WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: A FACE TO FACE SITUATION, MORE MATCHES THAT NEVER HAPPENED . . . BUT WE HAVE NEXT WEEK, WHAT ABOUT BROCK?, AND STEPHANIE SPEAKS

By Richard Trionfo on 2022-07-22 21:58:00

Sheamus, Ridge Holland, and Butch make their way to the ring.

We go to commercial.

We are back and there is a table in the ring.  

Sheamus says there is a bit of a stench in here.  He thought it was the Charles River but it might be the fake Irish people around him.  Tonight, they are going to make history.  It is not fight night.  Tonight is the night he was supposed to Brogue Kick Drew McIntyre's head off to earn a match at Clash at the Castle.  Drew tried to knock his head off his shoulders and that match will not happen until that sword is banned.

Sheamus says he tried to chop his head off.  He tried to take his moneymaker.  Drew should be called McMenace.  That weapon of war has no place in that ring.

Drew McIntyre's music plays and he makes his way to the ring and he has his sword with him.

Sheamus, Ridge, and Butch stand behind the table in the middle of the ring and make sure to stay on the other side of the table.

Sheamus says the sword has no place in the ring.  He says Holland will take Butch out of here if Drew puts the sword down.    He says they can talk like civilized human beings.

Drew wants to know what happened and when did Sheamus become such a bitch.  Where is the Sheamus he has known for 20 years.  We have a chance to main event the first stadium show in the UK in 30 years and you are going to punk out every week?  The champion has the titles held hostage and he shows up when he wants.  The other option isn't any better.  We need a real champion and workhorse.  He says Sheamus can fight and why not do this number one contender match right now.

Drew tells Sheamus not to make any excuses and he tells Sheamus to show some balls.

Sheamus says what Drew said put goosebumps up and down his arm.  He knows he is better than Drew and if you want that fight . . . you're gonna get it . . . just not tonight.  

Sheamus says he spoke to WWE upper management.  They have agreed to have the match and it will take place next week on Smackdown.  He says Drew's sword is banned because there is a special match in mind.  It will be an Irish Downybrook match.  No DQ or count outs.  Swords are not allowed, but shillelaghs will be.  There will be other shenanigans in the match.  Do you have the balls?

Drew tells Sheamus if that is what it takes, he accepts.

Sheamus tells Adam Pearce to come out to make it official.

Adam says the match sounds incredible and both of you want it, so the match is official.

Drew cuts the shillelagh in half with the sword.  

The Usos are in the back and Jey says they are going to get it at SummerSlam and they are going to get it tonight.  Jey says if Theory says anything tonight, he is going to get got.  

Paul Heyman shows up and he brings up the six man tag match.  The Street Profits are a handful who would be the greatest team of this generation if it weren't for you.  With Theory and you drop him early, it will be two on three.  Exploit what Theory brings to the table.  After you win tonight, then let's go off the air with Theory face down on the canvas.  Let's make sure that is not a prediction, but a spoiler.

Match Number Three:  Raquel Rodriguez versus Sonya Deville

They lock up and Raquel backs Sonya into the corner and Sonya sends Raquel into the corner and runs her forearm across the face.  Sonya with a waist lock and Raquel is not impressed.  Raquel misses a clothesline but she punches Sonya and applies a waist lock.  Sonya with back elbows and escapes after a kick to the knee.  Sonya sends Raquel into the turnbuckles a few times.   Sonya sends Raquel to the mat and hits a running knee for a near fall.  Raquel escapes a chin lock and hits a head butt and punch.  Raquel with an Irish whip and fallaway slam.  Raquel with a twisting elbow drop but Sonya grabs the rope to stop the count.  Sonya kicks Raquel from the corner.

We go to commercial.

Match Number Four:  Aliyah versus Lacey Evans

Before the match starts, Lacey takes the mic.  She says that is no way to treat an American Hero.  Lacey says she does not expect you idiots to know it but Boston was founded by American heroes.  Hard working and legitimately good people like her.  It is no wonder Tom Brady left this dump of a city.  Lacey says she accomplished more today than all of you have in an entire year.  Lacey says she sees the children asking their moms what have they accomplished.  I wake up, I work, and I win.  Y'all should get out a pen and paper and take notes.  There is no one in this building who can walk a mile in her boots because she is better than you.

Lacey says she wants the respect that she deserves.

Lacey hits Aliyah with the Women's Right.

Kayla Braxton is in the back with Jeff Jarrett.  

Kayla asks why was Jeff chosen as the referee.  Jeff says it is an honor to be guest referee.  The support has been overwhelming.  Everyone wants a piece of Double J.  Both teams have offered him the moon and he has turned it down.  This is the biggest tag match in SummerSlam history.  After all of the controversy, Pearce and upper management wants someone who will not be persuaded or blinded by the bright lights.  They want someone to call it down the middle.

Maxxine Dupri is with Mace and Mansoor.  She says her brother has good taste and you will see it next week for their beachwear collection.  

Next week, we are supposed to have Sheamus versus Drew McIntyre to see who faces the champion in Wales.  We will also see Lacey Evans face Aliyah.  The New Day will face the New Vicious Viking Raiders.
