The Dirt Sheet with The Miz and John Morrison

In honor of their title match, Miz and Morrison debut a short: “Once Upon a Time on the Dirt Sheet.” It was pretty weird. This brought out the New Day, who explained that Kofi is Mr. Miz’s favorite wrestler. The Usos came out saying “Woah” many times. The Usos explained the Miz and Morrison didn’t beat them on their way to their title match. When Dolph Ziggler’s theme music came on, Miz and Morrison attacked New Day from behind sending Smackdown to a commercial break.

The Usos defeated Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode

Roode and Ziggler started with an extended advantage over Jey Uso. Prior to going to commercial, Jey Uso made a short comeback, but Roode pushed him from the top turnbuckle to the floor. Back from commercial, Roode and Ziggler continued to beat down Jey.

After the tag finally got made, Jimmy Uso hit a pair of Samoan drops before Roode could hit Jimmy with a powerslam to take back the advantage. Jimmy tagged back out to Jey, who got caught coming off the top rope. Jimmy hit a top rope splash for the pinfall victory over Robert Roode.

Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross Promo

Alexa knows she can beat Bayley because she’s done it before. She says she has something twisted up her sleeve.

Replay of the Dog Food Spot

After the video played, Corbin ran into the production truck and attacked one of the production staff.

Ladies and Gentleman. . .Elias

He sang his song Third Times a Charm. . . .but Cesaro and Sami Zane interrupted. Zane says Elias will pay for interrupting him last week.

Elias defeated Cesaro

The match started while Smackdown was on commercial break. Cesaro took the majority of the match and did hit his dead lift superplex before getting a near fall. At the end of the match, Elias hit a top rope elbow smash for the pinfall victory.

King Corbin Promo

He wants everyone to bow down and listen to him. Corbin says the Usos are carrying dead weight. Corbin demanded one more match with Roman. After Corbin spilled beer all over a fan, Roman came out and beat up Corbin until he ran away. Roman says Corbin can have one more match in a steel cage.

Goldberg Declares that The Fiend is Next

Firefly Fun House interrupts Goldberg to say the Fiend accepts. Mercy the Buzzard says it will be a cold day in hell before The Fiend loses the championship.

Heath Slater and Daniel Bryan

Heath Slater decides to check in with Daniel Bryan. He recaps everything that Daniel has gone through with the Fiend and says it was pretty stupid. Daniel Bryan says how about they square off in the ring. . .right now.

Daniel Bryan defeated Heath Slater by Referee Stoppage

Daniel Bryan attacked Slater at the bell with a high knee, hit a suicide dive, the Yes Kicks, another running knee, and 10 or 12 kicks to the face. After that, he cinched in the Yes Lock for the referee stoppage.

Recap of Braun Strowman’s Intercontinental Championship Victory

Renee Young brought Braun out to the ring for his interview. The crowd let him know “he deserves it.” He mentions that he hasn’t been able to hold a singles title over his head. . .until now. That brought out Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zane. Sami Zane demanded a championship rematch considering his win was “fraudulent.” Braun says he can have the rematch now, but Zane says not right now. At that moment, The Revival ambushed Braun. Strowman took out Shinsuke and the Revival, but he couldn’t get his hands on Sami Zane. As Braun attempted to get back in the ring, Shinsuke hit Storwman with the Kinshasa.

Otis Getting Ready for his Date with Mandy Rose

A great video of Otis working out, getting dressed, and learning to use silverware.

Sheamus defeated Apollo Crews

After hitting a brogue kick, Sheamus quickly defeated Apollo by pinfall. Shorty G came out to prevent Sheamus from continuing to beat down Apollo after the bell. Sheamus laid him out too.

Carmella defeated Naomi, Alexa Bliss, and Dana Brooke: She will face Bayley for Smackdown Championship

Naomi hit a corkscrew plancha to take out all three of her opponents. Bayley got up from her chair at ringside and threw Naomi into the steps sending the show to commercial.

The closing sequence came when Alexa hit Naomi’s knees on a twisted bliss attempt. Naomi hit rear view on Bliss, but Carmella hit a pair of super kicks on Naomi for the pinfall victory. Carmella will challenge for the Smackdown Championship.
