The Club vs John Cena and Cesaro
There had to be a certain element of distrust between John Cena and Cesaro in this match, with both men soon to be going to war for the WWE Championship. However, with a common need to attempt to embarrass AJ Styles, they were able to work together. Their combined talents were just a little too much for Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, and it took several distractions from Styles just to keep them in the match. It wouldn't be enough, and it would be Cena who got the win for the team with an Attitude Adjustment.
Winners: John Cena and Cesaro
Alexa Bliss vs Dana Brooke
Last week, Alexa was promised a championship match should she be able to defeat Dana Brooke, and that meant she was more fired up than ever. Her diminutive stature would hurt her in this match, however, as Dana was able to use her power to toss Alexa around the ring. It was a dominant performance for the Total Diva, but Bliss wasn't going to give up. She fought like never before, taking out both Dana and Emma with DDTs, before connecting on Twisted Bliss for the win.
After the match, the Wicked Witch of SmackDown Live wasn't finished. She dragged Dana to the floor, exchanging some trash talk with her former mentor, Emma. She then delivered a second DDT, staring Emma down the whole time, sending a message to the champion.
Winner: Alexa Bliss
Kenny Omega vs Brock Lesnar- #1 Contender's Match for the Intercontinental Championship
Most knew of the reputation of a guy like Kenny Omega, one of the top competitors in the entire world, a man who has enthralled audiences for years. But everything he stands for, everything he is was on the line as he faced perhaps his toughest test in the form of Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate was in top form on this night, as the former World Heavyweight Champion lived up to his impressive resume. Omega was taken to Suplex City early and often, and just survived an early F-5. Lesnar just kept going, more machine than man, hitting a series of impressive powerbombs and a second F-5, but it still wasn't enough. Brock began to grow frustrated, and that meant an opening for Omega. He went several times for the end, looking for the One Winged Angel, but just didn't have the power necessary. Instead, he delivered a debilitating knee right off the jaw, knocking Lesnar clean out and punching his ticket to Summerslam.
Winner: Kenny Omega
It's been an absolute pleasure to bring you every episode of SmackDown throughout this series, as these shows have often been my favorite to write. For now though, the blue brand bids you Good Bye, and Good Night.
