WWE SMACKDOWN LIVE RESULTS: MONEY IN THE BANK GO-HOME SHOW
BY STEVE KHAN | @shk66 | JUN 13, 2017 4:47 PM
Date: June 13, 2017
Location: Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA
The Big Takeaway --
Not much happened on the go-home show for Money in the Bank. Randy Orton laid out Jinder Mahal with an RKO, Zack Ryder returned, Sami Zayn pinned Baron Corbin again in the 6-man tag main event, and the show ended with Shinsuke Nakamura holding up the MITB briefcase.
Show Recap --
The SmackDown intro starts with Jinder Mahal. Chris Jericho is still featured in there as well. The announcers plugged the 6-man tag match, 8-man tag match, and the face-off between Mahal and Randy Orton.
New Day came out to start and they had a live band play them to the ring here in New Orleans. The band is called The Soul Rebels and Kofi Kingston gave them a shout out. Xavier Woods said they would beat the Usos for the titles and bring them back to New Orleans for WrestleMania.
Woods also made a joke about The Usos being an off, off, off, off, off-broadway version of Straight Outta Compton, so that brought out the champs, but they were quickly interrupted by Breezango. Breeze said the Usos’ day one was “G” for “gross.” The Colons came out next and called the Fashion Police the worst detectives ever and questioned their fashion sense. Big E cut them off and now it’s time for the match. This was the entire opening segment. Not a great start.
8-man tag match: The New Day (w/Big E) & Breezango defeated The Usos & The Colons
Kingston had the match won over the Usos with Trouble in Paradise but the cover was broken up. New Day picked up the win anyway with a combo double footstomp (Woods nailed the footstomp with Primo hunched over Kingston’s knee). Nothing match that managed to go almost 15 minutes and through a commercial break. SmackDown was 1/4 finished by the time this was all done.
“Free agent” John Cena returns on July 4.
Backstage, AJ Styles warned Shinsuke Nakamura that Sami Zayn gets a little overexcited. Zayn showed up right then, of course. Styles was right, Zayn went overboard trying to talk strategy. Nakamura wasn’t sure what to make of him. When Zayn finally left, Nakamura told Styles, “I like him,” which got a laugh from the crowd.
Elsewhere, Mojo Rawley owned up to his loss last week and put over Mahal as being a different guy lately. Rawley said he would bounce back and the best has yet to come. Suddenly, Zack Ryder showed up behind him with a big smile. He said they had unfinished business as a team and they embraced.
Non-title match: Women’s champion Naomi defeated Tamina
Lana made her way to the ring before the match started, wearing what looks like the same dress as last week. A few fans chanted, “We want Rusev.” Naomi won in 5 minutes with a split-legged moonsault. Tamina looked bad and struggled her way through Naomi’s comeback.
Lana attacked Naomi afterwards and crushed her with a sitout spinebuster.
Jinder Mahal/Randy Orton Confrontation
Mahal and the Singh Brothers came out first. Mahal demanded the crowd to get to their feet and show him respect. He said he would beat Randy Orton in his hometown in front of Cowboy Bob and other WWE legends. Mahal called Orton a coward for not coming down as soon as he mentioned his father. Mahal called this the era of the Modern Day Maharajah. He spoke in Punjabi which brought some “USA” chants.
Orton’s music hit, so Mahal sent the Singh brothers up the ramp. Orton, in his wrestling gear, appeared from behind and nailed Mahal with an RKO. The Singh brothers checked on Mahal as Orton posed in the crowd.
Kevin Owens approached Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler in the locker room. Owens doesn’t like either of them, but noted they can either work together and take out their opponents, or they can trade moves on each other and head into MITB worse off than before. Owens left as the other two considered his advice.
Orton told Renee Young that the time for talking was over and he would take back what’s his in St. Louis.
Charlotte Flair defeated Natalya
They showed a replay of Charlotte powerbombing Natalya through a table two weeks ago. Natalya marched out to the ring with a purpose. One of the facts to appear during Charlotte’s entrance was, “The Queen of WWE.”
Charlotte barely hit a moonsault and Natalya kicked out. Natalya followed with a sitout powerbomb for a nearfall. Charlotte fought out of a Sharpshooter and nailed a big boot for two. Charlotte then kicked Natalya's leg out of her leg and hit Natural Selection for the win.
Fashion Files: Sweet Victory
Fandango found Breeze laid out in their office. Breeze said he was attacked by two monsters with greasy hair, super dry skin, and two arms. Fandango drew a sketch as Breeze described his attackers. They left together and the camera revealed Fandango’s sketch was of two stick figures.
They aired a video of a young fan getting to meet the wrestlers before the show. He also got to run down to the ring as the wrestlers cheered him on, and he received a custom WWE title belt from Stephanie McMahon.
Lana told Dasha Fuentes she doesn’t care what people think of her. She will shock the world and crush Naomi on Sunday.
Zack Ryder, Mojo Rawley, Jinder Mahal and Shinsuke Nakamura will be on Talking Smack with Renee Young and JBL.
