Josh "The Goods" Woods and "Filthy" Tom Lawlor battle the Street Profits in a rematch from a couple weeks ago, and the tandem of Ford and Dawkins was enough to put Woods away with a Spinebuster and Frog Splash combo, evening the score at 1 a piece.
NXT Women's Champion Kairi Sane beats Lakyn Machisma pretty easily, but afterwards, The Clink surround the champion and lay her out with the 3-on-1 beatdown as Baker, Belair, and Deville make their presence known in an even bigger way than last week.
In the main event of NXT, it's a war between Nick Aldis and Tommaso Ciampa, which Aldis barely survives with the MDD.

WWE is currently in their inaugural Cruiserweight Classic to determine a Cruiserweight Champion, hosting 64 of the hottest cruiserweight talents in the world. And the rumor is to build an entire division for WWE to use moving forward. It's unclear whether it will be on Raw, SmackDown, or NXT. With that said, WWE are already securing contracts with talents in hopes to use them either for their cruiserweight division or their developmental program.
Via social media and various sources, we have confirmed 12 different names from the tournament have signed on with WWE.
Now, we know Sammy Guevara has signed a deal with WWE, but it appears Kota Ibushi has not. Apparently, this went into the decision to have Ibushi lose to Trey Miguel as Ibushi looks prime to return to Japan.
More is expected to sign with WWE as the tournament concludes. It appears the company is waiting to sign, or at least announce, deals until they are finished in the Cruiserweight Classic. |

KICKOFF SHOW -
It's announced that the WWE Championship match between champion Triple H and challenger Dean Ambrose will be a No Holds Barred contest now, per Triple H's pull in the corporate office.
Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks
After their showdown in the 6-Pack Challenge on Friday, two of the top women wrestlers went head-to-head on the kickoff show to settle the score and it's Charlotte using Natural Selection to defeat Sasha.
 JUNE 3 2018 ~ NO MERCY (presented by SMACKDOWN!)No Mercy opens with Tom Phillips and Corey Graves welcoming the crowd and running down the card, headlined by the No Holds Barred match with Dean Ambrose and Triple H for the WWE Championship. Phillips and Graves advertise the Hardy Boyz final match being next, but Christian's music hits. WWE Universal Champion heads to the ring and takes offense that he is not the main event tonight, therefore, he's demanding he open the show. Christian protests in the ring before Kurt Angle heads out. Angle demands Christian to leave the ring before Shinsuke Nakamura's music hits. The crowd pops as the Raw superstar heads to the ring ready for action and we're starting with this match! Christian(c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Universal ChampionshipNakamura gives Christian a run for his money, and despite being from Raw, Nakamura has the crowd behind him until Christian tries to use his Universal Title to hit Nakamura with it and cause a DQ, but the official pries the belt from the champion and takes it over to the side. Behind the ref's back, Christian kicks Nakamura below the belt and hits the Killswitch to hook the leg and steal the victory.
Christian rolls out of the ring and snags the WWE Universal Championship from the timekeepers area as the official checks on Shinsuke Nakamura as Christian keeps both world titles with SmackDown.
Tye Dillinger and Tyler Breeze are interviewed by gorilla and say they can't wait to end this fairytale for The Hardy Boyz in their one last ride, saying they won't be a footnote in their story. Dillinger and Breeze make their entrance, and before they're about to go for their final match together, Matt and Jeff Hardy embrace each other for a moment backstage before coming up to a massive pop. The Hardy Boyz vs. Tye Dillinger & Tyler BreezeRaw's Matt Hardy had clearance to team with his brother Jeff for one last match and the Hardy Boyz are getting their usual moves for a cheap pop, while Dillinger and Breeze are trying to be cohesive enough to spoil the last match. However, experience trumps and things break down for Dillinger and Breeze while the Hardy Boyz gear up. Matt hits a Twist of Fate on Dillinger and Jeff Hardy goes up for a Swanton Bomb, but Breeze hits a Superkick on Matt before hopping up on the top rope and battling Jeff, but Jeff pushes Breeze off and on top of Dillinger. Hardy balances himself and hits a Swanton Bomb on two victims! Jeff pins the legal man Dillinger and secures a win.
