Heath won’t let that happen. Baron is bigger, he’s tougher and stronger, but Heath Slater will not be silenced. He might be put down 100 times, but he will get up again and again and again. Baron Corbin may have got used to being able to do what he wants, when he wants… but he has never met
anybody
quite like Heath Slater!

Introducing footage from earlier today, we see the catering area, filled with some of the fringe members of the Smackdown Live roster. At the front of the dining hall, we see that Bo Dallas, flanked by Apollo Crews & Mark Henry, is using a pan and a spoon to attempt to get people’s attention.

http://i.imgur.com/lZgmxaN.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/6UpcF6f.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/lZu9XKo.png

While it is clear that most of the Superstars are taking no notice, Bo Dallas nonetheless begins, saying “we are here today to talk about the ‘Power of Self-Belief’. Apollo, Mark and myself stand here today as proof
positive
that if you put your mind to it, you too can be a Champion!” Continuing in an inspirational speaker/life coach type spiel, Bo Dallas turns to his enforcers, growing ever more frustrated. When a discarded food wrapper is thrown at Bo, hitting him in the face, Mark Henry turns to Apollo Crews, appearing ready to get physical on those two are not paying attention. However, as they go to leave, they are stopped in their tracks. The confident Bo Dallas’ jaw drops, as he is approached by the returning Summer Rae.

http://i.imgur.com/42BUJzt.png

Bo Dallas doesn’t know what to say, and when he tries to speak, Summer simply pushes his jaw closed and puts her finger on his lips. As a smile spreads across Bo’s face, he is almost orgasmic when Summer Rae leans into his ear and utters two simple words. “I Bo-Lieve”.

<hr>Back live, we send over to the interview area, where Tye Dillinger is stood by. Following The Ascension decision to reject Tye’s challenge last week, the subsequent attack of Dillinger (which is replayed to Dillinger on the TV screen) prompted Shane McMahon to make the match for tonight.

http://i.imgur.com/wm3cYDb.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/uTbzYsM.png

Tye Dillinger says that he wants to make one thing clear tonight, he “asked for this”. Shane McMahon made the match, but the decision to face The Ascension in a handicap match - for the second time - is Tye’s. He understands the risks, he knows what can happen… in fact, what probably
will
happen, but he doesn’t care. The Ascension may be a “Gruesome 2”, but Tye Dillinger is a “Perfect 10”!

http://i.imgur.com/ikWiyQx.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/P4wj7mG.png

Benjamin Jackson vs. Luke Harper

Following a creepy and eerie video package, introducing us to the “World of Luke Harper”, where Luke is seen interacting with the camera like a neanderthal, we are invited to join him down “Harper’s Way”. This leads into the entrance of Harper, who makes relatively quick work of his local talent opposition. Extending the match longer than it needed to be, Luke Harper was once again seen to enjoy “picking the bones” of his opponent. When Harper was finally finished, he lifted Benjamin to his feet and hit him with a Discus Lariat. On commentary, JBL declared “
that
is Harper’s Way!”

 

Winner:
Luke Harper (via pinfall in 3:16)

 

As his hand was raised in the middle of the ring, Luke Harper became transfixed on his opponent. Taking in nothing around him, Luke Harper wouldn’t take his eyes of his latest victim. Eventually, a smirk grew across the face of Luke Harper, and the big man pulled on his beard, delighted with his night’s work.

Heading over to the Locker Room, we see Rhyno and Heath Slater. Having showered after their match, Rhyno tells Heath Slater they need to talk.

http://i.imgur.com/3QWGzza.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/lOC1Kjz.png

Advising against picking a fight with Baron Corbin, Rhyno tells Heath Slater that he knows Corbin better than anybody. Saying that Corbin is a “dangerous man”, Rhyno suggests that this isn't a hill Heath Slater should choose to die on. He understands how Slater feels, but it is a bad idea. Telling Rhyno that he means no disrespect when he says this, Heath Slater tells his partner that isn’t how he was brought up. He wants to be an example to his children, and if he doesn’t stand up for his beliefs, he wouldn’t be able to look them in the eyes. He respects that Rhyno is a veteran, and it may not be the smartest option, but he simply has to stand up to Baron Corbin!

<hr>Back to ringside, the commentators talk about Seth Rollins’ actions last week, introducing footage of him - in the Locker Room - snooping through American Alpha’s luggage. When he was caught, Rollins replied by telling Gable & Jordan that if they have nothing to hide, then there is no problem. Growing paranoid as the investigation into who attacked Shinsuke Nakamura continues, Rollins is making enemies left, right and center. Sending over to the interview area, we see that American Alpha are stood by.

http://i.imgur.com/Uao2wae.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/1Igye3C.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/uTbzYsM.png

Talking about last week’s incident, Jason Jordan says that Seth Rollins barked up the wrong tree, and he won’t lie - he wanted his hands on Rollins. With that said, having requested this match, he wants tonight to be the end of it. Seth Rollins knows that they had nothing to do with the attack of Shinsuke Nakamura, and after tonight they just want to draw a line under it. Chad Gable is more fired up, telling Seth Rollins that they accept he made a mistake, but says he’d better not do it again. Gable says that Jordan is going to teach him a lesson tonight, and if he continues this investigation, then he needs rethink his strategy.

http://i.imgur.com/IeJZzh4.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/WY2irym.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/HPE3KOu.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/Xw2rFZt.png

Better Together vs. Mickie James & Sasha Banks

Having faced off last month, where Emma & Natalya first discovered they were “Better Together”, this match gave Mickie James and Sasha Banks a chance at revenge over the women who have come to dominate the division. The added dynamic of this match of course, included the fact that all four women are in the first ever female Money In The Bank Ladder match. Despite the every woman for herself nature of the contest, Emma & Natalya remained on the same page. Drawing upon a confusion between Mickie and Sasha, Emma was able to roll Mickie up, scoring a vital win for her team.

 

Winners:
Better Together (via pinfall in 7:40)

 

Appearing closer that ever, Emma and Natalya took delight as they watched Mickie and Sasha bicker in the ring. Two proud competitors, it is clear that the pair struggle to accept another defeat. JBL suggests that the division between Banks and James will play right into the hands of their rivals.

Returning to the second hour of Smackdown Live, we see that the ring has been prepared for Miz TV. Making their way down to the ring together, the “joint hosts” of the show, Miz & Maryse are ready for the latest edition of the “Most Must See Talk Show In WWE History”.

http://i.imgur.com/FKWyDy9.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/3feYwGo.png

Taking the moments before he introduces his guests to talk about Randy Orton, The Miz claims that even in defeat last week, he proved he belongs at the top of the WWE. While Randy may have had his hand raised, it is clear to everybody that The Miz came out looking like a winner. So while Randy Orton takes some time out to readjust his face, The Miz believes he has done enough to be named the first entrant in the male Money In the Bank Ladder match… but he trusts Shane will get to that later. Reluctantly changing the subject back to his guest, The Miz shows very little respect for The New Day, playing down their achievements during his introduction of the record-breaking Tag Team Champions.

http://i.imgur.com/DCWrt38.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/zRpIwt8.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/bcdoI3O.png

Ignoring this, The New Day make their way to the ring, and hijack Miz TV. Growing frustrated, Miz tries to restore order, but fails miserably. Throwing a tantrum in the ring, Miz threatens to cancel the show, drawing more ribbing from The New Day. Then, his wife tries to control the irreverent trio, but finds herself the subject of their jokes. It eventually takes the emergence of Positive Enforcement for The New Day to regain focus.

http://i.imgur.com/lZgmxaN.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/6UpcF6f.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/lZu9XKo.png

Addressing The New Day, Bo Dallas says that this is typical of them. They refuse to take anything seriously, and that’s why they will never amount to anything. He claims that they are professional saboteurs and they are ruining Smackdown Live. In response, Xavier Woods asks the audience if they feel that The New Day are ruining Smackdown... adding that if “taking this seriously” means that they come out looking like Positive Enforcement, then it isn’t for them. As things get heated, The Miz lightens up, stirring the pot. Eventually, The Miz suggests a Six Man Tag Team match!

 

While both sides appear to agree, Mark Henry puts a stop to the idea, reminding those in the ring that he is no longer a member of the active roster. Turning in unison, The New Day look to The Miz - who threatened to “put them back in their place” earlier in the night. As we go into the commercial break, we see that The Miz is firmly against the idea...

http://i.imgur.com/DCWrt38.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/zRpIwt8.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/bcdoI3O.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/FKWyDy9.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/lZgmxaN.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/6UpcF6f.png

The New Day vs. The Miz & Positive Enforcement

Coming back, we are informed that - during the break - Shane McMahon came out and made the match official. Adding The Miz to Positive Enforcement’s team, the makeshift trio started well, using their shared dislike of The New Day as reason enough to stay on the same page. This worked for a while, but very few trios can work together as cohesively as The New Day. What followed was a back and forth clash, but the match ended with Bo Dallas eating a “Midnight Hour”. This allowed Kofi Kingston to cover Bo Dallas, picking up an important win and pinning one half of the Smackdown Tag Team Champions!

 

Winners:
The New Day (via pinfall in 9:38)

 

Collecting themselves in the ring, The New Day celebrated. Their first match together since before WrestleMania, the commentators say that The New Day are back - and the Tag Team division is on notice!

Heading to the interview area, we see Shinsuke Nakamura stood by with Andrea D'Marco.

http://i.imgur.com/0I6l7Pg.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/uTbzYsM.png

Shinsuke Nakamura reiterates his desire to put the attack behind him, stating that his focus is now on entering the Money In The Bank Ladder match. As he continues, Shinsuke Nakamura is “confronted” by his partner Seth Rollins.

http://i.imgur.com/97cuyWV.png

Telling Shinsuke Nakamura that he needs to “toughen up” if he is going to make it in the WWE, Rollins says that Nakamura can’t just let this slide. If he does, people will think that they can just get away with anything and walk all over him. Seth Rollins says that he’s starting to wonder if Shinsuke Nakamura was even attacked at all. Riling Nakamura, Rollins quickly backtracks. He says that he didn’t mean that, but he needs a response from Nakamura. He can’t do this alone, and they deserve justice, both of them were screwed at Backlash! Offended by Seth Rollins’ suggestion, Shinsuke tells Rollins to “let it go”, before walking away from “The Kingslayer”.

<hr>Returning to ringside, we are told that up next, Tye Dillinger will go up against The Ascension. However, as Tye makes his entrance, he is attacked from behind by Konnor & Victor.

http://i.imgur.com/wm3cYDb.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/105dctJ.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/TLZtyQW.png

Quickly and brutally laying into their opponent, The Ascension ensure that the match can’t get underway. Instead, they take Dillinger out on the ramp, finishing with a brutal Fall of Man on the ramp.

<hr>Coming back from a commercial break, we are told that the Dillinger match will not take place, due to injuries sustained during the attack. Instead, we hear the entrance music of Dean Ambrose, as the “Lunatic Fringe” makes his way to the ring.

http://i.imgur.com/k7y9YYv.png

Playing to the crowd for a few minutes, Dean Ambrose eventually gets down to business. Talking about the upcoming Money In The Bank ladder match, Ambrose recalls the time he retrieved the briefcase and makes light of the fact that he got to cash it in on that “scumbag” Seth Rollins. Ambrose doesn’t care if Rollins has changed his ways, it won’t change just how sweet that moment was.

 

But as always, Dean Ambrose has been hustling, he’s been feeding on scraps… and he eventually struck gold!. Because earlier today, he got the scoop while speaking to Shane McMahon. Dean Ambrose then officially announces himself as the first confirmed entrant in the male Money In The Bank Ladder match. Talking about his desire to win the briefcase for a second time, Dean Ambrose is cut off as the lights dim, and Bray Wyatt appears on the big screen.

http://i.imgur.com/jpCTzVR.png

Making contact with the WWE Universe for the first time since the “House of Horrors”, Bray Wyatt speaks cryptically about where he has been, but is much clearer when talking about his future. Telling Dean that wherever he goes, Bray isn’t far behind, the “Eater of Worlds” also confirms that he will take part in the Money In The Bank Ladder match. With a flicker of the lights, Bray Wyatt has gone. However, behind Dean Ambrose stands Erick Rowan...

http://i.imgur.com/FdlDs4a.png

Grabbing Ambrose from behind, Erick Rowan drives Bray’s MITB opponent into the mat with a vicious Full Nelson Slam!

<hr>Footage is shown from last week’s “Talking Smack”. Following a heated confrontation, Naomi confirmed her rematch for Money In The Bank! Next Sunday, Alexa Bliss will defend the Smackdown Womens Championship against Naomi!

http://i.imgur.com/1Igye3C.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/97cuyWV.png

Jason Jordan vs. Seth Rollins

While this match was designed to put over the paranoia of Seth Rollins, it also served as a showcase of Jason Jordan. Sent out with the intention to put on the best match they could, the two men displayed their impressive athletic acumen, and it was noted how well Jordan hung with the former WWE Champion. Supported at ringside by Chad Gable, Jordan even came close at times, but eventually Seth Rollins showed why he is one of the WWE’s most prized assets.

 

Escaping from an attempted submission from Jason Jordan, Seth Rollins came back into the match, and proved too much for Jason Jordan. Interestingly, while the result became a fairly routine victory, the manner of the win was contentious. Having hit Jordan with a Kingslayer (Wrist Lock to Jumping Knee Strike), it was evident that Seth Rollins could have picked up the victory. Instead however, Rollins lifted Jordan back to his feet, hitting him with an unnecessary second Kingslayer, before making the cover.

