SmackDown Recap for 6/9

WWE SmackDown 6/9

AJ Styles with The Club opens the show assuring us that this will be the greatest Money in the Bank ever; matter of fact it can be compared to Wrestlemania. For the first time, AJ admits that it was he who orchestrated the Club’s arrival. Hold up, wait. Enzo & Cass objects to Anderson & Gallows dominating in the tag match, which they promised to do. Mr. Clean dream team and Bro. Ray J, as named by Enzo, assured that they would not be defeated by the man who once managed a Hooters.

Anderson & Gallows vs. Enzo & Cass

After commercial break, New Day joins the 3-man announce team on commentary. Byron finds himself on grape feeding duty instead of calling the match. But he wasn’t needed because the New Day added color commentary and promo work better than any guest and some certain announcers. Meanwhile in the ring, Muscle Marinara aka Enzo was getting that work until the Vaudevillains appeared on the ramp as expected. It wasn’t long before the keg explodes, and the match ends in a no contest. Our final look has Enzo & Cass standing tall in the ring and New Day on the outside.

Jericho and Ambrose feud recapped for the upcoming main event for the first time on SmackDown. 
Renee slipped up in her interview and said the announcement was “yesterday” when referring to Rusev’s attack on Titus. Rusev followed up still claiming to be a great American. Titus steps in to set the records straight driving the point home.

Cesaro/Zayn vs. Del Rio/Owens

First thing, JoJo is filling in for Eden, just an observation. The bell rings, and Owens tags out quickly. Del Rio and Owens engage in a game of one up one another. Owens walks out; Zayn chases leaving Cesaro to fend for himself. Zayn and Owens return scrapping like usual. Back in the ring, Del Rio and Owens get into a shoving match. Zayn has a spot when he goes over the ref on the dive outside the ring. An exchange of blows end with an uppercut to Cesaro. Next, Cesaro pulls off an uppercut train into swing and sharpshooter. Owens shakes the rope while Cesaro was going for a superplex leading to Del Rio stomping out Cesaro. A blind tag by Owens for the pin and win.

Becky Lynch vs. Dana Brooke

How many releases led to Becky getting this much smoke? Also, if Becky turns heel, her gimmick could be Becky with the good hair. Dana escapes the ring but comes back to some help from Charlotte. Brooke slaps Natalya, and both ringside women are booted. Becky eventually gets the wins by submission with the Disarmer.

Backlund wants to see Darren Young celebrate. Goes into the saving of money.

Dolph comes down to sit in on commentary for Corbin vs. Kalisto

If you haven’t tagged in months, are you still a team, Lucha Dragons? Kalisto takes advantage early, but Corbin sizes seizes the match. He steps outside to face off with Ziggler. Another match must be in the mix, but why? Corbin lands End of Days for the pin and win.

Sheamus is back taking a page out of the Miz’s gimmick bragging about being Hollywood. This was his first movie? Apollo ready for his payback. What is this crew of flunkies? Summer, Golden Truth, & Zack were just hanging out in the back.

Dean vs. Jericho

This match was sold as Jericho’s retribution for Payback. All in all, I had nothing to say; Jericho won.
It seems that SmackDown is booked like a house show with the bad timing of the promos and commercial breaks.