As their music plays one last time together, Matt rolls in the ring and embraces Jeff Hardy and the crowd give a standing ovation for the last time we'll see The Hardy Boyz for some time, if ever.The Revival backstage acknowledge the Hardy Boyz and their swan song, but say their departure has been long overdue and it's time for the future. The Revival says the future looks like the only team with the throwback to true tag team wrestling. They claim they've had the division on lock since last year and are about to regain their titles and become 3-time WWE Tag Team Champions tonight. Cesaro vs. SheamusIt's Cesaro answering the call for Sheamus and this match hit hard. Wearing the two down, they claimed "Fight Forever" chants from the crowd and it appears Cesaro has it when he goes for the Swing, followed by a Sharpshooter, but Sheamus won't let Cesaro lock it in. Once they get up, they brawl a little longer before Cesaro goes for an Uppercut and a Neutralizer, but Sheamus pushes Cesaro away and gets up for the Brogue Kick and he blocks it, followed by a Very European Uppercut and finally hitting the Neutralizer for Cesaro to pin the Celtic Warrior.
Cesaro relaxes in the ring for a moment after a hard battle before exiting the ring, leaving Sheamus frustrated on the mat, just as in bad shape.
Renee Young catches up with Matt and Jeff Hardy as the Hardy Boyz one last time. They wish each other luck, hyping them up, and Matt says Jeff is going to be a future WWE or Universal Champion. Jeff says he'd say the same, except SmackDown has both titles, so he should go for the United States title. After they embrace with a hug, Matt heads off. Renee asks Jeff Hardy what's next, and he shrugs, knowing he'll need to keep an eye out on the rest of the matches tonight. Tessa Blanchard(c) vs. Nikki Cross for the Matrons ChampionshipTessa reminds people in a quicker match, around 6 minutes, that she is the best by using Magnum to retain her championship.Raw General Manager JBL is walking out with Shinsuke Nakamura and Matt Hardy who made the trip to No Mercy when Kurt Angle stops them. JBL tells Nakamura and Hardy to go ahead as he talks to Angle. JBL sarcastically says he hopes Angle's happy having both the WWE and Universal Champion on SmackDown. Angle just smirks and JBL tells Angle with no matter how many world champions, Raw has the superior roster and in 3 months time, Angle will be unemployed again. Angle just points him on his way toward the exit as JBL storms off. Depths of Despair(c) vs. The Revival for the WWE Tag Team ChampionshipsIn arguably one of the best tag team matches of the year, there were plenty of near falls including a Shatter Machine on Rezar but it's the Depths of Despair with a Super Collider that ends the match and they retain their titles.
Corey Graves points out The Revival poked holes in the Depths of Despair tonight, showing they are beatable, but at the end of the day they're still unstoppable.
In a split-screen, Triple H and Dean Ambrose are shown preparing for their main event tonight. The champion Triple H is taping his wrists up and Ambrose is shaking out any extra energy he has getting psyched up for tonight.
Neville(c) vs. Daniel Bryan for the Intercontinental ChampionshipFollowing the previous match up, they went all out on a wrestling clinic. Neville viciously targeted the neck area throughout the match, garnering boos from the crowd. Neville's reign was in jeopardy when he missed a Black Arrow attempt and Bryan countered with the Yes Lock. Neville panics and nearly taps, but has enough awareness to swing his leg behind him and scoot back to get his foot hooked on the ropes. Bryan tries to go for the Knee-Plus but Neville throws him into the corner instead and kicks Bryan hard with a side heel kick before pulling Bryan to the center and locking in the Rings of Saturn. The damage throughout the match took its toll and Bryan had no choice but to tap out.
