Bengaluru, July 16: A big reveal about SummerSlam was the highlight of this week's Smackdown as a WWE Legend's return in a special role was confirmed during the main event segment.
A huge Championship Contender’s Match was on the card to alter a title match equation at SummerSlam. Also, Mr. Money In The Bank Theory was in attendance at the show that took place at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida.
Check out the recap and results from the July 15 episode of Friday Night SmackDown:
– SmackDown kicked off with Michael Cole interviewing Pat McAfee who was seemingly happy with Happy Corbin accepting a match against him at SummerSlam.
Corbin interrupted and said that he is a fighter while Pat just punts footballs. He also advised Pat to stay in his lane behind the Commentary Table if not he's interested to hurt himself, further.
– In the opening match, SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan defeated Natalya in a Championship Contender’s bout. Natalya applied an ankle lock but Morgan escaped and sent her into the middle turnbuckle before following up with The Oblivion for the pin to win.