 

Winner:
Seth Rollins (via pinfall in 11:49)

 

Despite the clean and fair nature of the victory, the manner of Seth Rollins clearly annoyed Chad Gable. Entering the ring to question the justification of the second Knee Strike, Gable confronts Rollins.

http://i.imgur.com/Uao2wae.png

Engaging in an argument with Jordan’s partner, Rollins clearly doesn’t trust Gable. Telling him he will do the same to him if he doesn’t back down, the pair are only stopped from coming to blows when Shinsuke Nakamura emerges.

http://i.imgur.com/0I6l7Pg.png

Insisting that American Alpha had nothing to do with it, Shinsuke Nakamura tells Seth Rollins to calm down. With Chad Gable now checking on Jason Jordan, the focus is solely on the disagreement between Seth and Shinsuke. Telling Shinsuke that he’s trying to help him, Rollins will not be calmed down by the reasonable Nakamura. Having finally had enough, Seth Rollins tells Shinsuke Nakamura to “forget it… we’re done!” As Rollins goes to leave the ring, Shinsuke Nakamura grabs him by the arm. The two face-off, with the commentators playing up the potential drama of a coming together of Rollins and Nakamura. However, before they can come to blows, Shane McMahon comes to the top of the ramp.

http://i.imgur.com/otOJ5y5.png

Demanding the pair step down, Shane McMahon says that this isn’t the time or place. But there will be a time and a place, as he confirms that
both
Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura will compete in the Money In The Bank Ladder match in 12 days time!

Doing a number on Roman Reigns, The Revival took control of the match.

Trying to take Roman Reigns out of the match, Lana’s distraction allowed Rusev to pull “The Big Dog” out of the ring, as he set up for a Superman Punch to Scott Dawson. Throwing Reigns into the barricade, Rusev hit two Machka Kicks to Reigns, attempting to help The Revival to a countout victory.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Returning to the ring at eight, Roman Reigns soon discovered that Mojo Rawley was no longer on the apron, having made a failed attempt to fight Rusev off. Fighting back against both members of The Revival, an exhausted and battered Roman Reigns did remarkably well, but was clearly running on empty after the brutal Machka Kicks. Bringing the revived Mojo back into the match, Roman Reigns had no choice but to lay on the apron, and he was even checked on by the medical personnel, who witnessed Rusev’s cowardly assault. </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Unfortunately, while this was going on, Mojo Rawley became isolated, and following some impressive double team work, he was defeated by a Shatter Machine!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winners:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> The Revival (via pinfall in 8:47 )</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Celebrating their victory, The Revival were delighted to get what they felt they deserved, a shot at the Raw Tag Team Championships.

Roman Reigns tells Kurt Angle that he “isn’t going to wait for anything”, demanding that he gets another chance to earn his place. Roman Reigns then suggests that Angle makes a match tonight - Roman Reigns vs. Rusev. If he can beat the man already confirmed for that match, then he gets put in the match. Kurt Angle says that as much as he wants to see that match, he can’t make it for a place in the Fatal 4 Way. He’s promised a number of other guys a chance to prove themselves, and he can’t screw them over to appease Reigns. Seeing he isn’t getting anywhere, Reigns storms off, telling Kurt that he’s make a “huge mistake”.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Back live, we see Gulak & Nese stood in the ring.

Throughout the segment, Big Show is given a free reign to talk about the future of his career, letting the WWE Universe know that - while he doesn’t know how long he has left in the tank - he is sure as hell going to make the most of it! Shelton Benjamin then pays tribute to Big Show, saying that while he went away for 7 years, he came back and Big Show was still running things. Whether in the ring, or with the boys in the locker room, everybody respects Big Show. In fact, the Big Show that Shelton Benjamin has witness in these last couple of months, is arguably the most impressive he’s ever been. As Benjamin completes his tribute to Show, the music of Enzo & Cass begins to play.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/BwVQoFQ.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/zKmxnVj.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Initially a little tense, Enzo & Cass’ introductory promo leads them to the ring. Big Cass then goes face to face with Big Show, the pair engaged in a stare down. Cass eventually cracks a smile, holding his hand out to his fellow 7ft’er. Enzo Amore says that while Big Show might be “apple pie”, Enzo & Cass are more “pizza pie”. And while they come into contact with a whole lot more pigeons that they do bald eagles, one thing he is knows is that all four guys in this ring, are “real American badasses”. As Enzo continues, saying that Big Show will do that Championship proud, the “Great American Bash” is interrupted by the emergence of Kevin Owens.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/4Ntosoy.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Kevin Owens enters the ring, telling the four men that he is “so sick and tired” of “you Americans”. He says that just because the United States isn’t used to winning anything anymore, it doesn’t mean they have to throw a huge party every time they do. Especially not for the “World’s Largest Underachiever”. Big Show is clearly irked by this, but Shelton is able to stop him from starting anything. This changes however, when Kevin Owens pulls down the decorations and tips over the table in the ring. Feeling disrespected, the four men surround Kevin Owens, who begins to back away. Soon however, we see that the whole thing was a carefully planned situation, as Jinder Mahal and The Shining Stars attack the four men from behind.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/wdE4KnF.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/LRXUgIC.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/XyGfavS.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Going into the commercial break, Kevin Owens and co. stand over the four men, who had just been celebrating a “Great American Bash”.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/pW8btgp.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/BwVQoFQ.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/zKmxnVj.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/FxQ42Q0.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/4Ntosoy.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/LRXUgIC.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wdE4KnF.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/XyGfavS.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Big Show, Enzo & Cass and Shelton Benjamin vs. Kevin Owens, Jinder Mahal & The Shining Stars</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Returning from the commercial break, we see that a match has been made between the 8 men involved in the previous segment. With a feel closer to that of a live event than a Raw, this match was simply used to put over the “Pro-US” Superstars, with Kevin Owens growing frustrated at his partners. Eventually, Owens “washed his hands” of his team, leaving to watch the rest of the match from the bottom of the ramp. From here, Big Show’s team took control, with Big Show hitting the KO Punch to Jinder for the win.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winners:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Big Show, Enzo & Cass and Shelton Benjamin (via pinfall in 7:36)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Following the match, Kevin Owens returned to the ring, chastising his partners for a poor performance. Quickly, The Shining Stars roll out of the ring, making it clear that they won’t take that kind of thing from Kevin Owens. As Jinder Mahal comes round, Kevin Owens gives him the brunt of his fury. Refusing to back down, Jinder Mahal begins to give it back to Owens. His demeanor changes however, as we see that all four members of Big Show’s team have regrouped behind Owens. Holding his hands up, Jinder leaves, with Kevin Owens feeling smug and yelling “walk away… you loser!”</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> At this point, Kevin Owens turns around, straight into a Superkick from Shelton Benjamin. Sending him into the ropes, Owens bounces back - straight into a Chokeslam from Big Show. With Owens down in the ring, Enzo & Cass punctuated the point, with Enzo going to the top rope for the Bada Boom Shakalaka. The four men then stood tall in the ring, celebrating a resounding victory!</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Heading to Kurt Angle’s office, we see the Raw General Manager has been joined by his Tag Team Champions, The Hardy Boyz.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/J8t3rOC.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/BvfEi2q.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/csOrt56.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> The three iconic figures of the WWE discuss The Revival, with all of them agreeing that their performance tonight was very impressive.

Making his intentions clear, Braun tells Kurt “I want in!” When Angle asks what he means, Braun says “Fatal 4 Way! I. Want. In!” Before Kurt can respond, Jeff Hardy does, telling Braun that they were having a conversation in here. Strowman looks down on Jeff - who refuses to back down. Eventually, Kurt and Matt have to come between the two, who looked close to coming to blows. Looking for a solution, Kurt Angle tells Braun Strowman that since Reigns won’t be in that match, he will get his opportunity tonight, just like AJ Styles and Finn Balor. All Braun Strowman has to do is win his match… against Jeff Hardy! </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/eSo2kJ2.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/mSww4qV.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Dana Brooke vs. Nia Jax</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Presented as two of the rising stars of the Womens Division, this match is used to promote a Fatal 4 Way for the Raw Womens Championship at the next Raw Network Special/Pay-Per-View.

Going back and forth, in a match fairly similar to the one last month, it was clear that the experience of that match had taught the competitors a lot about each other. As a result, neither man could seize control for an extended period of the contest, as their opponent had them well scouted. Two of the WWE’s most gifted athletes, the two competitors went all out to prove their respective points. With slightly more to gain from the match, Finn Balor was much more focussed, and looked to capitalise on Dolph Ziggler’s showboating. One such example of this arrogance proved costly for Dolph Ziggler, and allowed Finn Balor to take control.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> From here, it seemed a matter of time until Balor picked up the win, and he eventually scored an extremely important victory.

With no choice but to take the fight to Braun, Jeff Hardy throws everything he has at the “Monster Amongst Men” from the sound of the opening bell. Overaweing Strowman, this method serves Jeff Hardy well as the match gets underway. Sending Strowman to the outside, albeit on his feet, Jeff Hardy looks to slingshot himself on top of Strowman. This was his first mistake.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> As is the case with Jeff Hardy’s high-risk offence, when it goes wrong, it can go really wrong. For the next few moments, Hardy was thrown into Steel Steps, the barricades and even had his head smashed off the LED ringpost. Returning to the ring, Braun began toying with Jeff Hardy, who had asked his brother Matt to stay in the back for this match. Clearly enjoying himself, Strowman’s mood changed when he tried to put Jeff down for the 3 count. Showing resilience which few in the WWE can match, Jeff Hardy refused to stay down, and even mounted a comeback on the huge Strowman. Returning to the outside, Jeff was much more successful this time, and set up the Steel Steps for a one-man Poetry in Motion. It was this move which spelled the end for Hardy, as he was caught mid flight by Braun Strowman. Showing great strength, the “Monster Amongst Men” was able to take control of Jeff - as he had Roman Reigns - putting him on his shoulder.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Hitting Hardy with a Running Powerslam, onto the Steel Steps which he had looked to use himself, Braun Strowman returned to the ring, as the referee completed his count.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winner:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Braun Strowman (via countout in 9:47)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Standing defiantly in the ring, Braun Strowman stands tall, having joined Finn Balor and Rusev in the Fatal 4 Way.

Whatever Roman Reigns is going through, Rawley says that “they” hope he comes out the other side. Charly Caruso is clearly taken back by the strange behaviour of Rawley, who increasingly appears to believe he has invoked the spirit of Andre The Giant.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/LuT1DWC.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/XqnlS4u.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Kalisto vs. The Brian Kendrick</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Having faced each other twice before, this match was presented as a tiebreaker for the 205 Live standouts.

Highlighting the fact that Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Rusev are already confirmed for the Number One Contendership match at Fatal 4 Way, we are told that only one spot remains. If AJ Styles wins this match, he will become one of four men with a chance to face Brock Lesnar in the Main Event of Summerslam. If AJ Styles loses, the door reopens for Roman Reigns to take the final spot. With Karl Anderson’s presence at ringside already somewhat splitting AJ Styles attention, this is compounded a few minutes into the match, when Roman Reigns makes his way to the top of the ramp.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/BNgO464.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> While not getting involved, the presence of Reigns is obviously off putting for AJ Styles, and this allows Luke Gallows a level of control that he wouldn’t normally have had. Split between defending his right to observe and calling him a poor sportsman, the commentators agree that this is a psychological move from Reigns, which looks close to coming off. This was particularly true after a Big Boot from Gallows, which almost took Styles’ head off. Despite only managing a two, Luke Gallows began growing in confidence, talking to his buddy as he beat him down. Gallows reminded AJ Styles that he still had a chance to make the right call, as he set up for a Chokeslam. As Gallows lifted AJ, Styles was able to reverse the move into a pinfall.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Managing a two, this allowed AJ Styles a moment of recovery, and marked the beginning of his comeback in the match. From here, he was able to fight against his much larger opponent, knocking him off his feet with a Pele Kick. Gathering momentum, AJ Styles went to the outside, warey of Gallows’ partner. Karl Anderson stuck to his word, and didn’t attempt any contact, as AJ Styles went for the Phenomenal Forearm. However, as Styles came from the top, he was caught by Gallows, who again attempted a Chokeslam. Styles once again escaped, and looked for an audacious Styles Clash. Overpowered, Styles was dumped onto the apron by Gallows, but managed to hit him with a Jumping Kick as he came back.

As his arm was raised in the ring, he held onto his ribs. Turning away, AJ Styles’ attention was once again captured by Roman Reigns at the top of the ramp. Expressionless, Roman Reigns’ stern demeanor results in a prolonged staredown between the two. Growing agitated, having missed out on another shot at Summerslam (once again through no fault on his own), Roman Reigns begins pacing back and forth on the ramp. Looking ready for action, it appears that Roman Reigns is trying to stop himself from doing something he will later regret. When he eventually stands still again, he loosens up his wrist, indicating he may be thinking of approaching the ring. While AJ Styles is ready for this, it soon becomes unnecessary, as the man who Roman Reigns has been on the hunt for all night, jumps him from behind.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/ED0dzNJ.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/0P95pPb.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Dropping Roman Reigns with an ambush from behind, Rusev lays his boots into the back of Roman.

He admits that initially he had reservations about teaming with Nakamura, but he eventually came round to the idea of making history with “The King of Strong Style”. After that was taken away from him, Seth was angry. As he has before, Rollins became obsessed in the hunt for “justice”, and in his single mindedness, he lost sight. Shinsuke showed a willingness to forgive and move on, and Seth must do the same.

Emphatically stating how bad he considers this idea to be, Rhyno warns Slater to think about it. Heath Slater says he has thought about it, every waking moment of this past week has been replaying the disrespect Corbin showed both of their families. Rhyno might be willing to let that slide, but Heath Slater can’t! Looking Rhyno in the eyes, Slater doesn’t break eye contact as he tells his partner, “tonight...