The crowd can't believe Daniel Bryan tapped out, but he had no choice, as he lives to fight another day but Neville remains Intercontinental Champion.Tom Phillips and JBL remind everyone the next time SmackDown will be on PPV is the Great American Bash next month in Houston, Texas. Confirmed for Tuesday's SmackDown is Bayley against Peyton Royce while Sami Zayn goes one-on-one with The Miz. But up next is the main event, a No Holds Barred for the title. Triple H(c) vs. Dean Ambrose for the WWE Championship in a No Holds Barred MatchDean Ambrose started this match crazed for the title while going for anything he could find to hit Triple H with, and as he comes back with a lead pipe, Triple H had peeled off the mat from the floor and hit a back-body drop as Ambrose smacks the floor. Triple H turns the tide from here and wears down Ambrose, showing him how a No Holds Barred match is done, and even splits Ambrose open with throwing him head-first into the ring post. Triple H continues the beatdown and tore the top part of the steps off and goes for a Pedigree, but Ambrose counters into Dirty Deeds! Ambrose goes for the cover there, but it's not Falls Count Anywhere. Several moments pass and Triple H finds a reprieve and gets the Sledgehammer in the ring, but he can't use it when Ambrose smacks him in the gut with a steel chair and in the back. Ambrose goes for Dirty Deeds on the chair, but Triple H counters and hits a Spinebuster on the chair, only garnering two. Moments pass and Dean Ambrose decides to introduce a table. Ambrose sets it up in the corner before he turns around and Triple H picks Ambrose up and rams him through the table. Triple H grabs the Sledgehammer again and smacks Ambrose with it, leading to Ambrose falling through the ring and to the floor. Triple H goes to the outside and picks Ambrose up before Ambrose snaps and hits the Dirty Deeds on the same floor he was dropped on earlier in the match. Ambrose goes and finds a black bag, rolls in the ring, and lays thumbtacks by the corner. Ambrose goes outside to get Triple H, pushes him up on the apron and Ambrose tries suplexing Triple H from the apron to the tacks, but Triple H pushes Ambrose off into the tacks himself!
As the match draws towards a close, Triple H decides he's done. Triple H brings the lower part of the steps in the ring and brings Ambrose up for a Pedigree, but Ambrose counters and hits a Dirty Deeds! Triple H falls lifelessly next to the steps and a bloody Ambrose makes the cover.
Dean Ambrose has done it! The Lunatic Fringe is the new WWE Champion! The crowd goes crazy for Ambrose as he wins the WWE Championship for the first time in his career. Ambrose gets up and celebrates with the title and tacks in his back. Ambrose gets out and hugs some fans before jumping back in the ring and standing on the same steps Triple H met his demise. Ambrose holds the WWE Championship high in the air before he takes a knee on those steps to catch his breath when he's hit in the back of the head... with the Money in the Bank briefcase! It's Kevin Owens from Raw! Owens doesn't waste any time before picking Ambrose up and hitting a Pop-up Powerbomb on the bottom part of those steps. Ambrose's back hits hard and Owens looks at the ref and gives him the briefcase to ring the bell... we have a match.Dean Ambrose(c) vs. Kevin Owens for the WWE ChampionshipIt's official, Kevin Owens has cashed in the briefcase and as soon as the bell rings, Owens covers Ambrose and... AMBROSE KICKS OUT! The crowd goes nuts as Ambrose still has life. Owens then picks Ambrose up and as the official scoots the steps away, Owens hits a Package Piledriver on Ambrose before mocking the crowd, and picking Ambrose up for a second Pop-up Powerbomb. Owens makes the cover and that's all she wrote.
Tom Phillips damns Kevin Owens as the Raw superstar has cashed in the briefcase and takes the WWE Championship from SmackDown. Raw General Manager JBL heads down applauding as Kevin Owens is handed the title and shoves it in the faces of the fans in the arena and watching at home. JBL hugs Kevin Owens, though a little blood from Ambrose is smeared on the new champion, and they celebrate as JBL's plan has worked. Raw has a world champion and his name is Kevin Owens, while Ambrose's first ever reign as WWE Champion is gone as quick as it started. |

 JUNE 4 2018 ~ MONDAY NIGHT RAWCarlito's Cabana starts Raw tonight and before he can introduce the new WWE Champion, the General Manager interrupts. JBL tells Carlito he'll introduce him, and introduces Kevin Owens as the "Savior of Monday Night Raw" and the "true face of Raw" and the champion comes out in his typical attire. Owens makes a comment he tried the suit on, and it just didn't work for him. Carlito begins to ask Kevin Owens a question, when Owens grabs the mic from Carlito and tells him to sit down. Owens demands he get applause for his heroic efforts last night, bashing Ambrose's head in, and saving Monday Night Raw. Owens gets booed while JBL says Owens did something Shinsuke Nakamura couldn't, and therefore, Nakamura is not the face of Raw, and on top of that, will not be on Raw