WWE SmackDown Live

September, Week 4, Year 1

Philadelphia, PA

After losing the rubber match to John Cena at WWE Backlash, a frustrated Miz came out and mocked Superstars like AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose for talking about redemption. He claims that he's a greater Superstar than all of them, in fact he is the greatest Superstar on SmackDown Live and that is why you see him all over Hollywood. Miz claimed that he would prove it by challenging “The Viper” Randy Orton to a match.

After making short work of Dean Ambrose at WWE Backlash, “The Viper” replied to Miz's challenge by remarking that the SmackDown Live locker room must be in the mood for death wishes lately.

Last month on SmackDown Live, the leader of The Wyatt Family, “The Eater of Worlds” Bray Wyatt picked up a big victory over The Undertaker that nobody saw coming. Bray has since been heard whispering about how “The Phenom's time has gone”. Since then, “The Dead Man” has been on a hunt, taking down members of The Wyatt Family. A hunt that has found its way to Philadelphia, home of extreme...

Middle Card Promo

Heath Slater comes out to the ring and cuts a promo embracing his new tag team partner Rhyno as well as the WWE Universe. He's realized that he needs all of them because it's their support that is the reason why he stands in the ring. He's got kids and he needs this job!

A cryptic vignette is shown with a muffled and distorted voice that could barely be understood. It repeats “I've always had it under control” over and over again. “I've always had it under control”, “I've always had it under control”,“I've always had it under CONTROOOOOOOOL.”

The Ascension (Konnor & Viktor) vs Hype Bros (Zack Ryder & Mojo Rawley)

Baron Corbin replays footage of himself defeating James Ellsworth last week and wants to know why he was placed at the very bottom of the SmackDown Live rankings after his match against AJ Styles at Backlash. Corbin calls out SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon and demands answers. 

Shane and Baron exchange verbal jabs as Corbin begins to slander the commissioner which prompts Shane to remind him of who he is speaking with. It isn't long before Corbin decides that he's finally had enough of this back-and-forth and lays out Shane McMahon with a kick down low. Corbin beats down the SmackDown Live Commissioner.

Match #5

Normal Match

John Cena vs James Ellsworth

Winner by pinfall: John Cena (Attitude Adjustment)(Squash)

A vignette is shown promoting Sting returning to the WWE and coming soon to SmackDown Live.

Show Closer Promo

Dean Ambrose comes out to the ring and is still in disbelief with himself over his seconds-long defeats to Baron Corbin at SummerSlam and to Randy Orton at Backlash. Even before SummerSlam, Ambrose (who had and still holds a rematch clause in his contract for a WWE Championship rematch) was cut in line by John Cena and Baron Corbin who received their WWE Championship bout opportunities before him. Both have challenged the WWE Champion AJ Styles and both...have failed. Perhaps the ending of this chapter for Dean Ambrose sees his redemption in succeeding where John Cena and Baron Corbin have failed. After all...that rematch clause is literally all that Ambrose has left, so here it is: Dean Ambrose is challenging AJ Styles to a WWE Championship match at WWE No Mercy!

Match #6

Main Event

Normal Match

Randy Orton vs The Miz (w/Maryse)

Winner by pinfall: Randy Orton (Avalanche RKO)
