Bengaluru, June 19: The buildup for Stomping Grounds pay-per-view was the main focus of last night's WWE Smackdown Live, which took place at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California.
In the show, we saw the challenger for the WWE Championship in action, while the champion himself teamed up with the Universal Champion from Raw in the main event of the night. Meanwhile, A Moment of Bliss talk-show also returned to add hype to the women's title match schedule for this Sunday (June 23) at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington.
Here are the full results from Smackdown before Stomping Grounds:
The New Day made their way to the ring to kick off Smackdown Live and spoke about Kofi Kingston's WWE title defense at Stomping Grounds. The champion explained how he would retain the title at the PPV, but the challenger Dolph Ziggler walked out to interrupt the trio. The Show Off then stressed on the fact that the Steel Cage will prevent Kofi's buddies from interfering during the match. So it'll be him who will come out on top in the end of the match.
Meanwhile, there were two backstage segments, where the Women's Tag Team Championship match between the IIconics and Kabuki Warriors was finalized for WWE tour of Japan. Plus, the feud between Sonya Deville & Mandy Rose with Ember Moon also continued on the show.