for the foreseeable future. The fans continue to boo when Carlito grabs a third mic and tells them to quit, it's his show, and the fans are already tired of hearing Owens. Carlito gets a pop he hasn't heard in a while, and Carlito says Kevin's acts weren't heroic, they were cowardly, attacking a man from behind after a No Holds Barred match. JBL tells Carlito to shut his mouth and he also needs to applaud Owens because without him, Carlito would have to settle for the United States Championship. Carlito asks why JBL is out there, and JBL responds by making an announcement. JBL says Extreme Rules is three weeks away and he made calls last week to secure a devastating structure: the Elimination Chamber. Kevin's eyes get wide, and JBL tells Owens not to worry. This match will be for the privilege to face Kevin Owens for the WWE Championship. Owens breathes a sigh of relief and Carlito calls him out for being scared. Owens refutes it, and after thinking about it, Carlito asks Owens what he'll be doing that night. JBL chimes in and says Owens will compete in a standard one-on-one match that evening. Carlito brings up he's never held the WWE Championship. The crowd pops and Owens and JBL immediately say no and say this is over, leaving the ring. JBL calls for people to clear the ring, and Carlito asks if Owens would be a coward just like last night. Owens looks back and tells JBL to make a match tonight: Kevin Owens versus Carlito. JBL accepts Kevin's request and makes it official for tonight. Coming back from the commercial break, Michael Cole and Paul Heyman receive a set of qualifying matches for the Elimination Chamber match. Baron Corbin versus Bobby Lashley, Cody Rhodes versus Dolph Ziggler, and Emperor Roman Reigns versus Matt Hardy are all on tap for tonight. But up next, Murphy heads out for the chance to qualify. Murphy vs. Randy Orton in an Elimination Chamber QualifierMurphy has a big test in his way to the Elimination Chamber match, and after an impressive showing, it only took an RKO Outta Nowhere to put Murphy down for the count and have Orton be the first person to qualify for this Elimination Chamber match at Extreme Rules.
Charly Caruso asks Rubi Riot about Becky Lynch's title opportunity tonight after Paige passed her by, and Riot says she's hurt by it, but not surprised. Paige is on the run, but the Anti-Diva can't run forever. Emperor Roman Reigns vs. Matt Hardy in an Elimination Chamber Qualifier24 hours after teaming as the Hardy Boyz for the final time, Matt wrestled The Emperor and it was a rough outing. Reigns had rest and looked like a million bucks, beating Hardy down easily and qualifying for the Elimination Chamber with a Spear.
Finn Balor marches into JBL's office and mentions Murphy getting an Elimination Chamber qualifying match, but he pinned Murphy last week, so he just is wondering where his contest is. JBL says Balor should've gotten the memo, because he does have a match... against Luke Harper. JBL wishes Balor luck, because just by the size difference, he'll need it. Santana & Ortiz w/Alberto Del Rio vs. The UsosIn a first time ever contest, they stole the show. The four were absolutely insane and Del Rio's eyes widened at moments. The Usos went for a Double Uce Splash as they look to secure the win, but Del Rio has his first involvement in the match by hopping on the apron and Jimmy Uso clotheslines Del Rio off it and both fall to the floor. Jey, distracted by this, gets hit by Santana, and gets Ortiz up for them to hit Street Sweeper and pin Jey before Jimmy can get back to break it up.
After the match, Alberto Del Rio gets in the ring and grabs a mic. Del Rio finally names their team as "The Aristocrat Cartel." The three men signal for the titles, calling out The New Day.Cody Rhodes is asked by Charly Caruso about his qualifier tonight, and Cody mentions he's always wanted to become WWE Champion to make his father proud. Cody laughs that the person standing in his way is the one who he's went to hell fighting against, Kevin Owens. Cody says if he has to get through the Elimination Chamber to get to Kevin Owens to kick his ass one more time, AND win the WWE Championship, he'll do it. Cody's interrupted by Dolph Ziggler, who says he shouldn't be overlooked. Ziggler says he's climbed the mountain top before, as a former World Heavyweight Champion who cashed in Money in the Bank. Ziggler says it'll be him tonight winning and moving on to Extreme Rules. Advertised by Michael Cole and Paul Heyman, still to come: Cody Rhodes versus Dolph Ziggler in a qualifier, Baron Corbin versus Bobby Lashley in a qualifier, a Women's Championship match between Paige and Becky Lynch, along with the newly crowned WWE Champion Kevin Owens facing Carlito in the main event. But up next, Finn Balor tries to qualify against Luke Harper. Finn Balor vs. Luke Harper in an Elimination Chamber QualifierHarper struggles to keep up with Balor and looks a little sluggish compared to the former Intercontinental Champion, resulting in Balor hitting the slingblade, corner dropkick, and Coup de Grace sequence to earn a spot in the qualifier in under 6 minutes.
