Steve Notes Smackdown 8/27/21

Owens and Graves on Commentary!

Becky starts Smackdown

She says back on top baby! I missed you guys. When I had to give up my title, it was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. It felt like I was giving up my identity, been working every day to get back to where I once was. But now I do have a new life, new set of priorities, if you think I was dangerous before, now that I’m not just fighting for myself. Which brings me to summerslam. (Crowd boos)

There has been a lot of controversy, I was underhanded. I’d like to say, I’m sorry, for absolutely nothing. I’ve been in WWE long enough to know everything is about timing, opportunity. If you think I haven’t been prepping for this every day since I’ve been gone, you’re crazy.

Bianca comes out. I’m not here to make excuses, cuz that’s not my style, but if you think I’m ok with what happened at Summerslam, uh-uh. I’ve been here working here too had, too long, for you to walk in and erase that in 26 seconds. I accepted your last-minute challenge, so how about we tear it down for that title tonight.

Oh ffs Zelina vega comes out. She says is this what the EST of WWE has been reduced to? Crying for a rematch? Bianca, you should fall back, let me have that match with Becky. Carmella comes out.

Mela makes excuses for not being prepared. Liv Morgan interrupts.

Liv says I don’t understand why these two want a shot when they get beat week after week after week, but Becky if you want a contender, I’m right here. Bianca interrupts them bickering, says Becky, lets give the people what they want, Bianca vs. The Man tonight. Becky says nah, not tonight.

Elimination Match

Liv vs Bianca vs. Mella vs. Vega

Bianca eliminates Vega with KOD

Liv eliminates Mela with her finish

Bianca hits KOD on Liv after an extended ***½ match

Heyman interview, he stands by Roman Reigns, now he has to prep for his family’s celebration, then tries to go in Roman’s room and he’s LOCKED OUT.

Back from commercial, Kayla is still outside the room with Heyman, the Usos come out, they ask Paul jokingly if Heyman knew Brock was gonna be there at Slam. Heyman says NO, why would I tear down what we’ve all worked on so hard to build up. I swear I did not know brock was gonna be there. BUt why did you send us to the locker room before Roman’s match? He says I wasn’t the one who sent you back. Roman did. Usos say this family is built on trust, and walk  back in.

Chad Gable vs. Cesaro

Cesaro gets the swing going, Otis attacks, DQ, then they do their great finish, followed by Otis’ Vader Bomb

Oh dear, RICH CORBIN shows up in a fancy car with a slick look, OH DEAR HE’S HAPPY CORBIN

Hahahah Happy Corbin comes out to new music

He says look at this smile, did you think you’d see this smile on my face? I lost my house, my wife, I was wearing the same dirty shirt for months, but look at me now I look incredible! I did it all by myself, and I am the happiest man in the world! He throws to a video package.

I was the mayor of jackpot city!! I deserve this, I bet on myself and I won! He says he’s the happiest man alive, but there’s one thing that would make him even happier, Big E could you come out here?

Big E comes out

E says I’m happy for you, just glad you don’t smell anymore. Corbin says I know you were mad when I stole your MITB, so I want to make things square. I wanna buy it. How much?? $20,000?

Big E says nah.

$50,000?

Nope.

Corbin says you probably gonna cash in and lose that happens to people.

E says people like you? Corbin says YES! You’re gonna end up miserable! I want you to be happy like me. $100,000???

Big E milks it, says HELL NO! But I do have a myriad of things you could spend that money on. A half eaten sandwich? A pencil? An Arkansas razorback plushie! Corbin says its fine, I am way too rich and too happy for this. SO be miserable, cash in lose, you will regret not accepting my $100,000.

E says either hit the bricks or I’m gonna slap that smile off your face. Corbin leaves.

Edge: Summerslam was satisfying, I defeated Rollins, but I paid for it. I had to go to a dark place to find the most savage version of myself. It affected me. But I did it. And now that this chapter, this albatross is over and done with. I’m moving on to the Universal Championship.

Rollins: Edge, I’ve got one thing I wanna say to you. Congratulations. I’ve had a week to think about everything that happened at Slam, some call it MOTY, for me, it was a loss that taught me something about myself. As much as it pains me to admit this, at Slam you won my respect and admiration. I admire you, the career, and the life you built for yourself. It got me thinking, if I wanna fight my way back to the title, maybe I need to be a bit more like you. So thank you and congratulations.

Reigns walks up to Paul, outside his door, he says what are you doing? There’s a pause. Reigns says do I gotta open my own doors now? Roman acts like everything is cool.

Boogz/Nakamura vs. Roode/Ziggler

Mid-match, there’s a Crews promo where he runs down Nakamura and Boogz

Boogz gets the win here

Naomi approaches Sonya, Sonya is a complete asshole to Naomi, says she didn’t know she was gonna be there, says she’s not sure if she’s gonna measure up.

Backstage, Rey breaks up with his son before his match against…

Dom vs. Sami Zayn

Sami dominates, Dom tries a 619, Dom flies out of the ring as Sami pulls the ropes down, Rey comes down, Dom gets 2 with a rollup, Sami hits Helluva Kick for 3

**

Bloodline is gonna go out for the celebration, Paul hesitates to go, Roman says what? Heyman says this is for family. He says Wise Man, you are family.

Heyman gives a huge intro to Roman and the Usos. They’re a real faction now cuz they have shirts too.

Heyman says this is the moment we all get to celebrate that we’ve CENA-NUFF of Cena, thanks to the beating at the hands of Roman Reigns.

Finn Balor interrupts

He says you know I got screwed by John Cena, I havent forgotten about Cena, I’ll deal with him. But now Edge is talking about the Uni title, brock is back, I was gonna come out here and challenge you at Extreme Rules. But I don’t trust anyone around here, and I’m not waiting around in line, I’m challenging you next week on Smackdown. Finn throws the mic at Reigns, attacks, Usos attack, Profits make the save, Balor hits CDG on Jimmy