Stemming from a disrespectful attack of both Slater & Rhyno, the issue escalated when Corbin made comments about the families of the former Smackdown Tag Team Champions.

Trash-talk is a part of this business, and he knows that better than anybody. People can say whatever they want about Slater, that’s not his issue… bringing his family in this changes everything. Slater says that the viewers of Smackdown Live know his story, the whole reason that he is fighting day in and day out, is to provide for his family. Heath Slater says that he spends most of his week on the road, and sometimes the only time his children see their father is through a television screen. Heath can’t change that, but what he can do is make sure that they will be proud of him. That’s why he couldn’t back down, that’s why he could not move on. Whether it’s at home, or when he’s competing in the ring, he still has to set an example for them. If he wants them to grow into proud American citizens, it is his responsibility to instill those values into them.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Heath Slater says that </span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>nobody</em></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> disrespects him as a father, as a husband, or as a man!

Slater nods his head, and Corbin enters the ring. Refusing to back down, Slater is clearly nervous, but stands up to Corbin. Corbin pushes Slater back, and Heath goes to throw a punch. Corbin blocks it, and drops Heath with a single blow. When Slater comes back at him, Corbin throws Heath Slater out of the ring.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> As Corbin tells Slater that he doesn’t deserve to share the ring with him, Slater slides back in. Corbin is straight onto him, hitting him with knees, elbows and various other strike. Once again throwing Slater to the outside, Corbin this time follows Heath Slater and slaps him in the face. Telling Slater “you don’t belong in my ring!”, Baron Corbin throws Heath Slater into the front row, with the former Tag Team Champion landing on a group of fans. Hitting Slater once more, Baron Corbin tells Heath Slater that he doesn’t belong in the ring… he belongs in the crowd. Corbin then picks up his Intercontinental Championship, grabs Slater’s face and tell him to “know [his] place”.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Baron Corbin then begins to walk up the ramp, but is surprised when Heath Slater grabs his arm when he reaches half way. Defiantly refusing to stay down, Heath Slater manages to get a few shots in, before Corbin pushes him down. Corbin then continues up the ramp, only for Slater to jump on his back. Desperate to prove his point, Slater continues to brawl with Corbin, eventually looking to make head way. Enraging Baron Corbin, Heath Slater has no choice but to keep swinging. When Baron Corbin looks to bring Steel Steps into play, Slater manages to avoid them, diving to the outside on top of Corbin. While Corbin is down, Slater looks to set up the Steel Steps. Due to the chaotic nature of the brawl, Shane McMahon eventually makes his way to the top of the ramp.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/otOJ5y5.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Demanding that Heath stops, Shane manages to restore calm for a moment. Shane McMahon says that he finally sees how much this means to Heath Slater. He is a father too, and this Sunday is Father’s Day. Shane McMahon wouldn’t normally do this, but he sees that Slater is a special case. Shane commends Heath Slater on his passion and commitment to his family, and this Sunday - on Father’s Day - Slater will go one on one with Baron Corbin… for the WWE Intercontinental Championship!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> As Shane McMahon leaves up the ramp, Slater begins to celebrate.

Coming close on a number of occasions, the unlikely victory proved to be just out of reach for Big E, as his injuries caught up with him.

As a result, Summer Rae made an attempt to “seduce” Seth Rollins, only to be blown off by “The Kingslayer”. Offended, Summer tried to enter the ring, only to be stopped by Mark Henry. This distraction allowed Bo Dallas to low blow Rollins, but his team’s control was fleeting.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Eventually taking Apollo Crews out of the picture, Shinsuke Nakamura was able to set up for the Kinshasa.

Promoted as the two favourites to secure the briefcase, the commentators sign off, with Seth Rollins looking up to the Briefcase suspended from the ceiling. Shinsuke Nakamura’s eyes follow Seth’s, as both men stare at the prize, which could belong to them, this Sunday!</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote>

As expected, their numbers game helped them early on, but it eventually dissolved when the realisation sunk in that only one of them could unhook the briefcase. From here, the match really was every woman for herself. Another takeaway from this match was the uncertainty of the recently returned Summer Rae. Having spent a while on the sidelines, she was clearly suffering from ringrust.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> As a result of the aforementioned issues, Sasha Banks and Mickie James emerged as favourites early on, with their competitive rivalry providing the base of the majority of the close calls. However, when the finish came around, it was Better Together who took advantage of this. So engaged in toppling each other, Banks and James were pushed from the ladder, to the mat below. Emma and Natalya then raced each other to the top, and bizarrely began to argue with each other while up there. With a clear path, Natalya wasted time telling Emma to climb down and hold the ladder.

Tying into the outnumbered aspect of the match, this segues into a video package, recapping the events of Tye Dillinger’s rivalry with The Ascension. Defeated by the pair at Backlash, Tye Dillinger has continually tried to fight the odds, but recently admitted he couldn’t do this alone. On Tuesday, Tye Dillinger made a final challenge for Money in the Bank… and promised he wouldn’t be alone.

Starting well, Jose and Dillinger later look threatened, as The Ascension isolated Tye Dillinger. Coming close to victory on a number of occasions, Konnor & Viktor were frustrated by Tye Dillinger’s continued resilience, which has been a feature of their entire rivalry.

While Rhyno looked to move on, Heath Slater refused to let it lie. When Baron Corbin made comment about Slater being unable to see his children grow up if he didn’t back down, Heath became enraged, calling out the Intercontinental Champion. Following an impassioned promo, Heath Slater declared that if he didn’t stand up to Corbin, he couldn’t look his children eyes ever again. While this was followed by him taking a beating from Baron Corbin, Heath Slater continued to fight back and was eventually rewarded. Impressed by Slater’s passion, Shane McMahon decided to make this match, giving Heath Slater a shot at fulfilling a lifelong dream, as well as making his children proud on Father’s Day! Heading out of the video package, we see that Heath Slater is stood by with Renee Young.

Baron Corbin doesn’t have anybody, and he doesn’t care about anybody. He is the most selfish, cruel bully that Slater has ever come across, and because of how he has raised his kids, he can’t just back down. He appreciated Rhyno’s advice, which is why he has asked him to join him at ringside… but he has to stand up to Corbin.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Addressing his children - who are watching at home - Heath apologises that he can’t be there for them tonight, but promises that he’ll be back soon and that “Daddy’s bringing the Intercontinental Championships home!”</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/RIXi4SK.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em><strong>WWE Intercontinental Championship</strong></em></span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/1XvLLIT.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/3QWGzza.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Baron Corbin © vs. Heath Slater</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Heading into the match, it was clear that Baron Corbin had already dismissed the challenge of his opponent. As the contest got underway, it appeared that Corbin had made a huge mistake, as Slater started like a man possessed. Eventually, Baron Corbin slowed Heath down, and began to handily control the challenger. Taking Slater to the outside, Corbin once again looked to use the Steel Steps. Stopping him from doing so, Rhyno at ringside encouraged Corbin to “keep it in the ring”.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Despite crossed words with Rhyno, Corbin did eventually return to the ring, having sufficiently damaged Slater. Looking for a quick, straight-forward victory, Corbin went for the pin following a Deep 6. While Heath Slater kicked out, he was soon set up to be hit with an End of Days by the Champion. Fighting out of it, Slater elbowed Corbin to get free, before dropping him with a Superkick. Building momentum, Slater came at Corbin, despite the obvious damage sustained throughout. However, as Slater looked to take control, he was hit with a Big Boot that killed his momentum dead.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Scraping the proud father from the mat, Baron Corbin lifted Slater to his feet and hit him with an End of Days for the 1… 2… 3?</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> While the hand made contact with the canvas, the referee realized a split-second early that Heath Slater had placed his foot on the bottom rope. Furious, Corbin pulled Slater back to the center of the ring, pinning him for a 1… 2… Kickout! Refusing to stay down, Heath Slater looked to once again return to contention, with Rhyno looking to get the audience behind him. Although this inspired him to keep fighting, Slater looked out of his depth, as the Intercontinental Champion showed his dominance. Lifting Slater up for a Chokeslam Backbreaker, Corbin was shocked when Slater looked to roll him up. Scoring a 2, Slater infuriated Corbin, who ran at him. Heath Slater managed to roll out of the way, sending Baron Corbin crashing into the ringpost.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Using this small chink in Corbin’s armour, Heath Slater looked to come back into the match, and appeared on the brink of achieving the impossible. Having Corbin down with a brutal spinning Spinebuster, Slater waited for Corbin to return to his feet. Raising his hand with the horns gesture, Slater signalled that he was ready to finish the match, hitting his opponent with the Smash Hit DDT! Selling complete and utter shock, the commentators did everything to sell the most unlikely title change in recent WWE memory.

With Baron Corbin still out cold, the exhausted Slater opened his eyes, wondering why he had not yet heard the sound of the bell. Realizing that the referee was now on the outside, Heath Slater went over to the ropes, trying to make sense of what had just happened. As Heath Slater turned back around in the ring, he came face to face with Rhyno!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/lOC1Kjz.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Locking his eyes on Slater, Rhyno’s expression told Heath all he needed to know.

With Rhyno watching from the bottom of the ramp, breathing heavily with a snarl on his face, Corbin covered Slater - scoring the 1… 2… 3!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winner:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Baron Corbin (via pinfall in 11:54)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Putting his head down, Rhyno walked up the ramp following the match, having screwed the man who stood by his side for almost a year out of a Championship shot. Killing the dream that was just a hair’s breadth away, Rhyno left his partner in the ring, ending Slater’s Father’s Day in the worst way imaginable. Replaying the moment where Heath Slater had the match won, we return to the ring where Slater is beginning to come round. Completely baffled, Slater is unable to get his head around what had just happened. Holding his head in the hands, Heath remained in a heap in the ring, having not only lost a match, but also a friend and partner.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Reeling from the shocking actions of Rhyno, the commentators take a moment to reflect on what could possibly have motivated him to help - of all people - Baron Corbin retain his Championship. This leads into discussion of another Champion, Randy Orton, who was recently injured at the hands of The Miz.

Tonight, he will tear down the staircase to dreams, to fortune and riches and he will rebuild it in his image. When he gets his hands on that Briefcase, he will hold the ultimate power. Randy has avoid capture this whole time, but now he is a wounded animal.

This leads into a video package, highlighting the “crusade” of Bo Dallas against the recently reunited New Day. Showing Bo’s recruitment of Apollo Crews and Mark Henry, in order to deal with “The Parasites of Positivity”, we see the return of Kofi Kingston, who evened the odds in the rivalry. Having used Henry’s return to help them win the Smackdown Tag Team Championships in the first place, Bo will have to have something up his sleeve to overcome The New Day tonight. Coming out of the video package, The New Day make their way down to the ring, talking the chance to address the audience as they do.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/DCWrt38.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/zRpIwt8.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/bcdoI3O.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> After having fun with their usual antics (and given free reign to do so), The New Day get down to business. Xavier Woods says that since Bo Dallas resurfaced from whatever rock he’s been under, he has showed an obsession with The New Day and tonight he gets what he wants. Kofi adds that while they expected better from Apollo Crews and Mark Henry, they see nothing but jealousy from those two men. As for Bo, well, they don’t really need to worry about him. Big E talks about their decision to attack him on Tuesday, on the orders of somebody like Bo. They tried to take him out, but Big E is here tonight! Continuing to lay into Positive Enforcement - particularly making fun of Bo’s previous lack of success - the trio are cut off by the group, as Bo comes out to respond.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/lZgmxaN.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/6UpcF6f.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/lZu9XKo.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Declaring himself an “island of hope” in an “ocean of negativity”, Dallas claims that he isn’t obsessed with The New Day. What Bo Dallas is obsessed with is a better world, and a better future for those willing to follow his mantra. His methods are tried and tested, but still people doubt him. The New Day are aware of what he can do, they have felt the force of the “Bolievers”, but still they deny him. Bo Dallas deserves better than that, and so do the people who The New Day willingly mislead. Dallas doesn’t know why they spread lies and mistruths. Maybe it’s bitterness, or something much more sinister, but the WWE Universe must rise from their slumber. He accuses The New Day of deliberately trying to undermine a “revolution of the mind” and demands that Big E is removed from ringside.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Stepping forward, Big E says that Bo is starting to sound like a crazy internet conspiracy theorist, and for that reason he knows there is zero chance of reasoning with him. Stepping into Mark Henry’s face, Big E says that he will happily head to the back… as long as Mark does too! As Mark stares down Big E, Bo Dallas whispers something into his ear. Mark Henry nods, and steps down, agreeing to leave ringside. For the time being at least, it appears that both sides are willing to contest this match as a far 2 on 2.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/A8qtT9V.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/A8qtT9V.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong><em>Smackdown Tag Team Championships</em></strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/lZgmxaN.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/6UpcF6f.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/zRpIwt8.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/bcdoI3O.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Positive Enforcement © vs. The New Day</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Contested fairly at the opening bell, it seems somewhat out of character for Bo Dallas to agree to the removal of Mark Henry from ringside. Perhaps pressured into it due to the response to him wanting Big E out of the picture, Positive Enforcement nonetheless started the match well. Using his strength and agility, Apollo Crews took control Xavier Woods early on. Unable to hold onto this, the match eventually began to settle into a more back and forth pace.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Coming back at Positive Enforcement, The New Day once again displayed their unmatched bond, proving the more cohesive duo throughout the rest of the match. As such, the pair looked to close in on victory, going for the UpUpDownDown. However, before they could finish the match off, Mark Henry came back out, making his way down to the ring.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/lZu9XKo.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Causing a distraction, Bo Dallas was able to crawl to his partner and escape from the jaws of defeat. Crews was able to take down his opponent, and Henry’s distraction of the referee allowed Bo some illegal digs on the now isolate Xavier Woods. Of course, the 3 on 2 situation didn’t last long, as Big E ran down to the ring to even the odds.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/DCWrt38.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Going face to face with Mark Henry, Big E clearly had revenge on his mind. However, before he could take him down, Big E was grabbed by Bo Dallas. Dallas tried to take Big E down, but instead ended up taking a Belly to Belly to the outside. Henry looked for revenge, but was taken down by a dropkick through the second and bottom rope from Xavier Woods. Holding onto the rope, Woods was able to return to the ring. With Bo Dallas and Mark Henry out of the equation, The New Day were able to isolated Apollo Crews, hitting the UpUpDownDown to secure the victory.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winners:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> The New Day (via pinfall in 12:58; </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>NEW</em></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Smackdown Tag Team Champions)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Joining Xavier and Kofi in the ring, Big E hands the pair the Smackdown Tag Team Championships.

