"SmackDown! LIVE" Results & Report vom 27.06.2017

Zitat

We go right to the ring and out comes SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan to a big pop. Fans chant "yes!" and Bryan's name.

Bryan talks about how he's proud of the women's division and then plugs tonight's two matches - Lana vs. SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi and the Money In the Bank Ladder Match. Bryan goes on about the main event but the music interrupts and out comes Carmella with James Ellsworth. Fans boo them. Carmella says this is more like the land of injustice, not the land of opportunity. She talks about being unjustly stripped of the briefcase last week and says she won the match fair & square. Carmella goes on about how she was done wrong. Bryan asks fans if he should cancel the match and give Carmella the briefcase or if they should have the match tonight. A "yes!" chant starts up at the last option. Ellsworth tells everyone to shut up with the chants. They make him sick. Ellsworth says the fans are the villains here because they control this stupid puppet Bryan. Ellsworth says Bryan takes pleasure in humiliating his homegirl. An "Ellsworth sucks" chant starts up. Ellsworth says Bryan is just as pathetic as the fans. Ellsworth used to look up to Bryan as a man but now when he looks at him he doesn't see a man, he only sees a gutless, spineless coward that has no grapefruits to cut it in the ring anymore so he made up some injury. Bryan says he probably should just fire Ellsworth but tonight it's not about Ellsworth, it's about the real Superstars of SmackDown. Bryan knows he said last week Ellsworth would be banned from ringside tonight but he takes that back. Ellsworth will be banned from the entire arena instead. Bryan calls for security to come out. Carmella says Ellsworth didn't mean it. She begs Bryan to change his mind. Security comes out to a pop. Ellsworth tries to run but they grab him and drag him away as Carmella screams. Ellsworth breaks free and goes for the timekeeper's area but they grab him again. He tries to go through the crowd again but security finally carries him away to the back. Bryan sincerely wishes Carmella good luck in tonight's main event. Bryan's music hits and he leaves Carmella looking down.

Non-Title Match

After the match, The Usos stand tall with the titles but music interrupts and out comes The New Day. Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E hit the ring and face off with the champs. Woods says they're proud of The Usos for actually winning a match without running away. Big E says they want the gold and at Battleground, they're coming for The Usos. The Usos say they've already beat The New Day. They rhyme about The New Day and accept the challenge for Battleground. The New Day responds with shots of their own to end the segment.

Tom talks about The Ascension and Breezango, leading us to another edition of The Fashion Files. Tyler Breeze and Fandango are apparently interrogating Konnor and Viktor. They deny attacking Breezango and say they were only at Money In the Bank because they wanted a spot on the card. Breeze and Fandango go to their office and see it's been destroyed again but this time The Ascension were still in the interrogation room. The mystery continues.

WWE SmackDown Women's Championship Match
Naomi © besiegt Lana durch Pinfall nach dem Split Legged Moonsault. - [01:10]

After the match, Naomi stands tall and raises the title as her music hits. She taunts Lana by dusting her own boots off. Lana looks on from the mat as Naomi celebrates and we go to replays. We come back to Lana throwing a fit as Naomi makes her exit.

Dasha Fuentes is backstage with Becky Lynch for comments on tonight's main event. Becky says thankfully Daniel Bryan did what was right with James Ellsworth and now she has a fair chance to be the first woman to legitimately win Money In the Bank. Becky walks off.

We go to the ring and Hamilton introduces Aiden English, who is in the ring with a spotlight and a mic. He starts singing but fans boo. The music interrupts and out comes Randy Orton to a pop. Back to commercial.

