WWE SmackDown kicks off with John Cena starting the show. He says
they are on for SummerSlam. Cena says school is back and running and
now is a good time to give Roman Reigns his report card. He says
Roman is a D, a below average D. A d-head, a d-bag and a
disappointment.
Cena says for 10 years the WWE has been selling Roman Reigns and the
problem is that judging by the numbers, the only one buying is Roman
Reigns. That’s why he came back with a specific agenda. He will give
Roman an F. At SummerSlam, Roman gets an F from John Cena. But he
wants to hear what Tulsa, Oklahoma feels about it.
The fans chant Cena. He says they have a lively class room. He asks
if they think Roman Reigns will beat the hell out of him at
SummerSlam. The crowd jeers. He says Roman will beat the hell out of
him at SummerSlam but he also knows that Roman Reigns will lose at
SummerSlam and there’s nothing he can do about it.
Out comes Roman Reigns to the ring.
-Commercial Break-
Cena thanks Roman for joining them. Roman tells Cena not to waste
his time and to get to it. Cena says he won’t waste his time but he
is going to wait until one week to tomorrow to embarrass him on one
of the biggest events. Roman asks if that’s all he has. Cena says
that’s all he needs. When he looks at Roman, he sees someone who
waltzes around and thinks it’s his show. Thinking that everyone has
to play by his rules, that it’s his company. Everybody knows that it
belongs to the WWE Universe.
John says that’s why he is back. He is the only one that can shut
him up because the WWE has been pushing him for a decade and it’s
one failure after another. And he’s still there because he’s the
best chance they have. He has built such a layer of protection that
no one can get close to him. But they asked Cena to come back and he
will get a piece of humble pie when he beats him at SummerSlam.
He tells Roman that it’s starting to build, it’s either going to be
team Reigns or team Cena. He tells Roman that it’s starting to
build, it’s either going to be team Reigns or team Cena. He says
Tulsa has chosen and Roman is sitting on a small table because he
will be history at SummerSlam.
Roman tells Cena he thought they were going to get something
original, fresh. Instead he makes d jokes, penis jokes. He tells
John to cut him and hit him with good stuff. Cena says Roman will
beat his ass at SummerSlam, spear, spear, big punch after another DC
Superhero, hype man in the corner. Roman will kick his ass at
SummerSlam. Cena says he doesn’t need to prove himself to him and
that’s what is so historic about it. He just needs to pin him 1, 2,
3. And if he can get the title one more time, that would be number
17 for him and that would make him the most decorated champion of
all time.
Cena says as much fun as that would be for him, he is here to help
Roman. Roman says that’s how good Cena is, he is here to help him.
There to help the Tribal Chief. Roman tells him he’s not like Cena.
He does things differently. Roman says that’s John Cena, arguably
the greatest of all time. Underappreciated, not enough respect. He
says Cena has done things that no one has done before. Mount
Rushmore of WWE, he might take every slot. Roman says he is just
proud to say he might beat John Cena. He’s so good he can juggle
Hollywood and WWE. They don’t have enough time on SmackDown to
promote his movies.
Roman says Cena is good, his career says it. He is good enough to
stand in the ring and main event SummerSlam with The Tribal Chief.
He is even good enough to win the WWE Championship but not good
enough to win the Universal Championship.
Roman tells him 20 years of missionary might have been good for him
but it wasn’t good enough for Nikki Bella. Roman says he is going to
smash him, retain the title, pack him up on a private jet and send
him back to Hollywood. But he wants Cena to enjoy it because this
might be the last time we get John Cena ever again. He tells Cena to
take us home.
Cena says if he wants a compelling story, he tells Roman he hasn’t
been embarrassed. He has been protected. A pretty face, giant bars
of soap for teeth, he almost ruined Seth Rollins, ran Dean Ambrose
out of WWE, five WrestleMania main events, Heyman as his lackey but
it’s still not working. Cena asks the fans if they want a compelling
story at SummerSlam. Cena says Roman is right about so much. Cena
will go to a Hollywood set, Roman will smash him but Heyman knows
better than anyone how much punishment he can take and survive. He
built Suplex City. All he needs is a 1, 2, 3 and Roman is the
biggest failure in WWE history.
All Cena needs is a 1, 2, 3 and Roman becomes an answer to a trivia
question. Who did John Cena defeat to become a 17 champion? And Cena
will just hang in there for the 1, 2, 3 and he will take his title,
jump the barricade, run out of the stadium and he may even blow
Roman a kiss good-bye. He says no one can protect Roman anymore. At
SummerSlam, the champ is gone, 1, 2, 3. Cena drops the microphone
and leaves the ring.

-Commercial Break-
Out comes Seth Rollins to the ring. He tells Tulsa they have been on
fire tonight. He says he hates to play the role of party pooper but
his sources have told him that Edge will not be there tonight. The
fans boo. He says he is as disappointed as they are because he would
love nothing more than to put his fist in Edge’s face after the lies
Edge said about him last week.
The fans chant We Want Edge. Seth says he wants him too but
according to Edge, the fans have got the next best thing, they got
Edge Lite. He says Edge had the nerve to call him Edge Lite but it
makes perfect sense because Edge is a Hall of Famer, he has done
everything there is to do in WWE. Seth says Edge can’t stand the
fact that his career has been a little bit better than his. That
everything Edge has done, he has done better. He says it’s not just
his opinion, they have video proof of that. And he has taken the
liberty of putting together a career retrospective of himself and of
Edge.
A narrated video plays comparing both of their careers with Seth’s
career being more prominent.
Seth says he sees no lies in the video. Seth says as he watched it,
he had a revelation. Seth states that Edge should be thanking him,
not just Edge but everyone should be thanking him. Seth says this
dream match would not be on the table had he attacked Edge back in
2014.
He mentions that Edge’s comeback would not have happened had he
stomped on Edge’s neck. Seth says Edge has put himself between
himself and the Universal Championship too many times. That has
compromised his future and the future of his family.
Seth looks at the camera and says this is not 2014 anymore. Time’s
have changed, he has changed. And at SummerSlam he will not
hesitate, he will not hold back. He will stomp his head into mat and
if that puts him out for good, then so be it. He drops the
microphone and heads to the back.

down. And because of that, this is the last time he is publicly

minimum of $1000 each. He says he has a credit card scanner in his
phone. Out comes Kevin Owens to the ring.

scanner works with Canadian credit cards. Owens says he is not here
to help him, he needs to stop begging these people and he needs to
stop embarrassing himself. Owens says he tried to help him a few
weeks ago. He is someone who made mistakes in the past and learned
from them but all Corbin is trying to do is use people’s sympathy.
Owens says a few weeks ago, Corbin used Finn’s title chance. And on
Raw, when Drew McIntyre was trying to help him, he asked him for
$100,000. Corbin asks Owens for his spare change. He says he is not
leaving this arena tonight before Owens gives him a minimum of $1000
as Owens says he will give him the money.
He asks the crowd and they cheer. Owens says he will give him the
money but all he has to do is beat him in a match right now and
Owens will give him a thousand dollars. But if Corbin loses, this
all has to stop. Corbin accepts but tells Owens that he would not be
in this situation if Owens was not such a cheap piece of… And Owens