As a result, very little of note happened in the match, between two women who we have seen compete over and over again. For this reason, the match never really seemed to get going, until Naomi’s comeback near the end. Taking the fight to the Smackdown Womens Champion, Naomi looked to hit a Rear View, but Bliss avoided it at all costs, rolling out of the ring. Later attempting the move for a second time, Naomi dropped the Champion, before locking her in the “Feel The Glow” submission hold. Looking certain to submit, Alexa Bliss scrambled to the ropes, pulling herself to the outside. As Naomi encouraged her to return to the ring, the Champion looked up to the ramp, and back to the ring.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Grabbing her Championship from ringside, Alexa Bliss knew that heading to the back would lead her straight into the hands of Miss Money in the Bank. Therefore, she decided to take another exit, through the crowd. While Naomi tried to follow Bliss, she was away before Naomi stood any chance. Returning to the ring, with no choice but to take the countout victory, Naomi won the match. Despite this,h her face showed that she didn’t feel like a winner, having been unable to capture the title in her “last chance” opportunity.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winner:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Naomi (via countout in 8:47; Alexa Bliss is </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>STILL</em></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Smackdown Womens Champion)</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Following a recap of American Alpha’s victory on the Kick-Off show, we send over to the interview area, where a scheduled Seth Rollins interview is set to take place.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/VnsTy9Z.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/97cuyWV.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> With his mind clearly elsewhere, Seth Rollins makes for a poor interview guest, ignoring the questions to address the attack of Shinsuke Nakamura.

Tonight, whether Shinsuke Nakamura is able to compete or not, Seth Rollins is competing for both of them.

Putting everything on the line, in the pursuit of the WWE’s “Golden Ticket”, only one man would escape with the spoils of war. Particularly following this high-risk, high-reward strategy were Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper and Seth Rollins, who looked from early to climb the Ladder. Of course, this often has unsavoury consequences, and the competitors grew fatigued very quickly. The other side of the coin were Bray Wyatt and The Miz, who realised it wasn’t strategically wise to climb the ladder early on, when competitors were lurking everywhere.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> This served both men well, and when the first realistic attempt at unhooking the Briefcase came, it was The Miz who stopped Bray from taking it down. However, as the two men battle on the Ladder, an uppercut from Wyatt rocked The Miz. Feeling as though he would have a clear path to the Championship, Wyatt was sent crashing into the top rope, as Luke Harper pushed the Ladder down. With Bray Wyatt rolling the outside, Luke Harper looked to set up a Ladder, but was met by Dean Ambrose.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> From here, Seth Rollins returned and the three men went back and forth. Eventually emerging as an early favourite, Luke Harper surprisingly managed to take out all other competitors in the match. Looking into control, Harper’s eyes became transfixed on Bray Wyatt, as soon as his former leader began to stir. Presented as an almost sixth sense like reaction from Luke Harper, the former Family member pointed a gun finger at Bray Wyatt, before looking for a suicide dive. Having grabbed a Ladder, Wyatt was able to protect himself at the last moment, brutally slamming it into the oncoming Harper. Bray Wyatt then crawled into the ring, looking to win the match. Unfortunately, his path wasn’t quite so clear, as Dean Ambrose stood on the Ladder he had brought into play. Beginning to brawl with Wyatt, Ambrose’s history with Bray was relayed, as the aggression both men displayed shone through.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Eventually, with Bray Wyatt looking in control, the determined Seth Rollins - looking to avenge his one time partner Shinsuke Nakamura - went after Bray, resulting in two former members of The Shield forming a temporary alliance. Taking Wyatt out of the picture, Dean Ambrose quickly realised what was going on and made his feelings towards Rollins clear. Pushing Rollins out of his way, Dean Ambrose took a dive to the outside, taking Bray Wyatt out. Returning to the ring, Ambrose put in on Seth to do the same, and he set up for a dive of his own onto The Miz on the outside. However, when Rollins hit the move, Ambrose climbed to the top rope, taking a Flying Elbow to Seth Rollins as he got back to his feet.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Continuing in this vein, the match continued to feature many dangerous moments, including a Skull Crushing Finale to Luke Harper onto a Ladder which was propped up by the Steel Steps. The Miz was later made victim himself, when Ambrose hit him with an Elbow Drop onto a Ladder which was set between the ring and the commentary table. When Bray Wyatt was also taken out, by a Frog Splash from Seth Rollins, who dove from the Ladder and put Wyatt through the announcer’s table, it appeared that all five men were out of it. At this point, Ambrose and Rollins once again emerged as standouts.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Battling it out for victory, it was clear that Dean Ambrose still harboured bitter feelings towards Rollins, who has done everything in his power to prove he is a changed man. As the two men brawled, they eventually set up separate Ladders and looked to climb to victory. Engaging in a “sudden death” brawl, the man who fell to the mat would undoubtedly leave a clear path for his adversary. As the brawl continued , the two men appeared evenly matched, until Dean Ambrose pulled a Sleeper hold out of the bag. With Seth Rollins seemingly fading, his limbs began to go limp. Holding on to the Ladder for dear life, it became clear that Rollins would eventually succumb. However, just moments before Ambrose looked set to push Rollins off the Ladder, it began to shake. Releasing Rollins, Ambrose looked down to see that The Miz had returned to the ring. With zero time to react, Ambrose could do nothing as his Ladder was pushed to the mat.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> With just one Ladder remaining, and an almost unconscious Seth Rollins on top, The Miz began to climb. Once he reached the top, he arrogantly shook Rollins “awake”, before shoving a hand in his face and pushing him down to the mat below. Completely limp, Rollins was out of contention. Now with “clear sailing”, The Miz composed himself and unhooked the Briefcase to become “Mr. Money in the Bank”!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winner:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> The Miz (in 28:49)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Looking just as surprised as everybody else, The Miz looks around him as he drops to the mat. Frantically looking at the mess that surrounds him, The Miz finds a clear path to escape the bodies and rubble in and around the ring. The Miz clutches onto the Money in the Bank Briefcase, holding it tight, as if his life depended on. Joined by his wife on the ramp, The Miz stumbles and staggers to the top of the stage. Put over as the culmination of a long, hard journey back to the top, this victory signals a landmark moment in the career of The Miz. Having been criticised and derided by the entire locker room, management and the WWE Universe, The Miz has proved he still has what it takes to compete at the very top. JBL says that every day for over a decade, The Miz has proved people wrong, and tonight he stands here as an almost surefire, future WWE Champion!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/IjwJFf8.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/3feYwGo.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Remaining on the stage, The Miz raises the briefcase high in the air. Coming to the end of the broadcast, the camera takes a shot over the shoulder of The Miz, casting light on the carnage that has been left behind in the ring. While every competitor in this match risked it all, only The Miz walks away with the prize, as 2017’s “Mr. Money in the Bank!”</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote>

Bemoaning the fact that he will be in action against Roman Reigns tonight, Rusev calls on Kurt Angle to cancel the match. Kurt refuses, adding that not only will Rusev have to compete in that match, he’d better get himself ready, because that match is next!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Recapping the events of last week, the opening segment is followed by a video package. The focus is almost entirely on the Fatal 4 Way qualifiers, where AJ Styles and Finn Balor added their names to the already confirmed Rusev. Following Roman Reigns’ slip up, we see his callous words to Mojo Rawley, who he told “we are not friends”. With a spot opened up by Reigns’ defeat, the final place was opened up and secured by Braun Strowman, who beat Jeff Hardy via countout. Tonight, as a result of Rusev’s part in Roman Reigns’ defeat last week, the two men will go one on one. Introducing the show, the commentators hype up that match, which will open the show!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Making his way down to the ring with his wife Lana, Rusev now has a smile on his face. Taking a microphone, Rusev tells Roman Reigns that he is ready to beat him. When Roman Reigns joins him in the ring, he is clearly suspicious of Rusev, but challenges him to put his spot on the line if he is so confident. Rolling his eyes, Rusev tells Roman Reigns to give it up, he won’t be the next Number One Contender… Rusev will! Turning to the referee, Rusev demands that he ring the bell, ready to face “The Big Dog”.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/BNgO464.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/ED0dzNJ.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Roman Reigns vs. Rusev</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Despite his pre-match posturing, as soon as the bell rang, Rusev left the ring. Claiming to be talking strategy with his wife, Rusev began to anger the audience, as well as Roman Reigns in the ring. Adding to this, when he eventually entered the ring, Rusev went for a test of strength. However, as Reigns indulged him, Rusev went low, kicking Roman Reigns between the legs. Against his better judgement, the referee had no choice but to call for the bell.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winner:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Roman Reigns (via disqualification in 1:31)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Standing over Roman Reigns, Rusev began yelling at his prone opponent in his native tongue.

He says that this is what the idiots in the audience want, that is what they all enjoyed last week, so why pretend otherwise. Kevin Owens wants a 4-on-1 handicap, against all four members of Big Show’s team from last week.

While things start out respectfully, Gallows & Anderson seem to annoy AJ Styles, saying that they were in “The Club” long before he was, but nonetheless they consider him “like a brother”. These little side comments build-up, and eventually AJ Styles asks them if they have problem. Getting worked up, AJ Styles gets in Gallows’ face, after he makes light of the fact AJ Styles always had a “stick in his ass” from the very first time they met him. Coming between Styles and Gallows, Finn Balor tries to calm AJ Styles down, but this only makes things worse. Karl Anderson tells Finn Balor that if he doesn’t think he needs the help of Gallows & Anderson, then they’re damn sure they don’t need the help of Balor. If AJ Styles wants to do this, then it’s his mistake to make.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Finn Balor fires back, saying that without what he started elsewhere, Anderson & Gallows might not be here. So they’d best believe they need him. Anderson & Gallows see this as a step too far, and tell Finn Balor if that’s how he feels, they may just have to show him who the “boss” really was. Anderson & Gallows say that they made both of these guys in Japan… but they can break them in the WWE. By now, tensions are raised and Balor says this isn’t about the past, it’s about the here and now. Gallows & Anderson need to accept that “The Club” is over, and Finn Balor is focussed on the WWE Universal Championship! All four men go face to face, and it takes Kurt Angle’s presence at the top of the ramp to diffuse it.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/KtaQi5R.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Kurt Angle says he knows what these guys are like, and he’s sure their bond is stronger than this.

Following him, Roman Reigns rolled Rusev back in the ring, where a distraction from Lana almost caused Reigns himself to be counted out. However, when Reigns returned to the ring, Rusev rolled back out, looking for a rest. As the referee’s count began, Reigns allowed Rusev to recover, hoping that he would return to the ring when he felt ready.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Unfortunately, as the referee’s count reached a higher number, Rusev began to back up the ramp.

Instead of the usual opening video package, Smackdown Live opens with a shot of the ring. On a stand, we see the Money in the Bank briefcase.

http://i.imgur.com/IxJDQPG.png

“Please welcome, your 2017 Mr. Money in the Bank...”

 

This introduction from the ring announcer leads directly into the music of The Miz, who is dressed in a suit. As ever, The Miz is joined by his wife Maryse.

http://i.imgur.com/IjwJFf8.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/3feYwGo.png

Milking the walk down the entranceway, while pointing at the Briefcase in the ring and then back to himself, The Miz eventually picks up a microphone and the Briefcase as he enters the ring. Disrespectfully calling somebody into the ring to remove the stand, The Miz shows nothing but contempt for the ringside assistant.

 

Holding his hand in the air, The Miz demands silence from the audience before he addresses them. When he begins, The Miz looks to rub his achievements in the face of the WWE Universe, as well as his peers and management. The Miz says that he wants to thank everybody who ever sent him a tweet, and everybody who ever yelled in his face in the street, telling him that that he “sucks”. He also wants to thank all the boys in the back, from day one when they told him he couldn’t hang, until now, where every single one of them use him for a cheap laugh. He sees the interviews and the social media posts, he isn’t stupid. He knows what management think of him, and what the WWE Universe think of him. To say he doesn’t care would be a lie. The Miz does care, he cares about what people think of him because he gets such a kick out of proving each and every one of them wrong!

 

They said that he wouldn’t make it in the WWE, they said he was a flash in the pan. Then they said he’d never be a Champion… he’d never be a WWE Champion… he’d never Main Event WrestleMania. Every time they said something like that, The Miz would add it to his bucket list. And as he checked every single one of those things off, people continued to move the goalposts. The Miz did everything everybody said he couldn’t do… but then he fell off, right?
Wrong!
Because over the last year, The Miz has proved that he is the single most valuable asset in the WWE, and soon he will have the Championship to prove it. He took Randy Orton out of action, he beat Big E last week and on Sunday he… before The Miz can complete that thought, Seth Rollins’ music begins to play, and the furious “King Slayer” makes his way down to the ring.

http://i.imgur.com/97cuyWV.png

Getting in The Miz’s face, Seth Rollins asks what
did
you do Sunday? You took out Randy Orton two weeks ago, but what did The Miz do this Sunday? The Miz says that he went through every other contender and he came out as Mr. Money in the Bank. Holding the Briefcase in the air, The Miz is once again cut off. Seth Rollins says that’s BS… this Sunday, just like at Backlash, The Miz attacked Shinsuke Nakamura with a Baseball Bat!

