July, Week 2, Year 1

Biloxi, MS

Show Opener Promo

The former WWE Champion AJ Styles comes out and talks about his WWE Championship match against the new WWE Champion Roman Reigns at WWE Battleground. He then talks about how as the WWE Champion, AJ was supposed to defend the WWE Championship against Dean Ambrose on SmackDown Live. AJ makes a case that the WWE Championship on SmackDown Live next week should be a Triple Threat. Roman Reigns comes out and agrees by stating that AJ was indeed slated to face Ambrose with the WWE Championship on the line next week on SmackDown Live...but AJ is no longer the WWE Champion. Roman is. However, Roman would be more than happy face off against AJ again at WWE Battleground. Shane McMahon then goes on to make a Six-Man Tornado Tag Team Match tonight featuring The Shield taking on The Club. If The Club wins then the WWE Championship match next week on SmackDown Live will become a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship as “The Big Dog” Roman Reigns will defend against “The Lunatic Fringe” Dean Ambrose and “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles.

They engage in a promo battle that Apollo is about to get the better of when Del Rio suddenly clocks Apollo in the face with the microphone. They have a brawl that Del Rio ends up winning.

After suffering a crushing defeat at WrestleMania at the hands of The Shield, The Authority and their iron fist haven't been the same although they have been plotting and attempting to regain their dominance. They state that they could have held off on a big return for next week on SmackDown Live but they are here tonight to make a statement. As far as SmackDown Live goes, at the end of the night, all that will be on anybody's mind will be rightful return of dominance of The Authority!

The Miz comes out to brag and boast about defeating John Cena last week on Monday Night RAW. He says that naturally Cena couldn't just give The Miz his moment and whined and cried about a rematch. He gives John all of the credit in the world as a wordsmith and the way that he can manipulate the WWE Universe into thinking that The Miz pulled off a fluke. However, The Miz is relishing a rematch against John Cena at Battleground because it will be there where he will show the WWE Universe that it was no fluke and the The Miz is really that much more AWESOME.

This match excites him because Swagger feels that he can finally be able to show the WWE Universe what he can truly do and what he is made of. He talks about how he's been training the hardest that he has ever trained in his life and states that he's got what it takes to defeat Brock Lesnar at WWE Battleground.

Show Closer Promo

The WWE Women's Champion Charlotte comes out and says that she has a call-out to make. This person just doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut whether it's backstage, behind her back or on social media. Charlotte once considered this person a dear friend but now the only thing Charlotte wants anything to do with this person is shut her mouth. Charlotte calls out Sasha Banks, a call-out that the WWE Universe in Biloxi was not expecting. Sasha Banks comes out and backs up everything that she's been saying backstage, in interviews and on social media. Why? Because Charlotte may think that she's done with her but Sasha will never done with Charlotte as long as she has Sasha's WWE Women's Championship. Once Sasha regains her Women's Championship, Charlotte can then disappear in her rear view mirror as far as she is concerned. Charlotte goes on to win the promo battle but this situation has raised some questions. It had seemed as though Charlotte had put Sasha in her rear view mirror after Money in the Bank but now, despite already being involved in a rivalry with Becky Lynch, it seems as though Charlotte has still some bitter and unfinished business with “The Boss”.