A voice is heard, saying he's been on a search for over a year. A search for himself, a search for friends, a search for family, and a search for infinite power. Viktor appears from the shadows, the first time on a WWE screen since April 2017. Viktor says on this search, he's found a hidden treasure and he can't wait to share it with the world. Coming to the ring is Becky Lynch for her Women's Championship opportunity, but she's attacked from behind by a lead pipe to the back of the head. Rubi Riot's opened Lynch up! Riot then takes the pipe to the knee after already busting the back of Becky's head open and officials rush to pull Rubi Riot away while doctors immediately tend to Lynch. Riot shouts to the camera for Paige to "give her what she wants" and she's just waiting on the champion going into a commercial. After the commercial, Michael Cole and Paul Heyman recap on what just happened. They say Becky Lynch is being tended to backstage at this time and will keep the audience updated. Baron Corbin vs. Bobby Lashley in an Elimination Chamber QualifierCorbin, one of the fastest rising stars, has a contest against the reigning United States Champion who claims he's still the face of Raw. Corbin and Lashley battle until Lashley attempts a Spear and Corbin raises his boot that catches Lashley in the face, and Corbin hits a Deep-Six followed by an End of Days that secures him a spot in the Elimination Chamber.
An update on Becky Lynch, she will be transported to a local hospital for stitches following the attack by Rubi Riot. Cody Rhodes vs. Dolph Ziggler in an Elimination Chamber QualifierRhodes and Ziggler battle for a title that's eluded them their entire WWE careers, the WWE Championship. After a couple near-falls following Cross Rhodes, but Ziggler gets his foot on the rope, and a Zig-Zag that Rhodes kicks out of 2.9... it's Cody trying for a Disaster Kick and Ziggler counters with the Zig-Zag! Dolph goes for the cover but Cody rolls out of the ring. Ziggler chases Rhodes down and throws him back in before pulling Cody up for another Zig-Zag, when Cody counters with a Disaster Kick and follows up with Cross Rhodes to win the match and a spot in the Elimination Chamber!
As Paul Heyman and Michael Cole recap the night's qualifying matches, they notice one spot is left unfulfilled. They speculate on who could fill this potential spot, and it perhaps will be known next week. The New Day will be at Raw and two veterans of the ring face off, Nikki Bella against Mickie James. Carlito heads to the ring and is set for action when JBL comes out and regrets to inform Carlito and the WWE Universe that Kevin Owens had an emergency and left the arena, therefore will not be showing up tonight. JBL wishes the fans a safe drive back, when Carlito is infuriated but he's blindsided with a kick to the back of the head. It's Rusev! Being led by Lana, Rusev steps on Carlito's back and locks in The Accolade. The official gets Rusev off Carlito, who holds his back, and JBL has the bright idea to replace the WWE Champion with Rusev. Carlito vs. Rusev w/LanaWith a main event we never thought we would see, Carlito was trying to hold his own against Rusev, but Rusev's pre-match attack was a lot for Carlito to overcome. Rusev then went for The Accolade once more, stepping on Carlito's back, and straddles Carlito's body. Carlito slides out the back, and as Rusev looks around, he stands up and gets hit with a Backstabber! Carlito quickly hooks the leg and Rusev kicks out, but not in time!
Carlito's music hits as he rolls out of the ring excited for himself, picking up a big win for momentum. Carlito goes over to the timekeeper area for a microphone. Carlito sends a message to Kevin Owens that he is challenging Owens to a 1-on-1 match next week on Raw! This challenge is how we end tonight's episode. |

 JUNE 5 2018 ~ TUESDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!