 

Shocked by the accusation, The Miz tells Seth Rollins he had nothing to do with the assault, but had Shinsuke Nakamura been involved in the match, nothing would have changed. Providing an alibi, Maryse says that her husband was with her all night, and he had nothing to do with what happened to Nakamura, Rollins needs to look elsewhere. Seth Rollins says that The Miz didn’t have to be there, because he has been working in tandem with Positive Enforcement. Last week, Henry & Crews attacked Big E, but he has even more evidence. Sounding somewhat paranoid, Seth Rollins says that at Backlash, Positive Enforcement benefitted from taking Nakamura out, by winning the Tag Team Championships, and on Sunday it was The Miz. The attack on Big E last week ties it all together, proving that The Miz and Positive Enforcement - who both benefitted on that occasion - were working together.

 

The Miz says that Seth Rollins’ logic is flawed, and The Miz can answer any questions he has. Once again, there is somebody trying to put a black mark on him overcoming everything that’s put in his way, but it won’t work. Everybody he has ever beaten has managed to find some excuse, but the fact is The Miz is just better than them. He doesn’t need a sneak attack, because he knows how to win better than anybody in the WWE. The Miz says that if Shinsuke Nakamura wants to know who attacked him, he needs to look elsewhere! Going face to face, The Miz and Seth Rollins look close to coming to blows. At this point, Shane McMahon comes out.

http://i.imgur.com/otOJ5y5.png

Telling the two men to step down, he says that right now he is simply angry, but eventually he will open the investigation into who attacked Shinsuke Nakamura. Seth Rollins isn’t happy with this, saying that they need action… and they need it now! The Miz agrees, saying that he wants his name cleared immediately. He suggests that Shane McMahon brings the suspects out to the ring.

 

Shane McMahon likes this idea, saying that at the end of tonight’s show, we will have gathered all the evidence, and he will present the case to the WWE Universe. They will then question the main suspect, with the promise that there will be progress in the hunt for the attacker of Shinsuke Nakamura!

<hr>Following the opening segment, the commentary team (Tom Phillips, JBL & David Otunga) introduced the show, leading into a video package which featured stills from Sunday’s Money in the Bank…

 

This Sunday at Money in the Bank:
  • After Shinsuke Nakamura was attacked and taken out for the second time, The Miz became Mr. Money in the Bank!

  • Sasha Banks made history, becoming the first ever Miss Money in the Bank!

  • Making his Smackdown Live debut, No Way Jose was revealed as Tye Dillinger’s mystery partner.

  • The New Day became the new Smackdown Tag Team Champions.

  • Having done enough to secure a shock victory over Baron Corbin, Heath Slater’s dream of winning the Intercontinental Championship was taken away. Pulling the referee out of the ring, moments before the decisive fall, Rhyno shocked the world, hitting his former friend and partner with a GORE! GORE! GORE!

<hr>Straight out of the video package, we send over to Renee Young in the back. She is stood by with a downbeat looking Heath Slater.

http://i.imgur.com/VnsTy9Z.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/3QWGzza.png

With his head down, Heath Slater is asked if he has a message for Rhyno. When he was just moments away from becoming the Intercontinental Champion, on Father’s Day, Rhyno turned his back on his friend and partner. Raising his head, Heath Slater looks into the camera and says “why?” Clearly emotional, his voice is that of a broken man. Turning to Renee Young, Heath says “just… why?” Covering his face with his hands, it quickly becomes too much for Heath to handle. Wiping something from his eye, Slater’s emotions get the better of him. Walking out of the show, he yells “Why Rhyno... Why?!” as he leaves. Empathetic, Renee Young sends back to ringside.

Konnor vs. Tye Dillinger

Joined at ringside by their prospective partners, this match saw a much more laid back Tye Dillinger in control of the match. Clearly enjoying himself, Dillinger was able to make the most of the interaction with the audience, before finished off with a Diving Crossbody, the momentum of which kept Konnor down for the three.

 

Winner:
Tye Dillinger (via pinfall in 3:51)

 

Immediately following the match, Viktor jumped in the ring, looking to take Tye Dillinger out. While he managed to grab hold of the victorious Dillinger, Viktor was quickly joined by No Way Jose.

http://i.imgur.com/p8UUiyH.png

Hitting Viktor with an Uppercut, followed by sending Konnor out over the top rope, No Way Jose cleared the ring. Checking on his partner, No Way Jose took a microphone. Saying that it’s great to be here on Smackdown Live, No Way Jose says there’s no better way to make his arrival than with one of his best buddies, Tye Dillinger. No Way Jose says he’s going to have a lot of fun here on Smackdown, and he thinks that he’s got the “perfect dance partner” in Tye Dillinger!

 

Exiting the ring, No Way Jose and Tye Dillinger interact with the fans at ringside, engaging them in “10” chants and dancing up the ramp respectively.

Sending over to the back, we see that Shane McMahon is on the phone in the office, dealing with serious business. As he puts the phone down, Positive Enforcement enter the room.

http://i.imgur.com/otOJ5y5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/lZgmxaN.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/6UpcF6f.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/lZu9XKo.png

Explaining why he has brought them into his office, Shane McMahon tells Positive Enforcement that after their actions last week, they are suspects in the investigation into the attack of Shinsuke Nakamura. Bo Dallas clearly doesn’t care about the investigations, saying that they have much bigger fish to fry. At Money in the Bank, The New Day went back on their word, when Big E got involved in the match. Bo wants to know what Shane is going to do about it. Shane laughs at Bo, saying he’s already doing something about. Having attacked him last week, Apollo Crews will face Big E tonight!

<hr>Heading back to the interview area, we see Alexa Bliss stood by. She talks about the Money in the Bank, and her decision to get intentionally counted out against Naomi. Calling it simple self preservation, Alexa Bliss says she will do absolutely anything to ensure this Championship stays with her.

<hr>Coming back from the commercial break, the commentators once again talk about Heath Slater’s Intercontinental Championship match. Having come close to an unlikely victory, Slater was hit with a “Gore” from his long-term tag team partner and friend, Rhyno. Introducing a video package, we see footage of the history between the two men. Looking back to their unlikely formation, we see Heath Slater’s struggle, as the only unassigned talent in the WWE Draft. Eventually earning a Smackdown Live contract, Heath Slater began to team with Rhyno, becoming the first ever Smackdown Tag Team Champions. From this fairy tail genesis, the “odd couple” pairing have been inseparable, becoming best friends in the process. On Sunday night, that all changed, with a single Gore than killed Heath Slater’s Father’s Day dream. Making his way down to the ring, we see a suited Rhyno, wearing a white shirt open at the collar. Taking a microphone, he cuts a serious figure as he begins to address the audience.

http://i.imgur.com/lOC1Kjz.png

Responding to the question “Why Rhyno? Why?”, the former partner of Heath Slater turns the question on him, telling the WWE Universe that they should be asking “Why Heath? Why?” Because Rhyno doesn’t answer to anybody… but he has a hell of a lot of questions for Heath!

 

Rhyno asks “why?”, when the Smackdown Tag Team Championships were vacated, where they not in the match to crown new Champions? “Why?”, when they had the chance to earn their way back into contention, did Heath Slater pick a fight with Baron Corbin. A fight he had no chance of being able to win. Rhyno is the only reason that Heath Slater wasn’t wished the best in his future endeavours last year, but as soon as Slater had the chance to leave him behind, what did he do? He abandoned Rhyno and left him behind.

 

So what if Heath Slater was successful, then what would have happened to Rhyno? Would he have been relegated to ringside cheerleader like he was on Sunday? Would he even keep his job? Heath Slater has a family to look after… but he isn’t the only one. And did Heath Slater think about that when he abandoned him? No he didn’t! Heath Slater forgot all about Rhyno, merely inviting him to stand at ringside. Well this Sunday, Rhyno did stand at ringside… and he ensured that Heath Slater will
never
forget the name Rhyno!

http://i.imgur.com/3QWGzza.png

Having heard enough, Heath Slater comes to the top of the ramp, but Rhyno tells him to stop. He says that he has no doubt that they are going to battle it out in the near future, but tonight he needs Slater to listen. Rhyno tells Heath Slater that he has been in “this business” since Heath Slater was schoolkid. He has been a World Champion. When Heath Slater told Rhyno that “as a man” he couldn’t back down… he spat in the face of everything Rhyno has ever achieved. He doesn’t care that Heath didn’t take his advice, but when Heath Slater questioned Rhyno’s manhood… there was only one thing he could do. Rhyno says that he is proud to look Heath Slater in the eyes and says that if it wasn’t for him, Slater would be stood here as the WWE Intercontinental Champion…

 

Having followed the request to stay at the top of the ramp, this is the comment that pushes Heath Slater over the edge. Running down to the ring, Slater narrowly misses out on reaching Rhyno, who rolls out at the last moment. Rhyno then backs up the ramp, with a smirk growing on his face. In the ring, Heath Slater is emotionally charged, and lets out his frustrations by kicking the bottom rope.

Naomi vs. Summer Rae

This match is used to talk about the respective situations of the women involved. This Sunday, as she closed in on the Smackdown Womens Championship, Naomi ended up disappointed. While she did win the match, the result came via a deliberate countout, and resulted in Alexa Bliss remaining the Champion. Summer Rae has recently returned to the WWE, enlisting the help of Bo Dallas - and Positive Enforcement - in order to get her career back on track. In this match, there was no such luck, as Naomi picked up a convincing victory.

 

Winner:
Naomi (via pinfall in 3:24)

Returning from the break, discussion turns to the Tag Team Championship match at Money in the Bank. Returning to action, The New Day picked up the victory, after Big E countered the interference of Mark Henry. Following stills of the victory and celebration, The New Day make their entrance.

http://i.imgur.com/DCWrt38.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/zRpIwt8.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/bcdoI3O.png

Fun loving and irreverent, The New Day are given complete free reign to speak about their victory on Sunday, pointing out that a run even longer than their record-breaking Raw run could be on the cards! Their focus then switches to their opponents, and Big E takes over. Talking about the attack last week, Big E vows revenge on Apollo Crews in a theatrical and over the top manner!

http://i.imgur.com/lZgmxaN.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/DCWrt38.png

Apollo Crews vs. Big E

Equally strong and agile, two of the WWE’s most athletic Superstars went back and forth in an evenly contested match. With the presence of their respective partners at ringside, this match constantly looked on the brink of breaking down. Thankfully, the neutralising effect of those on the outside, meant that we did get a satisfactory resolution to the match. Gaining the revenge he desired, Big E was able to hit a Big Ending, pinning Apollo Crews for the victory!

 

Winner:
Big E (via pinfall in 8:29)

 

Following the match, The New Day took their Smackdown Tag Team Championships and celebrated in the ring! JBL was quick to note that The New Day “love to have fun”.

Returning to the second hour of Smackdown Live, we see that Seth Rollins has entered the office of Commissioner Shane McMahon. Once again interrupting a phone call, Seth Rollins isn’t in the mood to wait around.

http://i.imgur.com/otOJ5y5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/97cuyWV.png

Seth Rollins says that Shane McMahon promised to get to the bottom of this, but he hasn’t heard any progress. He asks what Shane McMahon has been doing all this time. Shane McMahon says that he’s busy, he is currently running a live TV show if Seth hasn’t realised. Seth Rollins says that isn’t good enough, they need answers quickly. Shane McMahon knows how serious this is, and he too wants answers soon. For that reason, he has contacted someone who the WWE Universe is very familiar with, and this person will be put in charge of the investigation. Rollins says that this is just another delay, but McMahon cuts him off. Shane McMahon tells Seth Rollins that they won’t have to wait, because the man will be here… tonight! As Rollins goes to leave, Shane adds that if Rollins is so desperate to keep busy, then he will be in action in tonight’s Main Event, against The Miz!

<hr>Returning to ringside, discussion turns to the historic first-ever female Money in the Bank ladder match from this Sunday. Becoming the first women to ever achieve this feat, Sasha Banks retrieved the Briefcase and secured a shot at the Smackdown Womens Championship at any time in the next year. Making her way to the ring, the first ever Miss Money in the Bank holds the Briefcase in the air.

Speaking emotionally, Sasha Banks puts over the proud achievement, stating that she is once again proud to make history. Talking about the history they have made, Sasha Banks says that while he may be the only one of the “Four Horsewomen” to be here on Smackdown Live, she will continue to fly the flag for Womens Wrestling. With this Briefcase, she has the opportunity to take the Championship back from the “cowardly” Alexa Bliss. Sasha Banks says that she really has the chance to make “Little Miss Bliss” sweat, and she fully intends to do that. Hearing her name, Alexa Bliss comes out to the ring.

Making her way to the ring, Bliss stops short, backing away before entering. Alexa Bliss tells Sasha Banks that there is no way she is going to share the ring with her, so she’ll just have to send her a message from here. Alexa Bliss tells Sasha Banks that if she so much as thinks about cashing that Briefcase in when Bliss has already competed, then she will make it her mission to ensure Sasha Banks’ wishes she was never born. Sasha Banks fires back, daring Alexa Bliss to test her. When Bliss refuses, the music of Natalya plays, and she is joined by her “Better Together” partner Emma.

Claiming that Sasha Banks “stole” the Briefcase from them at Money in the Bank, Natalya tells Alexa Bliss that if she isn’t willing to put Banks back in her place, then she is. This Sunday, it was every woman for herself, but tonight Natalya & Emma stand stronger than ever, and “Better Together”.

