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

We are in Tampa, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

Sasha Banks makes her way to the ring.

Sasha says hello to Tampa and she says the boss is back and it is Boss Time on Smackdown.  As Sasha Banks, I came back for my spotlight that I deserve.  I am back for my spotlight that I created.  I will never let anyone steal my spotlight again.

We have a video package for what happened when Sasha returned last week.

Sasha says she exposed Bianca Belair last week and it was so easy.  She was watching Bianca make mistake after mistake.  I decided to make a statement and rescue our women's champion.  Bianca would be nothing without her.  There would be no ESPY Awards.  There would be no chilling with Meghan Thee Stallion.  There would be no main event at Wrestlemania.  Bianca was crying because she was stepping across the ring from the greatest.  Bianca had to dis her.  There was no gratitude.  

While I was sitting at home, I was thinking about the disrespect week after week.  I came back for only one thing.  To make Bianca pay.  

Bianca's music interrupts and she makes her way to the ring.

Bianca asks Sasha if she thinks that Bianca is nothing without her?  The last time she checked, you were begging her to choose her at the Royal Rumble to main event Wrestlemania and make history together.  You don't want me to shine.  I have been shining and representing.

Bianca enters the ring and Sasha goes to the floor.

Bianca asks where is Sasha going.  Is it something that she said.  Are you going to take another four months off?

Sasha says she can do what she wants when she wants.

Bianca says that Sasha is one of the greatEST to lace up the boots.  if you want this . . . it's on.

Zeiina Vega comes out and she says this is not happening right now.  Bianca, is that ugly little braid tied too tight.  Are you lost?  Last week . . . 

Bianca tells Zelina not to enter the ring.  

Zelina says she will stay on the apron.  She says before Sasha swooped in like the ratchet little vulture, you accepted my challenge.  What do you want to do?

Sasha asks Bianca what is she going to do?

Bianca says Zelina wasn't talking to Sasha, she was talking to her because she is the champ.

Bianca says she will see Sasha at SummerSlam.  She tells Zelina that she didn't forget about the challenge so she will fight her tonight.

Rey asks Dominik why did he challenge Jey to a match tonight and Dominik says he is trying to get into Jey's head.  Rey says that since they have the tag title match for SummerSlam, they need to be more strategic.  He says they cannot afford a loss before SummerSlam.  He says he wants the titles back.  Dominik says he will not let Rey down and he tells Rey that he doesn't need his help tonight.

Match Number One:  Jey Uso (with Jimmy Uso) versus Dominik Mysterio (with Rey Mysterio)

We take a look at Seth Rollins attacking Edge last week on Smackdown.

Edge is walking in the back and Megan ambushes Edge.

Edge calls Seth a rotten bastard.  Edge brings up what Seth said last week.  He says this goes back further than the last few weeks.  He tells Seth to come to the ring when he gets here.

After the match, Nakamura kicks Azeez and sends Crews into Azeez on the apron.

Kayla Braxton is waiting to talk to Roman Regins' door.

We take a look at last week's contract 'signing' segment.

We return to Roman's door and Paul emerges to yell at Kayla.  

Paul wants to know what she wants.

Kayla says she was hoping to see if Roman had any comments about what happened last week.

Paul says he is asking if Kayla means last week's contract signing where John Cena is thieving air on the Island of Relevance and now he is thieving a match at SummerSlam.

Paul asks if he hits Tom Brady from behind and signs his contract for $75 million, does he get the $75 million?  This contract is a joke.  The claim that John Cena should face Roman Reigns is baseless.  WWE is enabling John Cena to slide into a match that he does not deserve.  Roman Reigns has nothing to say about John Cena or to Kayla.

Big E shows up with his briefcase and he laughs.

Paul backs up into Roman's locker room carefully.

We go to commercial.

Match Number Three:  Tamina versus Tegan Nox (with Shotzi Blackheart)

Winner:  Tegan Nox

Zelina shows up in Adam and Sonya's office and she wants to know that her title match is next.  Adam says that they cannot do a title match without promotion.  Zelina wants to know when she gets a match.  Sonya says that the contract has not been signed yet and Bianca does not make matches.  Adam tells Zelina to earn her way into a title match.  Sonya says if she does well, she will face the winner of the match at SummerSlam.

Zelina says she knows she can beat Sasha but she will prove that she can beat Bianca.

Edge makes his way to the ring.

We go to commercial.