SmackDown begins showing pictures of Sunday's No Mercy event, one that finished with Raw's Kevin Owens taking the WWE Championship from a newly crowned Dean Ambrose and the blue brand. Ambrose begins tonight's show by reflecting on his entire career, one that went from the independent scene, to FCW, to The Shield, to being the first ever WWE Universal Champion, and taken as SmackDown's first pick and expected to carry the flag. Ambrose says winning the WWE Championship for the first time was a climatic moment to come to a screeching halt, and after Kevin Owens screwed him, he wants that feeling back. Christian interrupts and the reigning WWE Universal Champion laughs at Ambrose losing the title as quickly as he got it, while he reigns and is still the WWE Universal Champion. Ambrose reminds Christian who won in their 1-on-1 match last week and as he was the first ever one to hold that title, he wants to do it again, challenging Christian to a title match tonight! The crowd pops and Christian denies, saying the word around the locker room is Ambrose isn't cleared to compete after Sunday, pointing to the patch on Ambrose's forehead. Christian waves Ambrose bye and says it'll have to be another time before Ambrose pulls Christian back in and goes for Dirty Deeds, but Christian finesses his way out of it and out the ring! Christian forgot his title as Ambrose picks it up and raises it to a pop from the crowd, sending a message that Ambrose is in the title hunt. Headed into the commercial, Phillips and Graves remind the audience of the matches announced on Sunday, Bayley versus Peyton Royce as well as Sami Zayn versus The Miz. But up next, Jeff Hardy faces the self-proclaimed "Silver Medalist" Michael Bennett. Jeff Hardy vs. Michael Bennett w/MariaBennett is humbled fairly quickly by Jeff Hardy, looking to resume his singles career after The Hardy Boyz had their final match at No Mercy and Hardy wins with a Twist of Fate followed up by a Swanton Bomb.
After the match, Jeff Hardy gets the microphone and says he was asked what his next move would be in this stage of his career. Hardy says there's a man on his mind, and it's Neville. Hardy has won the Intercontinental Championship five times and says he knows what it takes to be the Intercontinental Champion, and so he challenges Neville for the title with hopes of winning the title a sixth time.In Kurt Angle's office, Cesaro pops in. Angle congratulates Cesaro on his win over Sheamus this past Sunday and Cesaro says he won't waste much of his time. Cesaro says if Ambrose isn't cleared to compete tonight, he wants Christian tonight. Angle's eyes widen and says he's got the match! Sami Zayn vs. The MizZayn and The Miz out to prove themselves in this new regime of SmackDown, but it's Zayn missing a Helluva Kick as Miz moves out of the way and uses Zayn caught in the ropes to wrap his hands behind his neck, pull him away and hit a Skull Crushing Finale for a clean win over Sami.Peyton Royce is stretching for her match tonight against Bayley when her opponent comes by. Royce gets in a fighting stance before Bayley tells Royce to relax. Bayley says them two are overlooked, so she encourages Royce to put on a show tonight. Bayley gives an uncomfortable Royce a hug and departs. Dana Brooke vs. NaomiTom Phillips makes the case of overlooked in the women's division, Dana Brooke and Naomi fit the bill as well. However, moments in their match, Charlotte attacked both and ended the match in a no contest.
Charlotte laid out both women, including hitting Natural Selection on Dana Brooke and locking in the Figure 8 on Naomi. As a couple officials came out to help break the hold, Charlotte got up with a sly grin. Charlotte demands a microphone and she goes on to say this is a message to one person, and they know who they are, before she drops the mic and walks to the back.
Bray Wyatt airs another vignette with Erick Rowan at an abandoned cabin in the woods. Wyatt shines a light in the cabin as cockroaches appear and Rowan is instructed to stomp on them and he drops an elbow at one point in the pile of cockroaches. Rowan drops one by one victims into a fishing bowl like container. Wyatt explains he's creating a monster capable of exterminating WWE of everything detestable. Depths of Despair vs. The Vaudevillians in a non-title matchThis tag team match goes rather quickly as the reigning WWE Tag Team Champions end things with a Super Collider.
Kurt Angle is in his office when Jason Jordan comes by, asking the reason for his summoning. Angle tells Jordan that he drafted both he and Gable because he believes in them, but while Chad Gable is away right now, he wants Jordan to focus on himself. Angle says he sees a lot of himself in Jordan and wants him to reach his potential, meaning he'll put Jordan in a match next week against former world champion Daniel Bryan. Jordan says he appreciates that and won't let him down. Bayley vs. Peyton RoyceBayley and Royce battle for nearly 15 minutes and after proving themselves viable competitors on SmackDown, Bayley catches Royce with a Bayley-to-Belly and wins the match.
After the match, Bayley awaits for Peyton Royce to get up and she shakes Royce's hand in the ring followed by a hug showing their appreciation for one another.Intercontinental Champion Neville takes the screen and answers Jeff Hardy's challenge from earlier tonight. He calls Hardy ignorant and past his time, saying this is his first reign and he won't let go anytime soon, but he's open to passing Hardy out to the Rings of Saturn next week. Neville accepts! Advertised for next week is the Intercontinental Championship match just made official, along with Jason Jordan fighting Daniel Bryan. Also, Kurt Angle announces that if Dean Ambrose is cleared for competition, he'll challenge Christian for the WWE Universal Championship next week! Christian vs. Cesaro in a non-title matchChristian gets beat red by Cesaro this match, coming off a big win over Sheamus this Sunday, and Cesaro is staking his claim for the title. Christian tries hitting the Killswitch but gets a snap-suplex instead and Cesaro gains steam before he has Christian in the Neutralizer and Christian drops to a knee and low-blows Cesaro, causing the bell for a disqualification.