Natalya vs. Sasha Banks

Despite the best efforts of Emma at ringside, Natalya was unable to take control of this match, and Sasha Banks did very well remaining in the contest throughout. With the numbers game failing, Better Together somewhat proved their theory, as Sasha Banks fared much better against Natalya in singles competition. Building on her momentum from Sunday, Sasha Banks made Natalya submit to the Banks Statement.

 

Winner:
Sasha Banks (via submission in 7:57)

 

Following her victory, Sasha Banks raised her Briefcase in the air.

Heading over to the back, we see Shane McMahon has approached Dean Ambrose. Telling Dean Ambrose that everybody involved in the Money in the Bank ladder match is under suspicion, Shane McMahon says that he wants Dean Ambrose out in the ring at the end of the show. Making it clear that he doesn’t do sneak attacks, Ambrose’s response is light-hearted, portraying the air of a man with nothing to hide.

Baron Corbin vs. Local Talent

Wasting no time, Baron Corbin took just a minute to defeat a local talent, pinning him with an End of Days. The match was used to discuss the Intercontinental Championship match at Money in the Bank.

 

Winner:
Baron Corbin (via pinfall in 1:29)

 

Approached after the match, Baron Corbin is asked for his opinion on the situation between his opponent last Sunday, Heath Slater, and Slater’s former partner Rhyno. Completely dismissive of the interviewer, Baron Corbin says he doesn’t care about Heath Slater and he doesn’t care about Rhyno. He is the Intercontinental Champion, and that means he’s focussed on his next Championship defence and his next Champion’s payday. Baron Corbin isn’t interested in looking at what is happening behind him, he’s focussed on what is in front of him!

When we return, we are sent over to the realm of Bray Wyatt, where he stands with Erick Rowan over his shoulder.

Distancing himself from the attack, Bray Wyatt says that sinners learn nothing if they don’t know that their God is the one punishing them. Bray Wyatt is a man who believes in loyalty… but he has been betrayed. He knows that for their to be betrayal, there must be trust in the first place. Removing his mask, Erick Rowan adds that The Wyatt Family don’t hide behind a curtain, they exist only when the lights are on. He says that whoever attacked Shinsuke Nakamura is a coward… and Bray Wyatt is no coward!

<hr>Heading back to ringside, we see footage from “Earlier Tonight”, recapping the show’s opening segment. Throwing accusations towards one another, Seth Rollins and “Mr. Money in the Bank” The Miz were later put into this Main Event match. After The Miz makes his entrance, Seth Rollins comes down to the ring.

http://i.imgur.com/97cuyWV.png

When he enters the ring, he tells the referee to hold on. Earlier tonight, he started his own investigation, and he has something which proves beyond doubt that The Miz is responsible for the attacks on Shinsuke Nakamura. The Miz is dismissive and laughs it off, until Seth Rollins turns to the stage, requesting that footage is rolled. Before the footage can play, The Miz uses the distraction to hit Rollins with a cheap shot…

Seth Rollins vs. The Miz

Having taken control via a blindsided assault, The Miz enjoyed the early goings of this match, gloating to the audience as he dominated proceedings. However, this arrogance only took him so far, and eventually Seth Rollins began to come back into the match. Building momentum, Seth Rollins looked to be on the verge of a quick, decisive victory over the man who won the Money in the Bank ladder match on Sunday. Setting up for the “Kingslayer” Knee Strike, Seth Rollins was seconds away from the decisive strike, when The Miz rolled out of the ring.

 

Climbing up on the apron, Maryse tried to distract Seth Rollins, as The Miz went to grab his Briefcase from ringside. However, when The Miz tried to back up the ramp - having had enough - Rollins followed him. Throwing him back in the ring, Seth Rollins grabbed the Briefcase and placed it on the Steel Steps. Regaining control, Seth Rollins stalked The Miz, ready to him him with a Forearm Smash in the corner. Unfortunately, Maryse had slid the Briefcase over to The Miz, who used it to take Rollins down. Doing this is plain sight, the referee DQ’d The Miz.

 

Winner:
Seth Rollins (via disqualification in 6:41)

 

Heading into the final commercial break, we see The Miz holding tightly to his Briefcase, as he looks to quickly leave up the ramp. Taking a moment to gloat, we see The Miz and Maryse taking in their crowd reaction into the commercial break.

Returning for the last part of the show, we see that Shane McMahon is in the ring, along with The Miz and Seth Rollins.

http://i.imgur.com/FKWyDy9.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/3feYwGo.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/otOJ5y5.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/97cuyWV.png

We are then shown footage from “During the Break”, where Shane McMahon marched The Miz back down to ringside. Furious at his actions in the Main Event, Shane McMahon vowed to get to the bottom of this. Back live, Shane McMahon introduces the rest of the contestants in the Money in the Bank ladder match to the ring. Despite this, his tone suggests that The Miz is seen as the prime suspect.

http://i.imgur.com/jpCTzVR.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/k7y9YYv.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/P4wj7mG.png

Making their way down to the ring, Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt stand on the outside (on opposite sides of the ring), while Dean Ambrose takes a seat on the top turnbuckle.

 

Beginning his questioning, Shane McMahon asks Seth Rollins about his “footage”, which he claims proves The Miz’s guilt. The Miz claims there isn’t any footage, but Rollins asks for it to be played. The Miz clearly know what the footage will be, but Shane tells him to shut up. When it begins, we see The Miz and his wife Maryse talking in the back. Clearly a handheld camera, it is obvious that the couple aren’t aware that they are being recorded. Eavesdropping on the conversation, The Miz is heard talking about “blindsiding” someone when they “least expect it”. He also talks about “misleading everybody” being essential for the “plan” to work. As The Miz begins to talk details, including Maryse causing a distraction, he spots the camera. Looking as though he has been caught out, The Miz tried to grab the camera, but the operator is able to get away.

 

Coming back to the ring, Shane McMahon looks at The Miz, clearly wanting an explanation. Chiming in, Dean Ambrose says that the footage is pretty incriminating, and the case is closed. The Miz tells Dean to shut up, saying that he can explain. Tripping over his words, The Miz’s explanation is stopped by Shane McMahon before he can get it out. The Miz blurts that he was planning his future Money in the Bank “cash in”, but Shane isn’t buying it. The Miz accuses Seth Rollins of setting him up, claiming that he has alibis. He had nothing to do with the attack of Shinsuke Nakamura!

 

Shaking his head, Shane McMahon tells The Miz that the game is up, that footage right there is clear as day. Shane McMahon demands that The Miz confesses. When he refuses, Seth Rollins gets fired up. Breaking into a passionate promo about how The Miz could have ended Shinsuke Nakamura’s career, he talks about how The Miz has screwed the fans out of some great moments, and screwed Seth Rollins out of Championship opportunities. This hasn’t just affected Nakamura, The Miz has caused problems for his entire brand!

 

Shane McMahon backs this up, saying he is in good mind the fire The Miz right now. But instead, he will give The Miz one last chance to confess, or he will take that Briefcase and he will send The Miz on his way! Looking to his wife, The Miz simply can’t bring himself to admit guilt. Shane McMahon is disappointed. He says he knew The Miz was hard work, but he didn’t have him down as this much of a coward. He says that The Miz is a disgrace to Smackdown Live, to the WWE and to this business as a whole. He is disgusted by The Miz’s behaviour, and says there’s no place for it on
his
show.

 

“Miz… YOU’RE FI…”

 

Just before those definitive words can leave the mouth of The Miz, the music of a returning Daniel Bryan begins to play!

http://i.imgur.com/0rhhIPS.png

“YESing” his way down to the ring, Daniel Bryan tells Shane McMahon to hold on. Moments away from being fired, could The Miz’s career have just been saved by, of all people, Daniel Bryan? Daniel says that he understands Shane McMahon’s position, but he needs to hold on. As much as he hates The Miz, and everything he stands for, he
doesn’t
think The Miz is responsible for the attacks on Shinsuke Nakamura. Everybody in the ring reacts in complete shock. Every piece of evidence suggests that The Miz - one of Daniel Bryan’s most bitter rivals - was responsible for the attacks. What could have possibly convinced Daniel Bryan otherwise?

 

Shane McMahon is confused, and asks Daniel Bryan what he is talking about? Daniel Bryan says that The Miz had no reason to attack Shinsuke Nakamura at Backlash, he was focussed on an Intercontinental Championship match. Monday morning, Shane McMahon sent Daniel Bryan every single piece of evidence they had gathered, and while he can’t be certain, The Miz being behind the attacks doesn’t make any sense. Shane McMahon brought him back specifically to investigate this case, and he can’t let them punish somebody without due course.

 

Piping up, Dean Ambrose asks who was behind the attack then, if he’s so sure that it wasn’t The Miz. Turning to Dean, Daniel Bryan says that he has a prime suspect, but he won’t say until he can rule anybody else out. Stepping up, Seth Rollins says that this is important, and they need to know. Seth Rollins tells Daniel Bryan that if he thinks he knows who is behind this, he has to tell them! It’s his duty to everybody in the ring and all the fans, as the man trying to crack this case. Pausing for a moment, Daniel Bryan responds: “you wanna know who I think did this Seth?” he then turns to the audience “do you all wanna know who I think did this?”

 

Daniel Bryan then turns to his Commissioner Shane McMahon, who nods at him. Daniel Bryan says that the man who he thinks was behind the attacks on Shinsuke Nakamura is…
“SETH ROLLINS!”

 

Turning to the man he is accusing, Daniel Bryan has the look of an interrogator on his face. In complete shock, Seth Rollins can’t believe what he is hearing. Despite this, everybody else in the ring turns to him, with looks of suspicion. While it is clear Daniel Bryan didn’t want to have to make the accusation, Rollins left him with little choice. Bryan’s stern, unmoving face adds an air of certainty to his assertion, as the disbelieving Seth Rollins leaves up the ramp. Feeling betrayed by the accusation, Seth Rollins heads to the back, with Shane McMahon looking inquisitively towards the unbending Daniel Bryan!

 

Usually a fun-loving and jovial character, Daniel Bryan’s serious demeanor portrays a level of certainty, having been forced to reveal Seth Rollins as his prime suspect.

Prior to the match, Kurt Angle announced that Rusev - who had intentionally got himself DQ’d earlier in the night - would lose his spot in the Fatal 4 Way, if there was a repeat of the first match between the two. With Rusev looking instead to get himself counted out, Roman Reigns followed him up the ramp, only to be hit with a Superkick by Dolph Ziggler. Rusev being DQ’d has led to speculation regarding his status in the Fatal 4 Way, but there is little evidence to suggest he was in on the attack. Despite this, many within the WWE Universe have made the suggestion that the incident had the appearance of a set-up, due to the timing and nature of the attack. Following this video package, Kurt Angle makes his way to the ring. As he walks down the ramp, we are told that Kurt Angle will address the issue immediately. </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/J8t3rOC.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Kurt Angle says that all week, the WWE Universe have been sending him messages on social media, regarding the finish to last week’s main event. Stating that many within the WWE Universe believe that Rusev was in on the attack to Roman Reigns by Dolph Ziggler, Kurt Angle says that there have been many calls for Rusev to have his spot taken and given to Roman Reigns! Unfortunately, despite both Ziggler and Rusev’s cowardice, there is no evidence to suggest that the two worked together, and he can’t confirm that Rusev intentionally tried to get himself Disqualified. Hearing this judgement, Roman Reigns makes his way down to the ring. He doesn’t look happy.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/BNgO464.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Roman Reigns gets up into Kurt Angle’s personal space and tells him to “make the right decision”.

The upcoming show is called Fatal 4 Way, but if it wasn’t - he would be more than happy to give Reigns a chance to be added to the match. Roman Reigns isn’t ready to give up, and tells Kurt Angle what he told him last week.

Rusev is going to become the Number One Contender, because Roman Reigns blew his chance. Kurt Angle says that while Rusev didn’t get himself DQ’d, Kurt Angle is far from happy with his performance. Kurt Angle says that Rusev is lucky that he still has a place, because he has more than a suspicion that Rusev and Dolph Ziggler colluded last Monday. Rusev tells Kurt Angle to shut his mouth, Rusev has beaten Finn Balor and AJ Styles, and he can beat anybody in the WWE. Kurt Angle says if that’s the case, then Rusev can go one on one with Roman Reigns tonight.

Rusev responds, calling Roman Reigns a coward, who knows that he can’t pin Rusev. Roman Reigns doesn’t rise, saying “I’ll take you both at the same time!” Rusev eyes light up, and he tells Kurt Angle to make the match, harrowing him in an overly aggressive manner. Rusev says that tonight he will prove Kurt Angle, Roman Reigns and the entire WWE Universe wrong, and show everybody that Roman Reigns can’t beat him!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Kurt Angle is annoyed by Rusev’s antics, and tells him that he will make the match, if all the competitors are happy with it.

Luke Gallows says that a lot of stuff gets said in the heat of the moment, but the bond they have is too strong. Anderson adds that if they did want to take Styles and Balor out, then there’s a good chance that the Main Event of Fatal 4 Way would become a one on one! Kurt Angle says that the match is made, and he expects them in the ring tonight.

Anderson says that couldn’t be further from the truth. They’re not here to be bit-part players, they’re here for the “Main Event Money”. Gallows tells Angle that they won’t fight their brothers, and they sure as hell won’t do it tonight on Raw! For that reason, if Kurt Angle thinks that they’re just going to do as they're told, because he said so, then he has a hell of a lot to learn about what they present. Laughing at Kurt’s “authority”, the two men raise their beer bottles, clinking them together as the feed cuts.

This drew more aggression from Enzo Amore, who went face to face with Kevin Owens. Grabbing Enzo Amore by the face, Owens pushed Amore to the ground, to the fury of Big Cass.

