WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: WHAT SIDE IS JIMMY ON?, JOHN CENA IS BACK FOR A WHILE, ANOTHER CHAMP IS BACK, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2023-09-01 21:57:00

We are back with a look at what just happened with Jimmy Uso, AJ Styles, and Solo Sikoa.

AJ is with Cathy and she asks him about what just happened.

AJ says the Bloodline thinks they run everything but they don't.  AJ says he is going to handle it.  He wants Solo tonight and he says he is going to knock Solo's teeth down his throat.

Karl and Luke show up and tell AJ not to worry about the Bloodline and Mia likes what AJ wants to do.  AJ wants to prove that this is the House that AJ Styles built.

Miz makes his way to the ring.

We see what Miz did on Raw to mock LA Knight.

Miz says tomorrow night LA Knight will be in the biggest match of his career.  It is not his fault, but it is a fact.  You saw how easy it was for him to be LA Knight on Raw.  He is not on his level.  He is not half the star that Miz is now, or was ten years ago.

LA Knight interrupts and he makes his way to the ring.

Knight says he wants to talk to you.  It was another Miz cosplay moment.  He has done The Rock, John Cena, and now LA Knight.  Do you know what those three have in common, in addition to you not being able to fill out their clothes.  They are people who you cannot be.  Knight says he pulled himself out of the sewer to get to this point.  He worked every dirty job he could.  He cashed his checks at the Pay Day Loan companies.  You could not live a day in his boots.  You got to walk in from a reality show.  I came from the bottom and got to where I am.  Knight says he has passed Miz and Miz is not on his level.

Miz says that Knight has failed where he has succeeded.  You were on a reality show and you were the first to get eliminated.  I got here in three years while it took you twenty. 

Knight says that Miz succeeded because he took advantage of every situation.  He says that Miz isn't the star of his own show.  You carry the bag that your wife carries your giblets in.  Knight tells Miz to send his wife his regards.  When he gives her a broken husband she will be empty inside.  One phone call can fix that real quick.

Miz says all of the years in that roach infested apartment cutting promos into your hairbrush has paid off.  These people love you and they relate to you.  People are failures.  They try, they fail and they settle for mediocrity.  You have had losses but you never gave up.  That gives you a chance to do something they could never do.  That is succeed.  You are going up against a Superstar who crushes the hopes and dreams of superstars.  This Saturday, he is not just Knight's opponent, he is a human time traveller.  You lose everything and you will go back to that roach infested apartment cutting promos into a mirror like it was 2003.

Knight says he didn't quit because he never learned how.  You live in the past.  Go as far away as you can because your present is trash and your future will get worse.  At Payback, you will get snuffed out and you will learn in the present and future whose game it is.

Miz misses a clothesline and Knight sets for a punch but Miz avoids it.  Miz with a shot to the throat and a Skull Crushing Finale.  

Miz tells Knight that is his future.

Knight chases after Miz in the aisle and he attacks Miz from behind.