The fans boo and Christian rolls out quickly as Cesaro drops to the mat. Christian gets his title from the timekeepers area and heads up the ramp, avoiding disaster. As Christian backs up, the crowd pops as Dean Ambrose comes from behind and ready to pounce. Christian senses it as he turns around into a fist. Ambrose punches Christian down the ramp and into the ring where he's met by an uppercut by Cesaro, and he turns around into a Dirty Deeds by Ambrose, one he avoided earlier in the night. Ambrose's music hits as he hypes up the crowd and Cesaro continues catching his breath as SmackDown goes off the air. |

JUNE 11 2018 ~ MONDAY NIGHT RAW Carlito begins tonight demanding a 1-v-1 match against WWE Champion Kevin Owens right now.

JUNE 12 2018 ~ TUESDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN!
SmackDown starts with WWE Universal Champion Christian informing fans Dean Ambrose is still not cleared for competition, therefore won't be getting a title match tonight nor will he be at the arena this evening. Christian brings up the theory Ambrose is just all talk and no action before Cesaro interrupts. Cesaro says if the champion hadn't weaseled his way out, he would've lost to the Swiss Superman last week. Cesaro issues a rematch and Christian laughs before Kurt Angle's music hits. The General Manager steps out to the stage announcing Christian versus Cesaro in a rematch later tonight. Neville(c) vs. Jeff Hardy for the Intercontinental ChampionshipNeville dominated this match but Hardy kept fighting off Neville and fighting for a chance to win the title for a sixth time of his career. Hardy gets going and Neville tries locking in the Rings of Saturn, but Hardy pushes off to a pin attempt and Neville gets out of that predicament quickly. Hardy creates a flurry of offense and hits a Twist of Fate! The crowd rises as Hardy is ready to hit a Swanton Bomb and he goes to the apron before Breeze pops up on the apron. Hardy punches Breeze off but gets clipped from behind by Tye Dillinger, hitting the apron hard and falling to the ground, causing for the bell.
Tye Dillinger stomps away at Jeff Hardy on the outside as Breeze recovers and they throw Hardy into the ring post and then back in the ring. Neville doesn't know what to do, so he walks away before Dillinger picks Hardy up and throws him into a Beauty Shot by Breeze. Dillinger and Breeze stand tall together after ruining this Intercontinental Championship match.Christian barges into Kurt Angle's office upset about the match made tonight. Angle smirks and says he forgot to add a stipulation: it's no disqualification. Angle says he'll have a winner by the end of the show. Tessa Blanchard vs. Nikki Cross in a non-title matchAs a non-title rematch from No Mercy, Blanchard double-downed on proving who was better by finishing Cross off with Magnum.
After the match concluded, Tessa's music was cut in favor of Charlotte's. Charlotte heads to the ring, confronting Blanchard, and points to the title on Tessa's shoulder. Blanchard looks out to the crowd before nodding when Bayley's music interrupts. Bayley uses the microphone to say she is being overlooked, and after a good showing against Peyton Royce last week, she has just as much of a claim to the title match as anyone else. Tessa backs up as Charlotte gets in Bayley's face and The Queen snatches the mic from her before telling her to prove it against her right now. Bayley doesn't waste any time, being close enough to wrap her arms around Charlotte and hitting a Bayley-to-Belly where the momentum rolls Charlotte out of the ring. Charlotte collects herself as we have a match starting right now.Bayley vs. Charlotte in a #1 Contender's MatchFrom the office of Kurt Angle it's confirmed this match will determine the #1 contender for Tessa's title at the Great American Bash next month, so Blanchard joined the commentary team in the press box. Bayley and Charlotte battle for nearly twenty minutes tonight and it's several near falls, including Charlotte barely kicking out of the Bayley-to-Belly on instinct alone. But it's Bayley going for a third of the night, but Charlotte creates space and delivers a big boot, followed with a Natural Selection and pins Charlotte in the ring.
