WWE Smackdown Results (31/07/20): Styles-Metalik; Bayley-Cross; Mandy-Otis Returns

A stacked episode of SmackDown was in-store last night where two championships were on the line. AJ Styles and Bayley defended the Intercontinental and the Women’s Championships, respectively.

A grudge match was there between Lacey Evans and Naomi whereas two love birds returned on the scene when the show aired from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

An episode of Firefly Funhouse opened SmackDown where Bray Wyatt stated that Braun Strowman still must be residing under the Swamp that we saw at Extreme Rules. But he wants Strowman and Universal Championship. Until he gets that, nobody is safe.

WWE Intercontinental Title Match was the opening contest of SmackDown between Gran Metalik and AJ Styles. AJ focused on the hurt leg of Metalik and punished him with the Half Crab submission move.

Metalik countered with an Enziguiri and dodged a Phenomenal Forearm. But AJ soon caught him into the Calf Crusher forcing to tap out. AJ retained his title and then delivered a Styles Clash to Lince Dorado before leaving.

Jeff Hardy was out on SmackDown to talk about overcoming his obsession with alcohol and then defeat Sheamus in a Bar Fight. His promo was interrupted by King Corbin who went on a rant until Drew Gulak attacked him from behind and set up the next match.

Drew Gulak vs. King Baron Corbin was the lineup where Matt Riddle was out to have a close look into the match. Gulak wanted to get the upper-hand using this distraction but he ran into an End of Days from Corbin to suffer the loss.
After the match, Riddle tried to attack Corbin but Shorty G came out and dropped Riddle with a German Suplex. G decides to take the side of Corbin in return for money.

Big E competed in a match against The Miz on SmackDown where John Morrison distracted E on several occasions. The referee finally caught him and ejected from ringside. This allowed E to lock in the Stretch Muffler submission on Miz for the win.

Lacey Evans competed, next against Naomi on SmackDown to dominate the match as she tied Naomi’s hair with the ropes. Somehow the former champion freed herself and gave her some kicks to backfire. Evans sent her into the turnbuckles and went for the Women’s Right. Naomi back-slid her for the pinfall win.

Sonya Deville attacked Mandy Rose from behind on SmackDown. She picked a clipper from Mandy’s makeup items and chopped off some hairs until the referees and officials walked out to the scene.

SmackDown Women’s Title Match was the main event of the show between Nikki Cross and Bayley. Bliss neutralized by dropping Sasha Banks on the floor. Cross hit a Crossbody on Bayley but failed to get the pinfall win. Bayley countered with her finishing maneuver and planted Cross into the mat for the win.

After the match, Cross wasn’t happy with Alexa Bliss and shoved her into the mat before leaving. The lights suddenly went out as we saw The Fiend appearing behind Bliss. He applied the Mandible Claw to put down Bliss as SmackDown went off the air.
