Steve Notes Smackdown 9/25/20

Corey Graves goes over the match for Clash with the IC participants 

AJ promo- says Jeff cheated and Zayn left for the summer to grow out his neck beard- didn’t I just beat you last week?

Sami- none of this should have happened, AJ you were the fraudulent champ- Jeff when you won it you should have denounced it and recognized me

Jeff says shut up, I agree with AJ, Sami you should be grateful, we’ve been here defending this title week after week- so let’s just hang these up now. 

Haha Sami dumps the ladder on them both 

Pierce comes out and makes the singles match a triple threat match 

Jeff Hardy vs. Sami Zayn vs. AJ Styles

Zayn pins Hardy after AJ drops Hardy with Phenomenal Forearm, guaranteeing ZAYN WON’T WIN AT CLASH THEN AJ GRABS THE GOLD AT THE TOP OF THE LADDER GUARANTEEING HARDY WINS

Otis and Tucky Interview

Whats your decision: I don’t trust clowns or lawyers- Miz interrupts- says my lawyers want to help the WWE Universe get a real Mr. MITB. Tucky points out that Miz’s lawyers only put MIZ on the contract- before MOrrison can reply, Otis attacks

Bayey promo

I have work to do, unlike whiney, crying Sasha, I have a championship match to prepare for- so nikki cross- last week I overheard you say this was gonna be different because i don’t have sasha in my corner- think about WHY she’s not gonna be in my corner

Gran Metalik vs. Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke has the upper hand from go, kicks Metalik’s head against the bottom turnbuckle a bunch, Metalik comes back and launches himself over the ropes onto Shin to get the upper hand

Shin gets a running knee to the back of Metalik’s head, then a reverse exploder, gets a kinshasa for the win

After the win, Cesaro comes and gut wrenches Dorado and Kalisto does nothing

Lince pushes Kalisto down for doing jackshit

Idiot Uso shows up, starts banging on Roman Reigns’ door

Road Warrior Video

Roman/Jey Family Video Package- really good stuff, although Sika looks like hes in an interrogation room on Dateline

They talk about Roman being destined for greatness vs. Jey, who paid his dues every step of the way

Jey promo, while Roman and Paul watch from his lounge area.

Jey sounds like an absolute idiot. ALl week they’ve been asking me about the look- how am I supposed to see it with my back turned- UCE, what’s up with the look? ROman just nods to Paul, Jey says nothing? I thought we were better than that- smile in front of my face and frown behind my back what is it? Heyman comes out of the Roman Lounge- I believe WWE deserves to hear what Roman has to say- here’s where you all have it wrong- it’s not going to happen when Jey Uso wants it to happen, it will happen at the accommodation of the schedule of Roman Reigns, and I guarantee you that will happen in the ring tonight. 

Jey says ok I knew something was up, you changed your number, but it’s all good it’s all love- either way it goes, we’re manning up, welcome to the uso penitentiary

Corbin- he’s pissed he saw Riddle’s Bro video- he does his own, Bro means pain, agony, etc

Matt Riddle vs. Baron Corbin

Riddle comes out strong, dominates match til after commercial when he goes for an arm triangle, and Corbin hits a big power bomb to get out of it

Baron punches Riddle out, Riddle collapses as he goes for another punch, but then Riddle gives him a ripcord knee, two forearms, suplex, PK, gets 2

Riddle goes for the ripcord knee again, Baron hits DEEP SIX, gets 2, Riddle springboards, but Corbin DECKS him in midair, goes for EOD, Riddle reverses with knee strike, goes up top for Floating Bro, gets KNEES, END OF DAYS gets 3

***1/2 

Interview for Riddle afterwards- I’m not gonna lie, LOSING SUCKS, but I’m not gonna let this setback get this stallion down, I’m gonna push on til Smackdown is the bro show

Mystery Carmella writes UNTOUCHABLE on the mirror in lipstick, then hides her face behind a polaroid camera. 

Alexa Bliss vs. Lacey Evans

Lacey comes out strong, dominates through commercial (apparently the the fiend laughed going into commercial, I missed it) and on and on, Lacey misses a moonsault, and the FIEND ENTRANCE happens for like ten seconds, then Alexa goes batshit on Lacey, starts ramming her head into the mat with her foot til she gets DQ’d, then hits another sister abigail on the outside. The fiend’s entrance tron stuff happens and you hear LET ME IN. Then Roman’s music hits as she walks up, he raises the title and she stares at it. Really good shit. 

Match gets *3/4

Jey Uso interrupts Heyman

Roman says you want my side of the story: I would give you this title if I could- but you wouldn’t know what to do with it. YOu don’t understand the responsibility of being on top- the weight and the pressure of being the FACE. Its not your fault, you’re a TWIN. Your entire life you’ve depended on your brother- you are ONE half of the greatest tag team of our generaiton and we’re so proud of you. Our family depends on me being the tribal chief. It’s not you, it’ll never be you, because it’ll always be me.

Jey: What if you’re wrong? Why can’t i be the one? YOu’ve been on top my whole life- you know what they say when they see me? WHICH ONE ARE YOU? After sunday, when they ask who am I? I know who you are UCE, you the one who beat Roman Reigns at Clash, and that right there will be ME. He walks up the ramp, eats a Superman punch. Roman screams you’re gonna take the payday, you’re gonna take the ass whupping that comes with it, but you will never take my place at the head of the table.
