-Smackdown kicks off with Booker T coming to the ring. After a spinaroonie in a tuxedo, he busted out footage of Sheamus stealing Del Rio’s car from Monday. Booker did not approve of this, even though it was funny, and wanted Sheamus to apologize. Sheamus did come out, and explained that he only took the car because Del Rio tried to take his dignity last week by insulting his upbringing. Sheamus did apologize, which made Booker happy, and he said that they could put it behind them.

Unfortunately Del Rio hit the ring and said he disagreed with that. Del Rio said he filed a report with the police and that he would get the last laugh. Booker then explained that if he followed through, Sheamus would not be able to defend his title. Del Rio stated that Sheamus was a hooligan, and that it reflects badly on Booker. Sheamus then offered the solution of not waiting until SummerSlam and doing the match tonight. Del Rio contemplated it, noting that he should wait, to train for Summerslam, but then accepted for our Smackdown main event.

-Cody Rhodes made his way to the ring, and cut a promo on Sin Cara. He stated that he was no stranger to masks, and that Sin Cara was wearing his mask because he was ugly, and that underneath of it, he was nothing special.

Sin Cara vs. Cody Rhodes

And here we go, as we have out special mood lighting for Cara. To the corner, Cara with rights, roll up and that gets 2. head scissors by Cara, Rhodes to the floor. Baseball slide stopped by Rhodes, who tries to rip off the mask. Back in and a dropkick by Rhodes gets 2. Gutbuster suplex by Rhodes, and that gets another 2. Knee to the gut by Rhodes, again and then a right drops Cara. Boot to the head by Rhodes, and now Rhodes looks for a Gory special, also tries to grab the mask of Cara. Cara arm drags out, but eats a boot and Rhodes covers for 2. Rhodes goes after the mask again, kicks by Cara stops that, and then gets the back handspring elbow. Leg kicks, run up the ropes for the lucha arm drag. To the apron and an enziguri by Cara. Cross body from the top by Cara gets 2. Rhodes battles back with a right, dropping Cara. He celebrates and then off the ropes, sloppy counter by Cara. Rhodes goes after the mask, which allows Cara to roll him up for the win.

RATING: *

-Daniel Bryan was backstage, yelling NO at various stagehands.

-We get to see the Wade Barrett Barrage Fight Club video.

-Daniel Bryan came to the ring to loud YES chants. He started in with the NO in retaliation, and noted that not only was he a former World Champion, but that he deserved to be in the WWE title match at SummerSlam. Instead, the woman he was going to marry tries to make him look mentally unstable and is now making him face Kane. Bryan made the mistake of calling Kane “AJ’s Frankenstein boy toy,” which brought out Kane. This also led to AJ coming out, who was there as a special guest of Booker T. She said she made their match at SummerSlam because they’re both gifted athletes and that they cannot keep attacking each other every week. She told Kane it was good to see him again, as it was the first time they’d talked since she had become GM. She appreciated his sweetness when others treated her poorly. She also added that Bryan could prove he doesn’t have anger management issues by shaking Kane’s hand. Bryan eventually offered his hand, but after AJ left the ring and winked at Kane, Kane attacked Bryan. They brawled a bit, Kane sent Bryan packing and AJ laughed on her way to the back. Kane and AJ lock eyes at the end of the segment, oh yeah, she wants some of the Big Red Machine…

-Tyler Reks and Curt Hawkins met with Booker T and teddy Long, seeking an opportunity. Booker noted they may have a bright future, but that they needed to step up their game. He says they could not get the job done against Ryback 2 on 1. Booker wants A PLUS talent, and nothing else will do. Reks says he does not want to go back to his old job, and Booker sends them packing.

Jinder Mahal vs. Jobber #1 and Jobber #2

Bell rings and Mahal talks some trash. Clothesline to Jobber 1. Spinebuster follows. Camel clutch, humbling, that is all.

OFFICIAL RESULT: Jinder Mahal @ :40 via submission
RATING: NR

-Mahal attacks Jobber 2 after the bell, and then locks in a double camel clutch for double the humbling. Ryback then came out, and Mahal wisely bailed. Ryback then fisherman bustered the jobbers at the same time. Feed him more.

-TIME FOR THE HIGHLIGHT REEL! Vickie quickly cut off Jericho, and stated that Ziggler wouldn’t lower himself to appear on Jericho’s show. Jericho was cool with this, and said he could be fine with interviewing “Dolph’s mom.” Jericho said that Vickie looked great for a woman her age and added that it was cool that they were in the ring together for the first time after knowing each other for so long. Vickie warned him that she’d walk if he insulted her one more time, and Jericho then told her to get the hell out if that was the case. He then calmed her down and played the TOUT from Raw, featuring Dolph losing to Riley. It’s the insanely expensive JERITRON “6,000” now. Vickie mocked Jericho for not living up to his reputation, and Jericho said what Dolph said got into his head a bit and that maybe it was time to re-evaluate and that Y2J was back. He accepted the match with Ziggler for Summerslam and ran through some of his old catchphrases. Ziggler then appeared for a sneak attack, they brawled, Vickie slapped Jericho, and Ziggler got the Zig-Zag on Jericho. He then connected with a MITB case shot to the head of Jericho and stood tall as Vickie cackled like the evil manager she is.

-Kofi, Truth and Little Jimmy come out for commentary.

Booker said he wants to keep it fair, and said that Kaitlyn would face Eve next week, and the winner would get the job.
