WWE SmackDown Results 6/24/2022

– Tonight’s WWE SmackDown on FOX opens up with a look at how Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns retained over Riddle in last Friday’s blue brand main event. We also see Brock Lesnar’s big return from last week. We’re now live from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas as Michael Cole welcomes us. He’s joined at ringside by Pat McAfee. They hype Lesnar vs. Reigns in a Last Man Standing match at WWE SummerSlam.

– We go right to the ring and out comes Drew McIntyre as Alicia Taylor does the introduction. McIntyre raises his sword, Angela, in the air as fans cheer him on. We see how Sheamus and McIntyre brawled to a count out in their recent MITB qualifier, and how Adam Pearce put them both in the Men’s Money In the Bank Ladder Match last week.

McIntyre takes the mic and welcomes Austin, and the world, to SmackDown. McIntyre talks about how he recently promised to work his way from the bottom to a title match but Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns keeps ducking him. Drew says it looks like he has to force Reigns’ hand, and to do that he will become Mr. Money In the Bank.

Drew brings up Brock Lesnar’s return and says he did it the Brock Way, which is fine, but Drew will do things his own way, and he hopes Reigns and Lesnar tear each other apart at SummerSlam so he can be waiting with a Claymore Kick. The music interrupts and out comes Sheamus with Ridge Holland and Butch. Sheamus and Drew have some words. Sheamus says Drew is right about SummerSlam being the right time to cash in on Lesnar or Reigns, but Drew is off his rocker if he thinks it will be him to cash in. Sheamus enters the ring and says Drew doesn’t belong as he’s only in the MITB Ladder Match because of Pearce.

Sheamus goes on ranting and reminds everyone how he cashed in on Reigns before. The music interrupts and out comes Paul Heyman to the stage. Pearce is right behind him. Heyman introduces himself and brings up the Lesnar vs. Reigns Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam, which he says will not be won by Brock. Fans boo Heyman. Heyman says we have a problem – even though Reigns is The GOAT, even against Lesnar in this Last Man Standing match, he will be vulnerable to a cash-in attempt. Heyman says Lesnar would also be vulnerable, but he’s not going to win. Heyman points out how Sheamus has previously cashed in, so he’s here tonight to ensure that it won’t happen again.

Fans boo some more. Heyman points to Pearce and praises him, adding that Pearce has a very special announcement to make. Pearce says it’s come to his attention that he was a bit hasty putting them both in the MITB Ladder Match. Pearce says neither man was pinned, but neither won as well, and after some influence by Heyman, WWE management has decide to over-rule his decision. Pearce says neither Sheamus or McIntyre will be in the MITB Ladder Match now. Sheamus and McIntyre seethe in the ring. Pearce then announces that Sheamus and McIntyre can still have a path to the MITB match, if they defeat Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions The Usos tonight. The music hits and out comes The Usos to stand with Heyman and Pearce on the stage. Sheamus and McIntyre look on from the ring as we go to commercial.

– Back from the break and the announcers hype tonight’s main event. Cole clarifies that The Usos will not be defending their titles, and they also will not be trying to qualify for MITB.

Sami says The Bloodline always does what is right for Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and he can say that because he is an honorary member of the group, he’s an honorary Uce. Sami says tonight he’s dedicating his match to Reigns, but better yet, he’s going to Money In the Bank to win the briefcase and… Kayla asks if he’s cashing in on Reigns.

Back from the break and Natalya Rousey is in the ring. She goes on about how Rousey never stops talking about how good she is as The Baddest Woman on The Planet, and how she’s never tapped out like her mommmy. However, she almost did tap out a few weeks back and we’ve got the footage. Natalya Rousey praises Natalya as being brave and courageous, and says when Natalya almost made her tap, she realized two things – the Sharpshooter is way more deadlier than the armbar, and she don’t stand a chance against Natalya at Money In the Bank. Natalya kneels down and taps the mat to tap out ahead of time.

Rousey says she’s not going to hand over her title because Natalya thinks she deserves it.

Rousey enters the ring and says the truth is – Natalya is lacking in natural talent and lacking in charisma, and the closest she will ever get to main eventing in this company is dressing up like Rousey. Rousey says “nice jacket” and then rips the leather jacket off Natalya by her arm. Natalya ends up picking up the baby stroller and beating Rousey into the corner with it. Natalya retreats up the ramp as fans boo her. Rousey raises the title in the air as fans chant her name.

– Kayla Braxton is backstage with Paul Heyman now, asking about using his power to alter the Money In the Bank Ladder Match. Kayla says Heyman may be doing a huge favor for Brock Lesnar. Sami Zayn interrupts and says Heyman doesn’t have to answer any questions from this supposed journalist. Sami says Kayla earlier tried to twist Sami’s words and claim he said he would cash in Money In the Bank on Roman Reigns.

Dupri says Pearce’s inaction prevented the Maximum Male Models from debuting again. Dupri says Pearce is more like a WWE saboteur. Dupri says last week it was the lighting, this week the birthday boy Pearce failed to provide a dressing room. Pearce goes to speak but Dupri yells at him to not interrupt. Dupri says Pearce couldn’t even provide a dressing room at 68.3 degrees, with a refrigerator full of the finest waters, locally sourced from the closest crystal spring. Dupri says they’re not asking for a bowl of green M&M’s or anything, they’re models not monsters. Dupri says if Pearce can’t handle dressing rooms or lighting, then Dupri can’t in his right mind send his models out there tonight to debut. Dupri says Pearce needs to get this right. Pearce assures him next week everything will be good to go. Dupri says next week they will be ready to fulfill the Maximum Male Models mission – to titillate the juices of your guilty pleasures!

– We go back to the ringside area and Pat McAfee is standing on the announce table with a mic. McAfee says one week ago, bum-ass Happy Baron Corbin stumbled his bitch ass over here and said he doesn’t like how McAfee does his job. We see this week’s Progressive Match Flo video, which shows how Madcap Moss defeated Corbin in the Last Laugh match last week. We also see what happened between McAfee and Corbin. McAfee speaks now and says Corbin told him that if they got in the ring, Pat will wish he is dead. McAfee says that’s impossible because he loves his life, so much that when he walked into the WWE ThunderDome for the first time, he felt alive. When he puts on the headset and talks into the mic for “the millions…” members of the WWE Universe, he feels alive. McAfee gave a shout-out to The Rock. He goes on and says while bum-ass Corbin is on the internet acting like he’s not an insufferable douche-bag, how about pondering this… McAfee challenges Corbin to a SummerSlam match. McAfee goes on and says when I kick your teeth down your throat, the only thing McAfee will think is… he feels more alive than he’s ever felt in his entire life, right here at SummerSlam.
