WWE Friday Night Smackdown 6/4/2021

Last week's show is here: https://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2021/05/wwe-friday-night-smackdown-5282021.html

Roman Reigns and Heyman came out to start the show.

Roman said he changed his mind about the Uso's getting a tag title match tonight. Roman said if Jimmy says he's gonna win, he better win. He called for Heyman to bring the Uso's out and they did.

Jimmy said they would win the tag title tonight. Roman again told him to make sure they win and said their whole family is watching and to bring him the titles when it is done. They then said the tag title match is next.

WWE Smackdown Tag Titles - Rey and Dominic Mysterio (c) vs The Uso Brothers

Dom hit a nice dropkick early then they double hiptossed Jimmy. Dom then powerbombed Rey onto him. Rey got double team stun gunned and really bounced for it as Roman watched on from the back. Rey got beat up for it a bit and tried to slide out on an Uso, but was caught and death valley drivered onto the table. We went to break and the beating continued as we returned.

Rey was in the corner and Jey tried to spear him, but in one swoop, Rey jumped over top of his spear to dropkick Jimmy, taking out both. Dom got the hot tag in and did a messy walk up the ropes tornado ddt. The Uso'd did a nice pop-up into a samoan drop on Dom for 2. Dom botched a roll through a superkick, the Usos both went out then Rey hit la silla on Jey. Dom blocked a Jimmy splash with his knees and rolled him up for the win. Jimmy had his shoulder up on the pin and they pointed it out but the match was finalized.

As usual, this was a decent tag match. Not something you would remember and Dom did have some sloppy moments but it was good.

Roman was shown getting angry in the back and told Paul to bring them to him.

Roman and the Uso's talked in the back. Jimmy said his shoulder was up and Roman didn't want to hear it. Roman said the show isn't over and they need to go down to Adam Pearce and get this fixed tonight. Roman confused the two brothers and Jey got mad at it. Roman said it doesn't matter with the way things are going.

Seth Rollins was interviewed by Kayla Braxton. She showed Seth beating up Cesaro and wanted to know what happens when Cesaro returns. Seth grabbed his earpiece mic and gave it back to her.

Chad Gable talked to The Street Profits. Chad said they are performing poorly lately and offered his services to help them get back on track. They laughed at him and say it is was a hard no.

The Uso's talked to Sonya and Pearce in the back.

Pearce said the ref's made a mistake and they would review the footage tonight.

Liv Morgan vs Carmella

They said Liv will be going at this alone but didn't mention it is because Ruby Riott got fired. Liv said Carmella is a 7 but a boot in her face will make her a 10. Wouldn't that make her less than a 7?

Liv pulled her out early and threw her into the rails. She then banged her head off the apron several times. Carmella came back with back elbows. Carmella got her face rammed into the middle buckle and seemed to have slipped during it. Liv then got stuck on the middle rope and was slammed down. Carmella hit the code of silence and won in a quick one.

Carmella made the announcer call her the most beautiful woman in WWE.

Sonya and Pearce talked to the Mysterio's as they were leaving. Pearce said they would rematch tonight. McAfee called the ref's mess up a massive "botch".

Bianca came out to talk about Bayley. She said people like Bayley have been trying to bring her down since she was a kid. She challenged Bayley for the Hell in the Cell. This is the feud that never ends. Bayley appeared on the screen laughing. She said she was here on satellite in a room filled with photos of her as champ. She accepted the challenge and said she won't be the only one laughing. Bayley then appeared all over the various trons laughing. I'd like to know how Bayley got control of all the trons to put her face on it. At least with The Fiend, you can explain it as him having some type of super power.

The Street Profits talked to Otis in the back. Otis said they need to apologize to Chad. They refused and said Chad is holding them back. Otis slapped Ford and pushed Dawkins into a box on wheels. 

Shinsuke Nakamura with Rick Boogz vs King Corbin

Pat McAfee really does a nice job of selling Boogz's guitar work. Corbin went after Nak early and he kneed him as he was laying on the top rope. Corbin went outside and nailed Boogz with a lariat then ate an STO when he came back in. Corbin ducked a kick and pulled Nak down for the win out of nowhere in a short waste of time. Corbin then took his crown back and tried to run but Boogz grabbed him. Nak high kicked him and put the crown on.

Owens got nailed by Azeez's boot in the back. He had his head banged off a box and had the box rammed into him. Crews then laughed.

WWE Intercontinental Championship - Apollo Crews (c) with Commander Azeez vs Kevin Owens

KO is limping to ringside and is taking the match like an idiot instead of waiting until next week. Crews goes after KO's injured ribs early then Owens bounces off the buckles as he is thrown in.

Owens comes back with a lariat and a senton then Crews took a hard ride over the top. KO tried to run the ropes but couldn't as his ribs hurt too much in a nice sell job. Crews pulled him down on the apron then hit an angle slam on the floor.

We went to break and returned with Crews working the ribs more. Owens was suplexed around. Owens went for a swanton from the top but Crews got his knees up then hit a hard straightjacket german for 2. Kevin came back with a pop-up powerbomb for 2. Crews then hit a death valley driver on the apron on him for the win. This was a pretty good match all things considered. Crews did a nice job working the ribs and they were pretty stiff with each other.

Sami Zayn ran to the ring after and nailed Owens.

We cut to the Street Profits in the back for the 3rd time tonight. Dawkins told Otis to stay away and mind his own business, Ford said they will send him back to the dump where he belongs.

The Uso's were hyping each other up in the back.

WWE Smackdown Tag Team Titles - The Mysterio's (c) vs The Uso's

All right, let's try this again. Jey trapped Dom in the corner and Jimmy jumped over Jey to forearm Dom. Jey hit a stiff backdrop into a cutter then tope'd Dom outside as we go to break.

Back from break and Jey is pounding on Dom. Rey got the hot tag in and hit some nice strikes and a springboard crossbody on Jimmy. Rey did his sliding splash to Jimmy on the floor.

Rey 619'd Jimmy. Dom was up on the ropes then Roman Reigns came in and superman punched Dom for the DQ. Roman then hit a hard spear on Rey. Roman then threw Rey into the stairs and barricade then threw Dom into the barricade too. Roman then nailed Dom hard with the steps. Roman pounded on Dom and guillotine choked him. Jimmy told Roman to let him go and said "not like this". Jimmy called for Jey to come with him then Roman got up in Jey's face before poundong on Dom more. Rey then hit Dom with a big powerbomb to close the show.

Overall thoughts: There were 2 pretty good matches here but the ending to the main was really lame. Seth's character continues to fail and the end endless rematches are getting tiresome.
