– Tonight’s Smackdown opened with 16-time World Champion John Cena making his way to the ring. He welcomes the fans for tonight’s Smackdown and hypes his Summer Slam match against Roman Reigns for Universal Championship next Saturday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Cena says with school going back in session, it’s the perfect time to give Reigns his report card. Cena says Reigns is a D, a below average D, a D-head, a D-bag, and above all he’s a huge disappointment, because WWE has been selling us Roman Reigns for 10 years, and judging by the numbers the only one buying is Roman. Cena continued that he came back to WWE with a very specific agenda that to give Reigns a F and Roman Reigns will receive that F from him at SummerSlam.
“@WWERomanReigns will LOSE at #SummerSlam…”

John Cena wants to hear what Tulsa feels about this. Fans cheer and boo, thens starts chanting Cena. He has a pop quiz for the fans and asks, do you think Reigns will beat the hell out of him at SummerSlam? The crowd loudly responds with a mixed reaction. Cena says that Roman will beat the hell out of him at SummerSlam, but he also knows Reigns will lose at SummerSlam and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Now, music interrupts, here comes Universal Champion Roman Reigns along with Paul Heyman.
Greatness personified.

Heyman hands the mic to Roman Reigns and he says let’s get to it. John Cena says he will wait till Saturday to embarrass Roman Reigns on the biggest stage of them all. Reigns asks Cena that’s it, then, Cena says that’s all he needs. Cena says he sees a guy walking around like this is his show, like we all have to play by his rules, like this is Reigns’ company. But everyone knows the company belongs to the fans.
Cena futher says that he’s back because he is the only one that who can shut Reigns up. Cena continued to talk more about why he’s back and says he was asked to come back so he can serve Reigns a big slice of humble pie, which he will do at SummerSlam to shut him up. “Roman Sucks” chant starts. Cena says fans have one week to decide but they know what it will be.

Roman Reigns says he thought Cenaq was going to bring something different and fresh tonight. He hit back to Cena’s joke and says knock him with something better. Cena again talks about how Reigns will beat him good at SummerSlam but he doesn’t need to prove himself to Reigns, that’s what is so historic, he just needs to pin Reigns 1-2-3. Cena says if he can hold onto the title just one more time, it’ll make #17 and that will make him the most decorated of all-time.
“All I need is 1, 2, 3…and you’re the biggest FAILURE in WWE history.” 😮#SmackDown #SummerSlam @JohnCena @WWERomanReigns @HeymanHustle pic.twitter.com/Tl2VszGzud

Cena goes on about how he’s here to help Reigns. Reigns and Heyman joke about Cena’s comments. Reigns talks more about Cena being the best, at the top of WWE on Mount Rushmore, but Reigns is just glad he can beat Cena. Reigns says Cena is good and he’s good enough to main event SummerSlam and win the WWE Title, but not good enough to win the Universal Title. Reigns says 20 years of missionary may have been good enough for Cena, in a reference to his recent promo, but it wasn’t good enough for Nikki Bella.
Reigns says he’s will smash Cena at Summer Slam and retain his title then pack him on a private jet and will send him back to Hollywood, but he wants Cena to enjoy this because it might be the last time we get to see Cena. Reigns tells Cena to take us home. Cena says Reigns want to hypocritically knock him for doing D-jokes, but then bring up sex and a break-up he had. Cena goes on about how Reigns has been protected, how he almost ruined Seth Rollins and ran Dean Ambrose out of WWE.
Cena futher talks about how Reigns has been protected, with the whole system behind him, and it’s still not working and Reigns needs to be embarrassed. Cena says Reigns is right by a lot – SummerSlam will be compelling, Cena will go to a Hollywood set afterwards, and Reigns will smash him, but Heyman knows better than anyone how much Cena can take and still hang on, and all he needs to do is hang on for that 1-2-3. Cena says Reigns is the biggest failure in WWE history.
Cena continuedn that Reigns has to shine, smash and bash and overachieve, but all he needs is 1-2-3 and then Reigns will be the answer to a trivia question – who did John Cena beat to become a 17-time champion? Then, Reigns will show up like he does and put on a helluva show, and all Cena is going to do is hang on for 1-2-3. Cena goes on and says he’s going to take the title, hop the barrier with the title and he may even blow Reigns a kiss goodbye. Cena says Reigns doesn’t get this – it’s inevitable and no one can protect reigns any longer, and at SummerSlam, The Champ is… gone. Cena taunts Reigns with “1-2-3” in his face once again, and drops the mic. Cena exits the ring and walking to back while Reigns raises the title in the air.
#SummerSlam is going to be EPIC.

– Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring and fans boos. Rollins says he hates to be party pooper but his sources told him that the Rated-R Superstar Edge will not be here tonight. Rollins says he’s just disappointed as the fans because he wants to put his fist on Edge’s face for the lies he told about Rollins last week. Fans started chanting “We want Edge”. Rollins says he too wants Edge but according to the Edge, we have next best thing – Edge Lite.
Rollins laughs at Edge having the nerve to call him Edge Lite, he says it’s the most egotistical thing he’s ever heard, but it makes sense because Edge has done everything there is to do in WWE, and can’t stand the fact that Rollins’ career has been a little better than Edge’s, and everything Rollins has done, he’s done just a little better than Edge. Rollins says this isn’t just his opinion but we have documented and verifiable proof.

Seth Rollins has taken the time to put together a career retrospective on he and Edge, to show the truth. Rollins tells them to play the footage. The video shows some of the bigger moments from Edge’s WWE career, and how Rollins accomplished the same, or did it better, such as Royal Rumble wins and Money In the Bank cash-ins. Fans boo and Rollins says he sees on lies there. Rollins says he had a bit of a revelation watching that video and Edge should be thanking him. Not just Edge, all of the fans should be thanking Rollins as well.
Seth Rollins says if he had stomped Edge back in 2014, we wouldn’t be having this conversation or this dream match at SummerSlam. He continued that all of those moments, edge’s epic comeback and everything else, none of it would’ve happened if Rollins stomped him in 2014, including his acting career. Edge wouldn’t be pushing his kids at home on a swing set because they’d be pushing him in a damn wheelchair. Rollins says Edge has pushed him too far and is making him say things he doesn’t want to say. Rollins gets closer to the camera and says this isn’t 2014 anymore, he’s changed and times have changed, and at SummerSlam he will stomp Edge’s head into the mat and no hold back and if that puts him out for good, then so be it. Rollins laughs and taunts the crowd.
“If that puts you out for good, then so be it.”@WWERollins vows to STOMP @EdgeRatedR at #SummerSlam. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/oL9vRbgSkG

– Baron Corbin makes his way to the ring. Cole says this is Corbin’s last chance to raise funds before bankruptcy. The segment is billed as his last plea. Corbin talks about how things were bad for him and knocks people for kicking someone who is down. He says it’s the last time he’s asking for the help, he used to a certain lifestyle and needs everyone to contribute a minimum of $1,000. Corbin says he’s going to make things easy with a credit card scanner he has in his phone. Music hits, here comes Kevin Owens.
All @BaronCorbinWWE needs… is $1,000 from everybody in Tulsa. #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/9StdXi9B4I
— WWE (@WWE) August 14, 2021
Corbin says Owens is here for the right reasons, to contribute. Owens says he’s not here to help him but he’s here to tell Corbin to stop, the begging needs to stop, Corbin needs to stop embarrassing himself. Owens tried to help Corbin weeks ago but he was wrong about Corbin being like him and just making mistakes. I can’t believe they’re going on with this Corbin storyline.
Owens knocks Corbin some more and says who actually asks for $100,000? Then, Corbin says someone who needs it. They had few words and Corbin says he’s not leaving the ring untill Owens gives him $1,000. Owens agrees to give but only if Corbin beats him in a match. If Corbin loses, he has to stop begging for money and stop embarrassing WWE, and start helping himself. Corbin agrees and starts poking Owens with his finger while saying he wouldn’t even be in this situation if Owens wasn’t a cheap piece but suddenly Owens hits Stunner to Corbin.

Belair asks if Banks is ready, or is she going to run away again, or should Belair turn her back so Banks can stab her in the back again. Belair points to Banks rolling her eyes, and says she’s still petty and still jealous. Belair says Banks had to ask if the she wants her WrestleMania rematch. Banks says Belair used her “stank braid” at WrestleMania and put her out for months.
Both argued untill Sonya Deville stops them and tells that we’re not going to do this because these contract signings have been going haywire lately and their names are getting signed now. Banks takes the pen to sign but she stops and says she needs witnesses for it. Then, she waves her hands and here comes both Carmella and Zelina Vega and stood behind Banks.

Banks says Belair wasn’t expecting this, poking at her for being a rookie. Banks says she’s always two steps ahead of Belair. Banks signs the contract as Carmella and Vega stand behind her. Then, Belair signs the contract and Belair throws the contract in Banks’ face and fights off Carmella and Vega as they try to ambush her. Belair leaps onto Banks and unloads on her. Carmella takes out Belair but she fights back and throws out Carmella and Zelina Vega.
