WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: A TOWN HALL, TAG TITLE MATCH, AND A LOT OF SHANE MCMAHON

By Richard Trionfo on 2019-07-16 21:59:00

We are back with a look at the start of the show when Kevin Owens was told he was not needed tonight, and then Kevin attacking Shane, followed by Dolph trying to get Kevin back for a match.

The New Day make their way to the ring.  

Kofi says now that they don't have any more 'techincal difficulties', they can talk about things.  

Xavier says you may as well call Kofi 'Simon Phoenix' because he dismantled the Samoan Submission Machine and he is the Demolition Man.  Kofi mentions Xavier and Big E's victory at Extreme Rules to become Smackdown Tag Team Champions.  Now they are three African American Leprechauns because they have all the gold.  Big E says we all know what Daniel Bryan's big announcement is and before a ten minute lecture on fracking and licking ice cream, they will accept Daniel and Rowan's rematch tonight in Worcester.

Daniel Bryan makes his way to the stage with Erick Rowan.

Daniel and Rowan go to the back without Daniel saying anything.

Daniel comes back out and he starts to say something but goes to the back again.

The third time is the charm and Daniel still says nothing and he drops the mic before going to the back.

Samoa Joe's music plays and he makes his way to the stage.  

Joe says Daniel Bryan is not in the mood for a championship opportunity but Joe is not the same.  Joe says Kofi's back up dancers are giving out title matches like it is Christmas in July.  Why follow their lead and give him a title match tonight.

Elias comes out and he tells Joe with all due respect you had your chance at Extreme Rules and it did not work out.  If there is anyone who is primed and ready to take the title from Kofi, it is Elias.

Randy Orton joins the party on the stage.  

Randy apologizes and he says it has been a while since he had that gold around his waist.  Randy says he is going to take it and he will do it using the three most destructive letters in the WWE . . . RKO

Elias says they all cannot have championship matches tonight, but they can give a message to the three in the ring.

Xavier suggests a six man tag match . . . playa?  Big E says that sounds like a challenge . . . playa.  We have a New Day huddle and Kofi says they accept . . . playa.

Randy says no and Kofi says that you would expect the Viper would be up and ready to strike at any time, but it appears that he has gone a little limp.

Randy has been McFly(ed) and he makes his way to the ring as we go to commercial.