Back from the break and Randy Orton is sitting in a chair in the middle of the ring. No sign of English but Orton did hit him with the RKO during commercial. Orton says he's not leaving until he gets what he wants. He says maybe he's not making himself clear enough. He tore into WWE Champion Jinder Mahal last week and shows us a replay on the big screen. Orton says that pales in comparison to what he will do to Jinder if he doesn't get what he wants from Jinder - a rematch. Orton says if he doesn't get what he wants he will go in the back and beat the hell out of Jinder. Orton's going to beat him again in the parking lot as everyone is leaving the arena, again in the morning and then again next Tuesday, if he doesn't get what he wants. Orton says it looks like he's going to the back to beat some ass. Orton goes to leave the ring but the music hits and out comes SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon. Shane hits the ring and fans chant his name. Shane says what's up to San Diego and turns to address Orton. Shane says he and Orton go way back but they can't have him holding up live TV and they can't have him threatening the safety of the WWE Champion. Orton asks if Shane is going to fire him. Orton threatens to buy a ticket to every WWE show Jinder is at and attack him. Orton is fired up about Jinder threatening his family. Orton says Shane can make the wise decision to put him in a match with Jinder. Shane gets it - The Singh Brothers crossed the line at Money In the Bank but with all due respect, Orton has used some of those same tactics in the past. Shane says he has never seen this look in Orton's eye and because he can relate, he knows what it feels like when someone puts their hands on a family member. Shane says Orton has his rematch. He has the opportunity to get the rematch at Battleground. Shane says Jinder will be choosing a stipulation for the match. Orton doesn't give a damn what the stipulation is because the title is coming home where it belongs. The music hits and out comes Jinder with The Singh Brothers to interrupt. Jinder says this is what's wrong with WWE and SmackDown. He goes on and says Orton isn't worthy of a title shot. Jinder speaks some in Punjab and takes a shot at WWE Hall of Famer Bob Orton. The USA chants start up as Jinder talks about how he's disrespected. This is the prejudice he speaks of. Jinder mentions The Great Khali and calls him his personal hero. Jinder will bring back a match made by Khali at Battleground - Punjabi Prison. We get a quick video look at the Punjabi Prison structure. Jinder's music hits as he stares Orton down from the stage.

Daniel Bryan is backstage talking to someone on the phone about Punjabi Prison. AJ Styles walks in and asks about Kevin Owens' Open Challenge. The WWE United States Champion walks in and asks if AJ is complaining about not being able to answer the challenge last week. Owens goes on and says AJ needs to accept the fact that he's a loser. AJ says only if Owens accepts the fact that Owens is Ron Burgundy's definition of San Diego. Owens gets upset and doesn't understand the reference. Bryan announces an Independence Day Battle Royal for next week's SmackDown. The winner will face Owens at Battleground. Owens hates the idea and walks off.

Back from the break and Mike & Maria Kanellis are on the stage.
Maria introduces herself as the First Lady of SmackDown. Mike introduces himself as Maria's husband. Maria starts talking but Sami Zayn's music interrupts and out he comes for his entrance. He apologizes for crashing their segment but he heads to the ring as they look on.

Singles Match
Baron Corbin besiegt Sami Zayn durch Pinfall nach dem End of Days. - [08:20]

Dasha is backstage with Shinsuke Nakamura for comments on Corbin's win and a potential match between the two. Nakamura says Corbin is dangerous but Corbin is motivated by fear. Fear of what Nakamura can do. Perhaps Corbin is right to be afraid. Nakamura walks off as we hear fans chanting his name in the arena.

WWE SmackDown Women's Championship Contract - Money in the Bank Ladder Match
Carmella besiegt Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, Natalya & Tamina durch Stipulation. - [24:32]

Sehr gute SmackDown Live Ausgabe diese Woche

Das MitB Main Event war von der Qualität fand ich ähnlich wie beim PPV, nicht überragend aber ausreichend. Definitiv das passendere Finish.
Ich bleibe dabei, das Finish vom PPV war zwar unpassend und unwürdig, aber es hat zumindest richtig viel Heat für Carmella und Ellsworth generiert. Das ist wenigstens eine richtig positive Sache. Carmella hat auch diese Woche am Mic wieder sehr überzeugt.
Es fehlten ein paar High Spots mit etwas mehr Impact, aber man wollte wohl möglichen Verletzungen aus dem Wege gehen. Kann ich mit leben.

Das Womens Championship Match war irgendwie sehr überflüssig. Anscheinend war Lana wirklich nur eine Übergangslösung, damit Naomi etwas zu tun hat während die anderen Frauen in der MitB Storyline verstrickt waren.

Die Ankündigung zum Punjabi Prison Match ist sehr erfreulich. Ein Match das es ewig nicht gab, und es sollte definitiv besser werden als das House of Horrors Match xD

Weitere Highlights waren mal wieder The Fashion Files und Talking Smack. Da gabs wieder ordentlich was zu lachen.
Die Sachen für nächste Woche klingen auch schon wieder einladend.
Mal sehen ob Cena direkt an der Battle Royal teilnimmt, oder was er sonst vorhat.
Ansonsten ist AJ Styles wohl der Favorit.