6-man tag match: Sami Zayn, AJ Styles & Shinsuke Nakamura defeated U.S. champion Kevin Owens, Baron Corbin & Dolph Ziggler
The heels worked over Nakamura briefly until he made a hot tag to Styles. Styles hit Ziggler with a fireman’s carry neckbreaker but Owens broke up the cover, so Zayn took him out with a flip dive. Corbin hit Zayn with Deep Six but Nakamura broke up the cover heading to commercial.
The crowd chanted for Zayn who was being worked over after the break. He hit a nice Blue Thunder Bomb on Owens but Corbin cut him off before he could tag out. Zayn caught him with a hard clothesline and cleared the ring of his opponents. He tried to make a hot tag but his partners were yanked off the apron. Styles caught Corbin with a forearm and Zayn nailed Corbin with a Helluva Kick for the win.
Ziggler immediately attacked Styles and Zayn afterwards. Owens and Ziggler used a ladder on both men as well. Corbin jumped in pushed Owens into Ziggler, then attacked them with the ladder. Corbin set up the ladder and began climbing it for some reason, but Nakamura pushed the ladder down and hit Corbin with Kinshasa. Finally, Nakamura climbed the ladder and (eventually) grabbed the briefcase.

WWE 205 LIVE RESULTS: AKIRA TOZAWA VS. TJP
BY JEREMY PEEPLES | @jeremy_PEEPLES | JUN 13, 2017 8:31 PM
The Big Takeaway --
Titus O'Neil played babyface by cheering on Akira Tozawa and believing in him, while Cedric Alexander's never-ending issues with Noam Dar continued.
Austin Aries said that he's out of action due to neck and leg problems that weren't fully explained, and Jack Gallagher saved him from an attack by Tony Nese.
Show Recap --
Akira Tozawa taped up and Titus O'Neil said it's time for cha-cha-cha-ching! O'Neil said he's pulled some strings and got Tozawa in the main event tonight against TJP. O'Neil cut Tozawa off and said it will be raining yen.
Corey Graves introduced Vic Joseph as his new commentary partner and we were told that Austin Aries will talk to the fans tonight. Cedric Alexander came out with his rather slick rash guard and we got a recap of last night's awful Facetime stuff with Alicia Fox.
Ariya Daivari entered and was basically playing his brother's Lucha Underground character.
Cedric Alexander defeated Ariya Daivari
Alexander and Daivari started off with a striking stalemate. Alexander landed a big apron punch, but he got tripped up and ate the buckle. Daivari locked on a chinlock before turning it into a flying neckbreaker for two.
Alexander landed some nasty chops and uppercuts before eating a big knee that got two. Alexander hit the leg-catching spinning back elbow and a springboard Hart Attack for a near fall -- with the ref's hand briefly slapping down for three.
Noam Dar came down with Alicia Fox on the tron via Facetime. Alexander is one of WWE's smarter babyfaces and chose to beat up Dar. He then finished Daivari with a Lumbar Check. Fox called him a loser and Alexander teased destroying the phone, but he instead just hung up the call. Thank goodness.
Austin Aries made his way to the ring and we got a recap of his losses to Neville. Aries said he's glad to be back in New Orleans, but he works hard to be a champion and is disappointed. He said that when it counted most, he didn't get the job done, but that's okay, everyone's been there. You just get up and keep going.
He mentioned that there are rumors that he's stepping away. He said that due to his knee and neck, he isn't medically cleared. Tony Nese came out in a ridiculous looking neon green pair of trunks and tattered vest. They went back and forth before Jack Gallagher came out to help Aries. He told some jokes before beating up Nese with his umbrella.
Rich Swann told TJP that he looked good against Neville, but he took too many shortcuts. He wants TJ Perkins to be back and take care of business since TJP doesn't.
A Mustafa Ali video package showed him looking outstanding before a Drew Gulak video aired that buried dives. Ali will face Gulak next week and Nese will face Gallagher as well.
TJP was out first for the main event, followed by Tozawa.
Akira Tozawa defeated TJP
TJP went for a sunset flip, but he ate a buzzsaw kick for two. O'Neil was backstage actually watching a TV in a way that a human being could view it. TJP choked Tozawa and raked his face. He got two off of a back springboard forearm.
TJP grounded him with a modified standing Indian deathlock before working on the arm. Tozawa recovered enough to send TJP to the floor and hit a suicide dive headbutt variant. TJP landed the double chickenwing gutbuster for two before locking on the kneebar.
Tozawa got a cradle, then ate a jumping spin kick before spiking TJP with a Saito suplex. He landed the senton off the top to win the match. O'Neil sung that it's raining yen before Neville gave him the evil eye and said he's spouting drivel and setting Tozawa up to fail.
Neville said that Tozawa isn't on the Neville level, and O'Neil said that the Titus Brand is about the future and Tozawa is the future of 205 Live.
This was a you know what good babyface manager promo by O'Neil.
