In-Ring: Pat McAfee, Happy Corbin

WWE SmackDown kicks off with Michael Cole in the ring. He introduces the person who has signed a multi-year contract extension with the WWE, Pat McAfee. He gets in the ring as both men hug and Cole leaves the ring.

Pat says it’s an honor to be inside Orlando tonight. The fans chant “Pat” as he gets on the second rope and cheers. Pat says he would like to take this moment to apologize to the entire WWE Universe because his absence last week forced everyone to have to listen to Corey Graves for two hours and bum ass Corbin for 17 minutes. We go to the big screen as we see why he missed last week’s SmackDown.

A clip of Corbin attacking McAfee after WWE Money in the Bank airs. We see the clips of Corbin air-guitaring on the announce table last week. Pat says the best thing that bum ass Corbin has ever done in WWE is celebrate Shinsuke the way Shinsuke deserves to be celebrates.

Pat says his neck was bruised and he is able to come out tonight, for the next few years on a new contract and he knew bum ass Corbin long before anyone did. They were actually room mates as rookies with the Colts. He says Corbnin had hair, had a bad body, only had one bad tattoo and as soon as he stepped foot in WWE, he became an insufferable douchebag who would do anything for a dollar. The fans chant “douche bag Corbin” as Pat says it’s not TV-14 yet.

McAfee says but at SummerSlam, he will beat the hell and humble him back into being a good member of society. He has been on an island getting ready to smack the bad tattoo’s off Corbin. As he is talking, Corbin is on the titantron. He tells Pat that he is glad that he is back. But it’s a shame that he’s too stupid to stay in his own lane. What he has to do is take a seat behind that commentary table where he belongs. He says it was easy to drop him in Las Vegas because he is a fighter and Pat used to punt footballs.

Corbin says he would come out but he has contracted something nasty and it was either because he was in his seat or because he was too close to the WWE Universe. Corbin shows his right arm which is red and he tells Pat it looks like he has monkey pox or something but that he will see him at SummerSlam.

Pat says that’s not monkey pox, that’s Corbin being allergic to being great and being in front of the electrifying WWE Universe in the sunshine state. Pat says since Corbin won’t come out, the show will go on. He introduces the SmackDown Women’s Champion, Liv Morgan.

Kayla is in the ring with Liv and she says that her win against Natalya was not as dominant as last week’s win by Ronda Rousey. Liv says she fully understands what Kayla is insinuating. She is aware that she is walking into her own match at SummerSlam as the underdog. But she has been the underdog her whole entire life. Call her what you want but at SummerSlam, you’ll still be able to call her the SmackDown Women’s Champion.

Backstage: Theory, Paul Heyman

They cut backstage and Megan is with Theory. He tells her that he is the youngest Money in the Bank of all time. Including the youngest Intercontinental Champion of all time. He says with great power, comes great responsibility. He says he has enemies everywhere.

In comes Paul Heyman who tells Megan she is doing a great job, better than Kayla. He asks her if she can give him a moment with Theory.

Heyman extends his arm as Theory shakes it. Heyman says Theory knows that Heyman knows that Theory knows that he is responsible for the biggest break of his career. And that they know that deep down, this whole theory of cashing in the contract at Roman at SummerSlam makes no sense at all. Heyman says what about the box office or the 15% failure. Heyman tells him to work with him and he can work with the Tribal Chief, that way they can work on a special title match. Theory against Reigns for the Undisputed title. The box office, the money involved. And all he has to do is not cash in at SummerSlam and to let Heyman handle everything for him.

Theory thanks him and says he always has good advice but he is either going to cash in on Brock Lesnar or Roman Reigns and become the youngest WWE Undisputed Universal Champion. And maybe he will need a special council when he hires Heyman. Theory walks away as Heyman is not amused.

In-Ring: The New Day, The Viking Raiders, Jinder Mahal & Shanky

Out come Kofi and Xavier Woods, dressed as the Viking Raiders. Woods is dressed as Erik and Kofi as Ivar. Woods begins to speak and Kofi asks him why he sounds like a pirate. Woods says he is not good at accents. Kofi says instead of reverting to tactics instead of honor and respect, they played a lot of Assassin’s Creed on Playstation 5 and they watched all of the Thor movies. They resorted to underhanded tactics to try and scare their opponents.

As they are talking, out come the Viking Raiders. Erik says they are new and vicious. Ivar says when they get to the ring, the only words left to describe them will be mangled and broken.

Backstage: Gunther, Ludwig Kaiser

Kayla is backstage with Ludwig Kaiser and Gunther. They air clips of last week’s match between Shinsuke Nakamura and Ludwig Kaiser.

In-Ring: Lacey Evans

She says she served her country, she put her life on the line for everyone. As she is talking, the fans chant “you suck”. She says she overcame obstacles that would easily crush the average American and she is slightly disgusted as the lack of appreciation.

Evans says she is an American hero. She is the prime example of what they should be and what they can’t be. And they hate it. Lacey says she knows she has offended them but from the bottom of her heart, she wants to apologize to anyone she may have offended. The fans boo. Lacey tells them to go to hell. She leaves the ring and walks to the back.

He tells her she is still better than Kayla and asks if she can leave them alone. He shakes Madcap’s hand. He tells him Madcap knows, that he knows, that Madcap knows that he is responsible for his biggest break. And what they all know is Theory has in mind that he will cash in on Roman but that doesn’t make business sense.

The money, the prestige, what it can do to his career. To have him main event an Undisputed Universal title match against Roman Reigns.
