WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: WOMEN'S TITLE MATCH, TROUBLE ALREADY WITH THE HURT PROFITS?, WE HAVE A MAIN EVENT FOR FASTLANE?, AND MORE

Your announcers are Michael Cole, Corey Graves, and Kevin Patrick.

John Cena makes his way to the ring.

John welcomes everyone to a sold out Smackdown.  He says he needed to come out to start this show since you allowed him to come home, you have allowed him to do a lot.  He has been a talk show guest, a host, a backstage interviewer, a referee, and then he gives up because he has been outwhated.   John says he has been to Hershey, Pittsburgh, Denver, and all of those shows were sold out, but not like tonight.  John says tonight is a special night because he doesn't want to be no ref, no host, no backstage correspondent.  John says he came back to compete and tonight is the night he would like to have a match.

John asks the crowd for their permission to have a match tonight.  They seem to want to see John wrestle.  John says he is more than excited.  He is also angry . . . at the Bloodline.  He says he is angry enough to fight both of them by himself, but as luck would have it, he has found a partner.  Someone who is just as angry as him.  He found a Phenomenal partner.

AJ Styles makes his way to the ring.  

AJ takes the mic and he wants to get this straight.  You want AJ Styles and John Cena versus The Bloodline?  AJ tells the Bloodline if you want some, come get some.

Jimmy Uso's music plays and he makes his way to the ring with Solo Sikoa.

They get on the apron and then Jimmy goes back to the floor while Solo stays on the apron.  Solo goes to the floor and start to walk to the back.
