WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: BIG E AND BALOR AS A TEAM, SETH SHINES AS HE TALKS ABOUT EDGE, IT'S A HARD KNOX LIFE FOR BIANCA AND BECKY, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2021-09-17 21:57:00

We are back with a look at Bianca Belair's day in her home town.

Paul Heyman walks in the back and Kayla gives Paul a heart attack as she ambushes him.  Kayla says that there are rumors that Brock might be going to Raw and she asks Paul what are his thoughts.

Paul says Kayla is crazy to think that he is still Brock's advocate and he is shocked that Kayla has sources.  Paul tells Kayla that her obsession over him is not possible.

Paul turns around into Big E.  Paul congratulates Big E on becoming the WWE Champion.  Paul says that Big E made the smarted decision because he knew he would not be successful cashing in against Roman and he went after a champion who is vulnerable. 

Big E says we will find out at Survivor Series but will it be against Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar?  Will the Demon mess with those plans?

Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso attack Big E and send him into a storage case.  They send Big E into another storage case while they continue the attack.

Roman Reigns walks by and he looks at his cousins and then continues walking.

We are back in the ring and Seth Rollins is about to speak.

Seth says it was unfortunate and someone should have helped Big E.  On to more important things.  Last week, I had one of the greatest matches of his career when he defeated Edge in Madison Square Garden.  We have had a week to process the end of that match.  Seth says what happened to Edge was unfortunate and unsettling.  It was scary what happened to Edge at the end of the match.  When his boot came down across the back of his neck, I heard a pop.  I felt a crunch.  i don't know how to describe it other than . . . do you know . . . when you step on a cockroach but don't know what you step on but you hear the crunch and you know that there is a lifeless being underneath.

We take a look at the footage.

Seth says he knows that is difficult to watch and he understands why the people are booing.  Seth says he has a question for everyone and it is the same question he has been asking himself.  What did you think was going to happen?  Seth wants to know what you thought was going to happen.  That was one of the greatest wins of his career and he didn't have a moment to enjoy it.  Everyone is looking at him and calling him a monster.  This company said that what he did was unconscionable and he was told he went too far.

Seth says he used a legal move in a legal match and he won the same way he won a majority of matches in his career.  Seth says Edge went too far.  He is a family man and he knew the risks.  He knew the consequences and he got in the ring with Seth.  Do you know who is to blame?  Look to the left, to the ring, and in the mirror.  You are to blame for what happened to Edge.  You goaded Edge into goading me.  Do you remember when Edge called Seth 'Edge Lite'?  What did you do?  You cheered.  What about when he dumped black gunk on him?  What did you do?

If you didn't like that, you are not going to like this.  I am not done with Edge.  This week on NXT, Edge's wife said that Edge was at home recuperating.  Edge, if you are at home, you are watching.  You are thinking the same thing that I am thinking.  Are you physically capable of getting back in this ring?  Are you emotionally capable of getting back in this ring?  I saw the look in your eye when they had you on that stretcher and put you in that ambulance.  That look was fear.  For a moment, I felt sorry for you and it has been eating me alive in the back of my brain for the last week.  I cannot live feeling sorry for you.  I have to move on.  I can't do that until I finish you.  

It ends two ways.  I find you in your cabin and I finish you in front of your family.  Or you crawl your way back to the ring so we can finish this dance in the ring.  I have to finish you, one way or another.

Kayla Braxton is in the back and she is with Becky Lynch.  Kayla asks if Bianca's celebration tonight will give Bianca momentum going into Extreme Rules.  Becky says momentum will keep going until it meets an opposite force.  She had momentum going into SummerSlam.  Tonight is a big night for Bianca and Becky says she might have to check it out.

Match Number Three:  Zelina Vega and Carmella versus Toni Storm and Liv Morgan

Storm and Carmella start things off and Carmella knocks Morgan off the apron.  Carmella avoids Storm and tags in Vega.  Vega pushes Storm and Vega blocks a kick.  Storm kicks Vega into the corner and Carmella distracts Storm and Vega kicks Storm.  Vega with a running knee for a near fall.  Vega with a Kimura and punches to the back into a suplex.  Carmella and Morgan tag in and Morgan with forearms.  Carmella with an Irish whip but Morgan with a boot.  Morgan sends Carmella into the turnbuckles and Carmella goes to the floor and she is screaming about her nose.

The referee gets to ten while Carmella is still on the floor.

Winners:  Toni Storm and Liv Morgan (by count out)

After the match, Liv says she is so sorry that she broke her nose.  Liv says she is not sorry at all.  She is tired of her running her mouth and running away.  Liv challenges Carmella to a match at Extreme Rules.  If you accept, I will make you look as hideous on the outside as you are on the inside.