A long-term rivalry, Rusev recently reignited the feud, costing Reigns a shot at the Number One Contendership match at Fatal 4 Way. Seemingly reluctant to fight Reigns - who would have gone into a Number One Contendership match as a favourite to face Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam - Rusev has tried to avoid conflict with “The Big Dog”. Earlier tonight, we saw Rusev push his General Manager too far, resulting in his place being put on the line. Dolph Ziggler’s beef in simpler, with “The Show-Off” feeling disrespected following an altercation with Reigns a few weeks ago.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Clearly up against it, Roman Reigns did well early on, but as expected, was eventually thwarted by the numbers game. With their own personal issues seemingly put aside (after Rusev told Ziggler to stay away from Lana, with whom he has history), the two formed a cohesive unit and kept Roman Reigns at bay. While there were moments of hope for Roman Reigns, this match appeared to be a foregone conclusion. To Roman Reigns’ credit, he refused to give up, even following a Superkick / Machka Kick combo which seemed certain to put the contest to bed. Kicking out, Roman Reigns looked to build one last potential comeback, only for his efforts to be stalled by a ref bump. With Rusev down, following a Clothesline from Reigns, Lana looked to help her husband, picking up a chair from ringside, which she hoped he could use against Reigns.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/0P95pPb.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Standing on the apron and waiting for her husband to come around, Lana held the chair in her hands, ready to throw it into the ring. Unfortunately for Lana, before Rusev made it back to his feet, she was confronted by Paul Heyman!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/uYKS4Ag.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Making his way down from the back, Paul Heyman joined Lana on the ring apron and took the chair out of her hands. Coming round from their side of the ring, Dolph Ziggler demanded Heyman drop to the mat, chastising him for costing his team certain victory. With Lana still on the apron, Heyman begins to argue with both of them, leading to Dolph Ziggler putting his hands on “The Advocate”. Looking to get away, Paul Heyman tries to grab himself into the ring, but unbalances Lana.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Falling into the arm of Dolph Ziggler, Lana is saved from a potentially dangerous fall to the mat by the man she was once romantically linked with. In the most unfortunate of timing, Dolph Ziggler’s catch happens just as Rusev climbs to his feet. Having missed the previous exchange with Paul Heyman, Rusev is furious, asking questions of both Dolph and Lana. This lack of trust in his wife ultimately costs Rusev, as he eventually turns straight into a Superman Punch from Roman Reigns. Dolph Ziggler looks to make up for this, but finds himself on the end of a Superman Punch too. Now free to focus solely on Rusev, Roman Reigns is able to hit a Spear to his opponent, securing the victory </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>and</em></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> a spot in the Fatal 4 Way!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winner:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Roman Reigns (via pinfall in 15:40)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Bringing himself to his feet, Roman Reigns looks to Paul Heyman on the outside with a confused expression.

Entering the ring, Paul Heyman “endorses” Roman Reigns, who we are reminded is Brock Lesnar’s priority opponent, following Reigns’ victory over The Undertaker at WrestleMania. This is used to explain Heyman helping a man who he has a highly negative history with. Having done him a “favour”, Paul Heyman doesn’t get the warmth he appears to expect from Reigns, as the winner of the Main Event refuses to allow Paul Heyman to raise his hand.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Remaining stoic, Roman Reigns’ stare clearly intimidates Paul Heyman, who adopts a defensive stance. Leaving the ring, and backing away up the ramp, Paul Heyman makes it 100% clear that he wants no trouble with Roman Reigns. As disagreements continue on the outside, between Dolph Ziggler, Rusev and Lana, Roman Reigns signals that he wants the Universal Championship. Despite being Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar’s first choice, Roman Reigns will have to get through AJ Styles, Braun Strowman and Finn Balor if he is to secure the Main Event match he so desires at SummerSlam!</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote>

Clearly taking his role as the man responsible for solving the “Who attacked Shinsuke Nakamura?” case seriously, the commentators remind us of Bryan’s reluctance in revealing Seth Rollins as his prime suspect last week. Taking a microphone, Daniel Bryan’s return promo is immediately cut off by Seth Rollins, who refuses to allow him to address the audience, until he can join him in the ring.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/97cuyWV.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Having maintained his innocence, Seth Rollins is understandably keen to clear his name, demanding that Daniel Bryan retracts his statement. Rollins says that he doesn’t want to make this a legal issue, but says that Daniel Bryan owes him an apology. Looking Seth Rollins in the eyes, in a manner that is more serious than we are used to from the Smackdown General Manager, Daniel Bryan tells Seth “I owe you nothing”.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Addressing Seth Rollins, Daniel Bryan says that he didn’t want to name him last week… but Rollins himself pushed him to it! Daniel Bryan was content to continue his investigation, if not for the comments of those in the ring. As much as Daniel Bryan would love to see the back of The Miz, he was brought in to deliver justice, and The Miz being fired last week - without due course - would have been unacceptable. Daniel Bryan explains that Shane McMahon sent him all the available evidence last Monday, and from the ideas he had already built up himself, he felt confident that The Miz was not responsible. For instance, what did The Miz have to gain from attacking Shinsuke Nakamura at Backlash, and that ignores the fact that he was in the ring when Nakamura was found unconscious.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Unconvinced, Seth Rollins says that The Miz has shown his jealousy of Shinsuke Nakamura before the attacks, but even if The Miz wasn’t responsible, what the hell makes him think Seth did this? Daniel Bryan says that he didn’t want to throw accusations around, but from his gut reactions, from what he has watched unfold and the evidence he has received, Seth Rollins has the clearest motive on anybody. Seth Rollins laughs, claiming that Shinsuke Nakamura getting attacked caused him to lose his spot in the Tag Team Championship match. Seth Rollins could have made history, why would he have attacked his own partner?</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Daniel Bryan says that Seth Rollins’ partner was attacked, but he remembers when the two were originally paired together. Rollins wasn’t overly enthusiastic about the prospect, he felt that he was here for the WWE Championship! Rollins has only had one goal since he returned from injury, and becoming the Tag Team Champion would have taken him off course. Daniel Bryan recalls a private conversation he had with Seth Rollins, where Seth begged him, telling him he would “do anything” to get out of the Tag Team Championship match. Soon after, Seth Rollins changed his tune, claiming he has ready to make history with Shinsuke Nakamura. That so called “change of heart” jarred with Daniel, and he was suspicious of Rollins from that moment.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Seth Rollins says that Daniel Bryan has been spending too much time at home, having calmed down somewhat, Rollins appeals to Bryan. Telling Daniel that he’s known him for years, he asks him if he really believes that he would do something so cowardly? Rollins admits he was against being a part of a Tag Team initially, but that’s because he had his eyes on a singular goal. When he took a step back, he realised what an opportunity he had. Rollins says that Bryan’s “evidence” shouldn’t override the man that Bryan knows, that Shinsuke Nakamura knows and the man the WWE Universe knows.

He tells Seth Rollins that he doesn’t “believe” anything. He never claimed that Seth Rollins was behind the attacks, but when he was pressed, he did reveal Rollins was his prime suspect. Rollins has the chance to clear his name, but when Seth Rollins promised to “have Nakamura’s back” at Money in the Bank, he is the first man they have to look to. Before Seth Rollins can respond, the music of The Miz begins to play.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/IjwJFf8.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/3feYwGo.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Joined by his wife, Mr. Money in the Bank brings his Briefcase to the ring with him.

With that said, The Miz wants to thank Daniel Bryan. When everybody else doubted him, Daniel Bryan saved Shane McMahon from making the biggest mistake of his career. While he has no doubt Raw would have been calling him Wednesday morning, The Miz is still Mr. Money in the Bank, and that is because of Bryan. </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Putting his arms out, The Miz proposes that Daniel Bryan gives him a hug. Daniel Bryan is not in the mood for The Miz’s antics, telling him that the main reason he knows The Miz wasn’t behind the attack is because baseball bat or not, The Miz couldn’t generate enough power to knock Shinsuke Nakamura out. Just because Bryan doesn’t think that The Miz wasn’t behind the attacks, it doesn’t change their history. Nor does it change his performance last week, where he got himself Disqualified intentionally. As a result of that finish, Daniel Bryan is going to make a rematch for tonight’s Main Event. If The Miz wants to use his Money in the Bank briefcase as offence, that’s fine, because that match with be a No Disqualifications match!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Returning from the commercial break, a graphic promotes the fact that John Cena will return to Smackdown Live next week!

Refusing the handshake, Heath Slater got the match underway. As the two began going back and forth, the commentators explain Heath’s moods, explaining how at Money in the Bank - when Heath Slater had clearly done enough to beat Baron Corbin for the Intercontinental Championship - his partner and best friend Rhyno betrayed him. Taking Heath out with a Spear, Rhyno ensured that Baron Corbin retained his title.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Clearly not over Rhyno betrayal, Heath Slater’s mind seemed elsewhere.

Despite the numbers game, Slater was able to mount a comeback, even taking Dallas down with a Dropkick, which sent him into Mark Henry’s arms. As Summer Rae checked on them, Heath Slater looked to close in on victory over Crews, until the music of Rhyno began to play.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/lOC1Kjz.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> In the split second that the music and appearance of Rhyno distracted Heath Slater, Apollo Crews was able to roll him up.

When the lights come back up, Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan are stood behind the trio.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/jpCTzVR.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/FdlDs4a.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Catching the three men off guard, Wyatt and Erick Rowan can dispose of The New Day.

He says that Seth Rollins can wear the mask of a good man, but beneath the facade is a twisted, egomaniac. Bray Wyatt sees that in the eyes of Seth Rollins. Bray Wyatt says that the mask will slip, but Rollins has the choice to not let it take a piece of him with it. He calls on Seth Rollins to embrace his true self, the self that everybody knows dwells within him. Once Seth Rollins unleashes his true nature on the WWE Universe, all he ever desired... everything he had… everything he has lost… will return to Seth Rollins!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Returning from the break, we see that the hot topic is still discussion of Daniel Bryan’s assertion that Seth Rollins is the prime suspect in the search for Shinsuke Nakamura’s attacker.

Competing in the Money in the Bank, off the back of some impressively dominant victories, there have been some calls for Luke Harper to be considered for a Intercontinental Championship shot in the future.

Saving himself, the fired up Luke Harper looked for revenge on Baron Corbin, and as such ignored the referee’s count.

So evenly matched were the two, it was only when Corbin got out of the way of a Lariat (having been backed up against the ringpost) that he managed to take Harper down. Capitalising on Harper hitting his arm against the post, Corbin hit a version of the End of Days to Harper, dropping him onto the Steel Steps on the outside.</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Heading over to the interview area, we hear from Naomi.

With that said, Rollins wants to know that Shane McMahon doesn’t believe that he was behind the assault. Shane tells Seth that he believes that everybody is innocent until proven guilty, and he has an open mind. Seth Rollins says that isn’t enough. He needs the trust of his boss, he needs to know that Shane still believes in him to be one of the faces of Smackdown Live!

Giving his some respite, The Miz was able to use the lack of rules to his advantage, but from early it was unlikely he would stand much of a chance in this contest. To Miz’s credit, he did surprisingly make it more competitive than it should have been, but punishing the man who he feels has pulled the wool over everybody's eyes served as great motivation for Seth Rollins.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Using Steel Chairs, Kendo Sticks and the announcer’s table at different points in the match, Seth Rollins’ was only threatened seriously once, and this was just before the end of the match.

Dropping out of the ring, Seth Rollins walks up the ramp, shaking his head continuously.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Having refused to directly deny the claim when confronted by Nakamura, Seth Rollins’ actions leave us with more questions than answers as Smackdown Live goes off air...</span></span></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote>

When Paul Heyman appeared, looking to counteract the involvement of Lana at ringside, a miscommunication between Rusev and Ziggler allowed Roman Reigns to pick up an all important victory. As a result of the pre-match stipulation, Roman Reigns will now feature in the Number One Contendership match at Fatal 4 Way!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Coming back live, the commentators discuss Roman Reigns’ victory, but add that Rusev has been contesting the decision all week. Despite this, Kurt Angle has other issues on his plate, as we once again go back to footage from last week. Seeing Gallows & Anderson had hit the bar, when they were scheduled to be in the ring to face AJ Styles and Finn Balor, Kurt Angle has promised to slap them with the strongest punishment in his power. Making his way down to the ring, Kurt Angle is ready to address said issue.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/J8t3rOC.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Stating that he knows Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson are in the building, Kurt Angle calls them down to the ring. Their actions last week are not befitting of a Raw Superstar and he has been in contact with his superiors all week, working out the harshest possible punishment. Kurt Angle says that he will not have his authority questioned, and as such he wanted to make an example of Gallows & Anderson. After long, drawn out discussions, they eventually settled on a punishment, and Angle says he thinks it’s best they are here to hear it in person.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/EGHPVJD.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/Hp3H3Fu.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Making their way to the ring, Gallows & Anderson flippantly ask Kurt what he is going to do, with Anderson outright asking “What are you going to do? Fire us?” Kurt Angle goes to speak, but Gallows cuts him off. Luke Gallows says that the balance of power in the WWE has shifted, but it seems like him and Anderson are the only guys smart enough to realise it. Because unlike before, there is competition now. If Kurt Angle fires them from Raw, he knows - like Stephanie McMahon knows - they’ll be making an appearance of Smackdown Live tomorrow night. The power is now with the Superstars, and that means that Kurt’s hands are tied. They guess that the punishment that Angle “agreed on” with the Raw higher ups is a slap on the wrist.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Kurt Angle comments on Gallows & Anderson, saying that they’re lucky to still be on Raw. They might think they’re “too smart” for everybody else, but they’re lucky. If it was up to Kurt, he would have fired them on the spot! As it is, the collective decision by those in charge of Raw, is to hit Gallows & Anderson where it hurts… their pockets. Anderson & Gallows laugh at this, saying that they’ll make whatever money they’re fined back ten fold, because they’re going straight to the top of the WWE! Kurt should be grateful, because they’re going to make him a lot of money. Kurt Angle says that their punishment isn’t simply a fine, because their actions are much more serious than that. Not only did they refuse to follow orders, they left the show early and had the temerity to show up in a bar. That is not professional, that is not the actions of a role model, and they have left Kurt Angle with no choice but to suspend them… indefinitely!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Gallows & Anderson are furious about this, and initially refuse to leave. Anderson says that they never claimed to be role models, and that the punishment is way over the top. Gallows says they aren’t going anywhere, and they’re going to make Kurt pay for this. As they look to intimidate Angle, ready to get physical with their General Manager, security run from the back. Forcibly removing Gallows & Anderson from the building, it takes over a dozen men to remove them from ringside!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Coming back from the break, we see Kurt Angle overseeing the removal of Gallows & Anderson from the building.

