WWE Smackdown Recap (13th June 2017)


We start the show with New Day being played to the ring by a live band. Nice touch. They talk, the Usos talk, so do Fashion Police and the Colons. Nothing of worth was said.

New Day & Fashion Police vs Usos & Colons - Decent match to open the show. The New Day got the win to give them some momentum heading into the PPV. 

We get another reminder that John Cena, the free agent, will return on July 4th.

Styles and Nakamura have a chat backstage. PCP Crazy Sami turns up and manically talks strategy. Nakamura likes his style. 

Mojo is interviewed about losing to Jinder last week. He is gutted. Zack Ryder turns up to say they have unfinished business as a team.

Naomi vs Tamina - This was a non-title match, which Naomi won for once. Tamina is not a good singles wrestler and this was a poor match.

Jinder is out to run down Orton. He says he will prove Orton is a coward and destroy his legacy. Orton sneaks in and hits a sweet looking RKO. It was a decent segment.

Owens, Corbin & Ziggler are in the locker room discussing how even though they dislike each other they would be better off working together for now.

Renee interviews Orton, he once again says the talking is over.

Charlotte Flair vs Natalya - Decent match. The finish didn't really seem to have any build but it's a TV match so not a big deal.

We get a new Fashion Files. Their office has been trashed and Breeze is down. Fandango draws a picture of the perps (a stick figure) and Breeze says that was who attacked him.

Lana says she gives zero fucks what people think of her. She will win the title.

Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles & Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens, Baron Corbin & Dolph Ziggler - It's the typical WWE chuck everyone together main event. This was a good match though, better than the previous matches between these wrestlers. Sami picked up the win for the faces when he once again pinned Corbin. 

After the match the heels beat down the faces with ladders and then turn on each other. Corbin stands tall before being destroyed by Nakamura.


Thoughts

Not a great deal happened in this show but it was much better than Raw. The main event was a nice build to MITB.