Tessa Blanchard looks down at her new challenger as Charlotte points up to the press box and signals a title around her waist with the first match for the Great American Bash confirmed.
Bray Wyatt airs another vignette with Erick Rowan as Rowan drags coffins through the woods. The time lapse shows Rowan transporting these coffins by himself and all into a pile. Wyatt says he's creating a monster that will get rid of the dead weight, and those we have no use for, can be set to the flames. Rowan dowses the coffins in gasoline and Wyatt tosses a lit match onto the pile as we watch the burn pile of coffins go up in flames. Daniel Bryan vs. Jason JordanBryan and Jordan have a mat classic this match and they go toe-to-toe for the most part. However, the match ends with Bryan trapping Jordan in a Yes Lock and after Jordan tries to counter into a pin, Bryan adjusts and executes a crucifix pin that Jordan barely gets out of. Jordan then goes for a lariat that is ducked and Bryan bounces back from the ropes with a Knee-Plus! Bryan hooks the leg and beats Jordan.
As Daniel Bryan celebrates he turns around and sees Jordan on a knee. The music cuts and Bryan helps Jason Jordan to his feet and after a moment, Jordan accepts Bryan's handshake in the ring and they embrace with a hug as Jordan goes to raise Bryan's hand, but Bryan defers and raises Jordan's hand instead.
Renee Young catches Tyler Breeze and Tye Dillinger backstage, trying to get answers for their attack on Jeff Hardy earlier tonight. Dillinger answers that on Sunday, the better tag team didn't win, but they can't do anything about that. Breeze says he and Dillinger make a good team, and they're going to be sticking to it. They're both named Tyler (Tye corrects him that it's Tye) and they're both from Canada, they despise the United States, and most of all, they despise Jeff Hardy. Dillinger says he forgot they're two of the best young talents in WWE today. Dillinger says the message was sent to the entire locker room tonight. Carmella vs. Peyton RoyceAfter Peyton Royce's impressive performance against Bayley last week, she falls to the Code of Silence this week against Carmella.
Jason Jordan gets several handshakes from people in the back, and his opponent from earlier Daniel Bryan approaches him. Bryan says he wrestled Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 33 in a dream match, and while he came away from it with a win, he knew he had survived in a past versus present match. Bryan tells Jordan he sees a lot of potential in him, and he's the future of the business. Kurt Angle then heads up and shakes Jason Jordan's hand and tells him he went toe-to-toe with one of the best of today. Angle says he can keep the momentum going next week against the man in the main event tonight, Cesaro. Jordan takes a deep breath when Angle and Bryan make him aware he's more than capable and wish him luck. Advertised for next week is the match just made for next week, Jason Jordan going one-on-one with Cesaro. Plus, Tye Dillinger and Tyler Breeze issue an open challenge. Christian vs. Cesaro in a non-title No Disqualification matchChristian got himself into a mess as Cesaro was going to town on Christian, who can't run from Cesaro. Cesaro even swings Christian outside the ring and stepped over and hit Christian on the side of the steps. Cesaro had a Sharpshooter in the center of the ring on Christian, who managed to climb over to the ropes, but there's no rope break so Cesaro continued holding on until Christian crawled out of the ring, breaking the hold. Cesaro takes a breath and throws Christian into the barricade before grabbing him and throwing him back in the ring. Cesaro does another swing before dropping Christian and cracking his neck. Cesaro gets ready before he instinctively turns and gets a Brogue Kick by Sheamus! Sheamus hovers over Cesaro before picking Cesaro up and hitting the High Cross, landing Cesaro right next to the WWE Universal Champion who just crawls and lays an arm over Cesaro and this counts three.
Christian's music hits as Sheamus taunts Cesaro from above and the Celtic Warrior sweeps Cesaro to the edge of the ring and to the floor before leaving. The WWE Universal Champion stands to his feet and gets his title, raising it high in the air before he's interrupted by Dean Ambrose on the titantron. Ambrose tells Christian he feels just fine, and he goes to the doctors this Friday and expects to be cleared. Ambrose says whether or not, he'll see Christian next week for the WWE Universal Championship. Christian shakes his head, but Ambrose adds if he doesn't see him sooner. Christian squints before the crowd pops and Ambrose slides in underneath! Ambrose turns Christian over and drops him with the Dirty Deeds! Ambrose stands up and gets the crowd riled up before picking the title belt up and hanging it high as SmackDown goes off the air. |