Rusev is furious with Kurt Angle, and demands that action is taken, Kurt Angle says that Rusev’s behaviour in recent weeks has been unacceptable, and last week he got what he deserved. He pushed Angle to his limits, and Kurt isn’t going to let people walk over him. Angle says he isn’t here to be liked, he’s here to do what’s best for Raw. Putting on the best show he can is the priority for Kurt Angle, which is why tonight Rusev will once again team up with Dolph Ziggler, against the team of AJ Styles and Finn Balor!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Neville, Gulak & Nese bt.

Looking close to victory on a number of occasions, both competitors had to pull something extra out to secure the victory.

This served him well, and despite coming into this match as the underdog, Jeff Hardy was able to make impressive headway early on. Braun Strowman was able to stay on his feet, but it appeared the experience and guile of Jeff Hardy could carry him through. Eventually, Braun managed to overpower Jeff Hardy, but the Tag Team Champion wouldn’t allow Strowman to keep him down. Breaking down slightly, the referee gave the two competitors leeway to return to the ring, knowing the nature of both would lead to action on the outside. This helped Jeff Hardy and he continued to break Braun Strowman down, eventually taking the big man off his feet. Setting Braun Strowman up on the Steel Steps on the outside, Jeff Hardy looked to hit his opponent with a Swanton Bomb. As Jeff Hardy went for that move, Braun Strowman rolled out of the way, returning to the ring.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> While Braun Strowman could have taken another countout victory over Jeff Hardy, he returned to the outside and dragged the lifeless Jeff Hardy into the ring. Adding to the rib injury sustained from hitting the Steel Steps, Jeff Hardy’s night was made worse by a Running Powerslam from Strowman.

This Sunday, there’s no way Jeff will be 100%, so they tell Matt Hardy he’d best be careful. Matt Hardy takes this as a threat and puts his fists up to fight. The Revival laugh at him, telling him to look after his brother… because after this Sunday, he won’t be able to!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Sheamus & Cesaro bt.

During the match, Kevin Owens made his presence known, and this proved decisive. Distracted, Shelton Benjamin was rolled up, with Sheamus taking advantage of Owens’ presence at ringside.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Following the match, Sheamus celebrated. Joining him in the ring, Cesaro looked a little bit uncertain of Sheamus’ actions. With a slight smirk, we could see that Cesaro was coming round, when Big Show returned to the ring to confront them. Feeling defensive, Cesaro jumps to his partner’s side, causing an argument to break out. Shelton Benjamin then joins in the discussion, feeling like Sheamus took the coward's way out. Kevin Owens appeared to be enjoying himself on the ramp, before leaving to the back.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Returning from the break, we see that Kevin Owens is stood over Big Show.

As Big Show and Shelton Benjamin walked up the ramp, disappointed in their defeat, Benjamin was blindsided by Kevin Owens. Reemerging having walked up the ramp, Owens laid in wait for Benjamin, taking him down. Going face to face with Big Show, Owens was overpowered by the United States Champion, but went low to take control. Laying into the Big Show, Kevin Owens was able to take custody of the Championship. Coming back live, the commentators discuss Kevin Owens’ actions, pointing out that recent months have seen him becoming increasingly paranoid. </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Enzo & Big Cass bt.

Making his way down to the ring, Roman Reigns makes his first appearance of the night. It is noted that while the other three competitors are booked in huge matches tonight, Roman reigns was given the night off. This is due to his recent pursuit of the final spot, and the competitive matches he has had in recent weeks. Grabbing a microphone, Roman Reigns is ready to discuss his place in the Fatal 4 Way, for the first time since he won it last week on Raw.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/BNgO464.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Refusing to acknowledge the fact that he only got his spot due to issues between Rusev and Kurt Angle, Roman Reigns also ignores Paul Heyman’s involvement in him taking Rusev’s spot in the Fatal 4 Way. Instead Roman Reigns focusses on the fact that there is only three men in between him and the Main Event of Summerslam. As Roman Reigns focusses on his journey towards the Universal Championship, he is cut off by the Paul Heyman.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/uYKS4Ag.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Talking to Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman says that while he is Brock Lesnar’ first choice for the Number One Contendership, he isn’t everybody’s. A lot of people see dream matches between Brock Lesnar and any of the other three competitors as higher priorities, and match making is no longer Paul Heyman’s business. Heyman points out that he helped Roman Reigns towards contention last week, but he won’t be there this Sunday to help him. Roman Reigns says that he’s always stood on his own, and he will do that this Sunday! AJ Styles, Braun Strowman and Finn Balor </span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>were</em></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> all contenders.

Teaming well together, AJ Styles and Finn Balor were clearly trying to oneup each other, as they started impressively with back and forth tags. Eventually, Dolph and Rusev were able to take control of the match, with AJ Styles finding himself on the receiving end of their offence. Looking to close in on victory, Rusev and Ziggler’s issues from last week appear to have completely dissolved. Despite this, there is still a certain tension between Dolph and Rusev’s wife Lana.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Making a comeback, AJ Styles was able to reach out to Finn Balor, bringing his opponent for this Sunday into the match. Finn Balor was able to take control back for his team, as momentum grew for the men who have been sidetracked by the suspended Gallows & Anderson in recent weeks. Finishing the match, Finn Balor was able to score the victory - and some revenge for his defeat several weeks ago - hitting a Coupe de Grace to Rusev!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Winners:</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> AJ Styles & Finn Balor (via pinfall in 13:23)</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Having their hands raised by the referee, it is clear that AJ Styles and Finn Balor have left a lot in the ring, just 6 days before their match at Fatal 4 Way for the Universal title’s Number One Contendership. It also appears that Finn Balor may have twisted his ankle on the landing of the Footstomp that won the match. Looking to regroup on the outside, we see that Lana and Rusev have been left by Dolph Ziggler, who carries on up the ramp.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> After celebrating to the audience, AJ Styles and Finn Balor’s arms are once again raised by the referee. Coming from behind, Rusev jumps AJ Styles, dropping him to the mat. Finn Balor turns, only to be hit with a Sidekick from Rusev. As AJ Styles resurfaces, Rusev hits a Machka Kick to his kneeling opponent. Scrapping Styles up from the mat, Rusev throws AJ Styles to the outside, switching his focus to Finn Balor. Hitting Balor with a Machka Kick too, Rusev doesn’t look finished with Finn, as he looks to take his frustrations out on the man who pinned him.</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Summoning Lana to the ring, Rusev’s wife brings a Steel Chair with her. Rusev hits Finn with the Chair several times, before swinging a shot at AJ Styles who lays lifeless on the apron. Digging the Chair into the back of Balor, it appears that Rusev is going to lock Balor in an Accolade. However, before he stretches back on the move, he throws Balor to the mat. Hitting Balor several times to the ankle, Rusev then sets up the Chair, wrapping it around his ankle. Lana then orders a “Rusev Crush!” Looking to break the ankle of Finn Balor, and perhaps take his place in the Fatal 4 Way, Rusev bounces off the ropes, looking to hit a big splash to the downed Finn Balor. On commentary, it is agreed that Rusev’s plan all along was to take one of his opponents out, and steal their spot in the Fatal 4 Way...</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> However, just moments before Rusev was going to break the ankle of Finn Balor, AJ Styles flew across the ring, hitting Rusev with a Phenomenal Forearm. Sending Rusev out of the ring, AJ Styles stood tall, before looking to leave up the ramp. Walking past the prone Finn Balor, AJ Styles has a better idea, offering a hand to Finn Balor. Helping his future opponent off the mat, the two men shake hands, going face to face as Raw goes off air!</span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> This Sunday - at Fatal 4 Way - AJ Styles and Finn Balor will be joined in the ring by Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns.

Having had a week to think it over, Seth Rollins will address the issue right now.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/97cuyWV.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Explaining his actions from last week, Seth Rollins says that he was offended that Shinsuke Nakamura even felt the need to ask him that question. Before he goes into anything, he wants “The King of Strong Style” to join him in the ring. Desperate for closure, Shinsuke Nakamura agrees, making his way down to the ring.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/0I6l7Pg.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Looking his one time partner in the eyes, Seth Rollins tells Shinsuke Nakamura: “I had nothing to do with what happened to you at Backlash… and I had nothing to do with what happened to you at Money in the Bank”. Shinsuke Nakamura looks somewhat sceptical, but Seth Rollins moves to reassure him. Rollins says that Daniel Bryan has got it wrong, and when this investigation is complete, the whole world will know that. At first, Seth Rollins was angry. He was angry with Daniel Bryan, he was angry with Shinsuke Nakamura, he was even angry with the WWE Universe. But now he understands, Seth Rollins understands that he has done wrong in the past. Whatever he tries to do to win back the trust of everybody who he ever turned his back on, he knows that his name will never be clear 100%. He has done some terrible things in the past, but he promises “hand on heart” that he had nothing to do with what happened to Shinsuke Nakamura.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> All he asks is that he is treated “innocent until proven guilty” and that Shinsuke Nakamura trust him when he says that he didn’t attack him. Holding his hand out, Seth Rollins offers a handshake to Shinsuke Nakamura, which he hopes will confirm the trust between the two has survived. Looking to the audience, a torn Shinsuke Nakamura eventually shakes hands with Seth Rollins. Taking the microphone, Shinsuke Nakamura looks to respond to Seth Rollins, but is cut off by the music of The Miz…</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/IjwJFf8.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/3feYwGo.png</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> As ever, The Miz is ready to add his two cents to the discussion, while remaining at the top of the ramp. The Miz says that Shinsuke Nakamura has fell for Seth Rollins’ deception hook, line and sinker. The Miz warns Nakamura that he has made a mistake, and when he is next taken out, he deserves absolutely no sympathy. Seth Rollins calls The Miz to the ring, but “The A Lister” refuses. Instead, The Miz says that Shinsuke is as stupid as Seth is deceptive, so his warning to Nakamura is simple: “watch your back”...</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Coming back from the break, we see a humorous skit featuring Fandango and Tyler Breeze.

Humouring the leader of Positive Enforcement, John Cena says that he is open to new ideas, and he wants to hear what Bo Dallas has to say. </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Caught somewhat off guiard, it soon becomes clear that Bo Dallas has never </span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>really</em></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> had to go this far. Bo Dallas tells John Cena that his mission should be clear, but he will run it over with him one time. Dallas says that John Cena used to represent positivity. He used to be the beacon of hope in a dark landscape. John Cena “rose above hate”, he fought monsters and giants. Right now, John Cena has to fight something else. John Cena must now fight against something he never has… time. Bo Dallas declares himself the future, and he promises that just like Crews, Henry and Summer, John Cena will find new life with Bo Dallas. Dallas says John Cena is a rusty relic and it is showing. Bo says that John Cena is “literally dripping with negativity” and if he accepts Bo’s offer, if he accepts Bo’s hand, then Bo Dallas will lead John Cena to the fountain of youth!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Having laughed Bo’s talk off throughout, John Cena once again plays along, pretending Bo Dallas’ words have resonated with him. Accepting his offer, John Cena shakes hands with Bo Dallas. However, as Bo Dallas tries to release the grip, Cena pulls him back in, hitting “The Inspirational One” with an Attitude Adjustment. Bo Dallas rolls out of the ring, with John Cena telling any of Positive Enforcement to bring it on. They refuse, instead opting to carry with leader to the back...</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> <hr>Heading to the Smackdown Live office, we see Shane McMahon and Daniel Bryan discussing the return of John Cena. Changing the subject, Shane McMahon wants to know what Daniel Bryan’s next move is in the “Nakamura Case”. Daniel Bryan says that he is now looking into the object used to take Shinsuke Nakamura out. Bryan says that it has been overlooked, but Nakamura said that he was taken out with a Baseball Bat. Bryan says that he hasn’t been able to find the actual bat, but if they can, it will be a major breakthrough in the case! Shane says that he is on board with that, and encourages Bryan to follow that lead. Meanwhile, Shane McMahon has an announcement he had to make, regarding the future of the WWE Championship!</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></div></div></div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43542" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/IeJZzh4.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/WY2irym.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/wrDmFGA.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/siqnOAg.png</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/Xw2rFZt.png</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Better Together vs. Naomi & Sasha Banks</strong></span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> Continuing to prove their abilities as a team, Better Together once again worked as the more cohesive unit in the match.

As a result of Randy Orton missing Money in the Bank, Shane McMahon says that there is extra importance on the next defence that Orton makes. Therefore, next week, Shane McMahon promises to name a new Number One Contender in the fairest way possible. Next Tuesday, there will be a Battle Royal featuring 10 of Smackdown Live’s top talents… the winner of that match will go on to face Randy Orton at Battleground!
