WWE Friday Night SmackDown Full Results
– Nick Aldis & The Bloodline Segment ended with Jacob Fatu replacing Tonga Loa in Gauntlet match.
– LA Knight Promo. Let me talk to you. Here we are, making a little pitstop at SmackDown before we go to SummerSlam, and Santos Escobar couldn’t seem to remember how many times he’s been dropped on his head by this guy. Well, tonight, I’ll be the professor, class is in session. We’re going to teach Santos a little bit about history, then we go on to SummerSlam.
And well, Logan Paul, I’m not going to teach you, man, I’m not going to teach you statistics, no English, but I will teach you how to get your keester stomped in by the man they call the megastar. YEAH! And no matter what classroom you sit in, the curriculum is always the same, with everybody saying, LA Knight, YEAH! Now, hit that music.
– LA Knight defeated Santos Escobar w/Elektra Lopez via pinfall. After the match, Paul attacks Knight. Paul is putting the boots to Knight. Knight drives Paul back first into the turnbuckles. Knight is stomping a mudhole and walking it dry. Knight goes for a Running Knee Strike, but Escobar with The V-Trigger. Paul and Escobar gangs up on Knight. Paul plants Knight with The Frog Splash.
– Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with Naomi. Why did Blair Davenport initially show her a sign of respect, and then a few seconds later, attack her from behind? She doesn’t know what Blair’s really issue is with her. She’s done nothing to that newbie. Blair is clearly trying to play mind games with Naomi, but it’s not going to work. Naomi says that she’s not only going to make Blair feel the glow but respect it as well.
Bianca BelAir and Jade Cargill joins the conversation. Jade thinks that Blair is lame, and she’ll be getting her comeuppance soon. Bianca BelAir is focused on heading to the ring to address the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, The Unholy Union. Naomi tells Bianca and Jade to handle their business.
– Logan Paul tells Byron Saxton that the beatdown LA Knight just received was a little appetizer of what’s ahead for their United States Championship match at SummerSlam. It’s the first course of a three-course meal. He’s going to whoop LA Knight. Cleveland, Ohio is Logan’s hometown, his friends and family will be there. Logan teases that another big star from Cleveland will be attending the show. Logan says that LA Knight is not just fighting a social media superstar at SummerSlam, no, he’s fighting the pride of Cleveland, the ultimate underdog turn top dog. He’s not ready. YEAH!
– Corey Graves recaps the latest live event tour the WWE had in Japan.
– Bianca BelAir, Jade Cargill, The Unholy Union Segment ended in chaos.
– Tiffany Stratton is still dejected about Bayley destroying her Money In The Bank Briefcase last week. Nia Jax tells Tiffany that everything will be alright, and she’ll get her a brand-new briefcase that’s perfect for her. She could cash in on Bayley, but it wouldn’t be a good strategy to immediately lose the title at SummerSlam. Besides, all Tiffany wants to do tonight is get revenge on Bayley.
– The Bloodline defeated Legado Del Fantasma, The Street Profits, The Good Brothers, Pretty Deadly, Apollo Crews & Baron Corbin in a Gauntlet Match and became the #1 contender for the tag team titles.

– Carmelo Hayes interrupted Andrade El Idolo’s interview with Carmelo Hayes. Melo tells Andrade that this isn’t over until he wins. Andrade says that Melo missed in their match last week. Melo responds by saying the crowd didn’t miss him when he left the company a few years ago. Melo compares himself to LeBron James. Andrade says that Melo is not LeBron, more like Bronny Jr. Melo feels that this is his time and Andrade needs to step aside. Andrade is down to have one more match with Melo.
– Nia Jax & Tiffany Stratton defeated Bayley & Michin via pinfall.
– Solo Sikoa Promo. Cody Rhodes, I will see you face-to-face next week. The same night my Tongans will bring back the tag team titles to The Bloodline, the night before I bring back the Undisputed WWE Title to The Bloodline at your expense. In one weekend, The Bloodline will handle family business. And if Roman Reigns got a problem with that, you know where you can find me. You can end up like Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Cody Rhodes, and acknowledge me.
