Here The WWE Friday Night Smackdown Full Matches And Results With Short Review:
– John Cena makes his way to the ring with huge pop from fans. We get the video of John Cena challenging Roman Reigns for Universal Championship at Summer Slam but Reigns denied his challenge last week and accepts Finn Balor’s challenge. John Cena says it’s a interesting video and also responds to his comments to find the intresting partner for two decades.
Cena hyped the crowd and says tonight Roman Reigns and Finn Balor will sign Summer Slam contract and fans boo. Cena says that’s only half bad, much respect for Balor, but it only proves his point that Reigns absolutely sucks. Cena says he has no problem with rejection, he has been rejected infront of the world and we were there, it wasn’t pretty. That was a reference to WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Bella.
Cena says Roman Reigns rejected him because he returned with the same look and music, among other things, and that is so stupid, like asking WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin to come back to “Sasquatch” Steve Houston, or The Rock coming back to WWE as Dwayne “Too Small” Johnson. Cena says it’s ridiculous, it’s not who those guys are, they believe who they are and so do the fans.
John Cena further says Roman Reigns has to change for every two years because fans stop caring about him because they didn’t believe in him because Reigns didn’t believe in himself. Cena says Reigns is nothing more than a lazy stooge named Joe, who coasts by on every gimmick in the system. Cena takes few more shots at Roman Reigns and says he’s afraid to fail.
Cena further says Reigns didn’t reject him because of how he looks, but because of how he would’ve made Reigns look. Now, Baron Corbin came out interrupting Cena. Cena says he has no idea who Corbin is and later recognizes him and says he looks horrible. Corbin agrees and says he’s in bad way. He continues that he and Cena have never been close but Corbin is desperate and desperate men do desperate things.
Corbin says his life is falling apart he’s lost everything, his car, house and crown, someone stole his identity and his credit is trash. Last week he suffered an injury to a very sensitive part of his body and now he’s unable to surf the internet, Cena asks? Eat breakfast cereal? No, Corbin says he’s unable to perform. Cena jokes about exactly how Corbin is unable to perform. Corbin says because of that, his wife left and took the kids.
Corbin futher says he saw John Cena granting wishes to many people and he wondered if Cena can help him. Then, Cena asks fans if he should help Corbin, he got the mixed reactions from fans. Cena asks again and it looks like no. Cena gives Corbin what looks like a dollar bill or two. Corbin says this is it? Corbin says it doesn’t have to be money, he will work for it. Corbin asks Cena to put him on Suicide Squad movie, Cena says that filming I’d over. Then, Corbin asks about sequel or being Cena’s stunt double.
Cena says that’s a bit of a reach. Then, Corbin asks if Cena is going to kick a poor man while he’s down. Corbin futher says Cena really is a selfish, self-absorbed tight-wad, with an ego the size of California. Corbin says Cena a Hollywood sell-out. Cena says he will help Corbin with something he desperately needs an Attitude Adjustment. Then, Cena delivered an AA to Corbin in the middle of the ring as fans pop. Cena makes his exit as the music hits.

Carmella enters the ring and makes excuses for her loss at Rolling Loud. Music hits, here comes Zelina Vega.

Vega says what she wants to say to Belair, she will say it in her face and enters the ring. Vega says fans wants to see Binaca Belair challenging raising star like her.

Fans start chanting “Cena!” now. Reigns says we’ve already seen Mr. Missionary tonight. Fans boo.
Roman Reigns asks if Finn Balor caught up the John Cena’s promo tonight. He says Cena this Balor is lesser man than him because he said Roman ducking him by accepting Balor’s challenge. Reigns says he doesn’t agree with him ad he thinks Balor is worthy to challenge for the title, and worthy to catch this beatdown at SummerSlam.
Reigns says he doesn’t think Balor is anything like Cena as he sees Balor is hungry and he likes it. So Reigns has to say this – if Balor signs this contract, Reigns has to smash him and send him right back to WWE NXT. Fans boo. Now, Reigns signs the contract. Balor says Reigns must think pretty highly of himself, and perhaps justifiably too but it will be Balor’s privilege to return to NXT once again as Universal Champion.
