Smackdown-08.09- Recap and more

08/09/2024

The Original Tribal Chief is back on Smackdown after his epic appearance at SummerSlam.  Reigns, absent since WrestleMania 40, attacked Solo Sikoa, allowing Cody Rhodes to retain the Undisputed Championship. On Smackdown, Reigns manhandled the newer version of the Bloodline. A scheduled match will soon be between Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa for the "name-title" - The Tribal Chief.

LA Knight defeated Logan Paul at SummerSlam to become the new United States Champion.  Now, he will defend the title versus Santos Escobar.  Escobar defeated Andrade in the number one contender's match.  It came with assistance from Carmelo Hayes. Hayes lost twice to Andrade and cannot accept the loss.  

Tiffany Stratton is planning a huge event to celebrate the new Women's Champion, the Queen, Nia Jax. However, since winning the money in the bank briefcase, Chelsea Green has disturbed or aggravated the future star because of jealousy.

If you know WWE and its celebrations, then you already know something will happen at Jax's celebration. We could see a tag team match at Bash in Berlin between Green and Piper Niven vs. Stratton and Jax. Or possibly, Jax's

first title defense could be against Niven since the PLE is in Europe.

It is official! General Manager Aldis made the match with Rhodes's persuasion that Rhodes and Owens will be a match card for the Universal Championship at Bash in Berlin.   

If you pay attention to both Raw and Smackdown, there is a mirror image of both shows.  On Raw, we have Damage CTRL, Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark rivals. On Smackdown, we have Blair Davenport, Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn and Naomi, Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill. There is a strong possibility that the next episodes of both brands may have a six-women tag team match. Sadly, the titles of women's tag teams are unimportant to defend. In the meantime, closely monitor the storylines as we reach the next PLE.
