WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: SO MANY NON TITLE MATCHES, BALOR VERSUS CORBIN, AND SO MUCH MORE

We are back and Edge says that he has been told that Seth Rollins is not here tonight.  He is nowhere near here.  Edge says he does not blame him.  It would not work out too well for him because if Seth was here, he would be in jail.  He had no problem until Seth cost him the title at Money in the Bank.  I would have done the same thing.  It is like looking at a mirror.  This will not end well for either of us.  It will end and if Seth was here tonight, it would end.

Seth appears on the TitanTron 'via satellite'.  

Seth says Edge thinks he is so smart and has everything figure out, other than last week when I smashed your face with a camera.  You should have seen it coming because it was out of your playbook.  We are a lot alike.  We are drawn together in this dance.  That is where the similarities end.  If the Ultimate Opportunist is half the man the Architect is, he would know to have a Plan B.

Edge says he has a Plan B.  What about you and me at SummerSlam.

Seth tells Edge to cool his jets and he says that he calls the shots around here, not Edge.  Seth says he will think about it.  He says he has a lot going on.  He tells Edge that while he mulls it over, maybe Edge should think about it.  What are you getting yourself into?  You know what it is like to have my boot on the back of your neck.  You know what happens when I stomp on someone's neck who is perfect.  What about someone whose neck has been fused three times.  Your little comeback and career will be done.  What kind of future will you have as a husband and father.

Edge tells Seth not to talk about his family.  You think you are the architect.  You are a fever dream of a televangelist and Colonel Sanders.  You circle back to me.  I helped eliminate you in the 2020 Royal Rumble and the 2021 Royal Rumble.  It was because you didn't finish the job in 2014 and it is biting you in the ass.  Edge says that Seth is trying to walk in his footsteps because you cannot follow them.  You are Edge Light.

Seth says he has had enough.  He says he is better than Edge in every single way and you know it.  You want me one on one at SummerSlam?  You're on.

Kayla Braxton is in the back with Finn Balor.

Finn says last week he was this close to signing a contract for the Universal title, until Baron Corbin stuck his nose in his business.  A contract signed by John Cena.  Corbin should worry about his own business.  If he wants to get back on his feet, he will need to have some honor and integrity.  He will teach him the hard way.  When he is done with Corbin, he has a bone to pick with John Cena.