The Street Profits are in the back.  Ford says the EST of the WWE is HOME.  That means they are celebrating tonight.  Ford says that Shotzi and Tegan are bringing the tank.  Dawkins says they are hungry for the tag titles.  They say the Usos are scared.  They are distracted from the fact that you are going to lose your titles. 

We go to commercial.

We are back and Carmella is in the medical room.  Carmella says Liv tried to make her a five, like her.  There is something about being jealous, but she tried to deface the most beautiful woman in WWE.  Carmella says the match is on.  Zelina tells Sonya and Adam that Liv has to go through her first.

Finn says he was not born into a wrestling family.  He does not have a Bloodline.  He came from a family of railroad workers.  He is not supposed to be here.  He fought and scratched.  The Demon is a manifestation of everyone who told him no.  It unlocks a rage inside him that cannot be controlled.  He does not summon the Demon, the Demon summons him.  Roman and his cousin's disrespect only adds fuel to the fire.  Roman will see the fire that burns inside him burn deeper than the fires around him.  You are looking at the face of Finn Balor.  At Extreme Rules, you will see the face of the Demon, the Universal Champion at Extreme Rules.

We are back and on Monday night The New Day will face The Usos and Roman Reigns.

Sonya Deville is in the back and she is on the phone.  Naomi shows up and tells Sonya to hang up her phone.  Naomi wants to know when her match is.  Sonya says there isn't enough time tonight and come back to her next week.  Naomi says she has been here longer than Sonya and one way or another, she will get her match.

Match Number Four:  Dominik Mysterio (with Rey Mysterio) versus Sami Zayn

Zayn goes to the floor when the bell rings and Zayn has some words for Rey.  Dominik goes to the floor and Zayn returns to the ring.  Zayn kicks Dominik when he gets back into the ring.  Zayn with a clothesline and he gets a near fall.  Dominik blocks a power bomb and connects with forearms.  Dominik with a springboard head scissors but he runs into a boot from Zayn.  Zayn with a chop and Zayn tries to show Dominik how to do moves off the ropes but Dominik crotches Zayn and knocks him off the apron.  Dominik with a springboard cross body onto Zayn.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Dominik blocks a Blue Thunder Bomb while we are told that Naomi has been fined by officials.  Dominik gets a near fall.  Dominik wtih a back elbow and a tornado DDT for a near fall.  Dominik with a round kick and a drop kick that sends Zayn into the ropes.  Dominik with a 619 and then Dominik goes up top and goes for a frog splash but Zayn gets his knees up and gets the three count.

Winner:  Sami Zayn

After the match, Sami tells Rey that Dominik is not ready and maybe he isn't as good a coach as he thinks he is.

We take a look at what Bianca Belair has done in her return to Knoxville.

Kane makes his way to the ring.

We go to commercial.

Next week, Shinsuke Nakamura will defend the Intercontinental Title against Apollo Crews.  Liv Morgan will face Zelina Vega.

Kane says as mayor of Knox County, it is his honor to welcome back the EST of WWE to her home town.

Bianca Belair makes her way to the ring.

Kane asks how does it feel to be back in Knoxville and Bianca says it is great.  She thanks her friends and family who came tonight.  Bianca says that everything that happens in your past, shapes your future.  Knoxville made her into the EST.  It was right here where her daddy taught her if someone starts something with you, you better finish it.  Becky caught her off guard at SummerSlam but she has always fought and scratched to get back to the title.  She will take back her Smackdown Women's Championship at Extreme Rules.  

Kane tells Bianca that after she wins the title back, she needs to come back to Knoxville to celebrate.

Kane presents Bianca with the Key to the County.

Bianca says she is proud to be Knoxville made.  Bianca says they need to sing Rocky Top.

Becky Lynch comes out and she finishes singing the song.  Becky congratulates Bianca and she says that Kane lied when he said you will be champion after Extreme Rules.  You are Knoxville's champion.

Becky says she has never been to a homecoming.  She mentions how Bianca got a key.

Bianca asks Becky why is she here.  You are in here but you don't even go here.  

Becky says she didn't come out to steal Bianca's thunder.  Becky says SummerSlam was her night and Extreme Rules will probably also be her night.  She tells Bianca that tonight is her night.  You have all of these little boys and girls who look up to Bianca and she offers her hand to Bianca.

Bianca shakes the hand and then she does not let go as Becky tries to walk away.  Becky misses a clothesline and Bianca gets Becky up for the KOD.  Becky gets to her feet and hits a uranage.

We go to credits.
