What Transpired Once Smackdown Live Went Off The Air: August 14, 2018

Smackdown went off the air last night with a verbal confrontation. The creative team took an interesting route to build up the WWE Championship match. We have not seen any physical encounter between AJ Styles and Samoa Joe except for the contract signing. But the insults towards the champion by the contender went more than personal.

AJ Styles was furious after Samoa Joe took his family’s name on different occasions. We saw how the latter one tried to go into the head of the champion reading a fake letter from Styles’ wife. Once the show went off the air, the ‘champ that runs the camp’ tried to seek redemption. However, he failed to do so courtesy of the officials.

WWE.com released a footage from the backstage of Smackdown after the main show went off the air. It showed that AJ Styles was trying to attack the Samoan Submission Machine. But the authorities and security figures pulled him back to do so. This allowed Joe to deliver some more verbal assaults to his Summerslam opponent.

AJ Styles featured in in-ring competition following Smackdown Live, this week. The crowd in attendance witnessed The Club reunite. Styles, Gallows, and Anderson performed as a team in a six-man tag team action. The team of Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Samoa Joe were their opponents. The babyface team picked up the win. Here’s how the match unfolded, (courtesy wrestlingINC.com)

“Orton and Joe spent most of the match fighting Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson outside of the ring, while Styles and Nakamura battled inside the ring.

The finish saw Randy Orton hit Anderson with an RKO, only to get planted by a big boot from Gallows. Nakamura then hit Gallows with a Kinshasa, but AJ Styles got him in the Styles Clash to get the win for his team at around the 3:30 mark.”

The Smackdown Live fallout show witnessed Aiden English delivering a message to Rusev and Lana. He was in an unstable condition following the loss against Almas. Once again, he tried to clarify that his intentions were never ever to do harm to the couple. But somehow things backfired. As of now, Aiden failed to reconcile with them.

Jeff Hardy was back in action for Smackdown Live. He defeated Shelton Benjamin in a singles contest. This gave him momentums for the Summerslam match over the United States title. This was his message addressing this championship match,

“My first trick is not to wrap my elbows this right because it really bothered me tonight. But I got a win over Shelton Benjamin, here comes Shinsuke and you never know when that guy’s going to interfere. It’s The Enigma vs. The Artist at SummerSlam and I’m going in ever-ready.”
