SmackDown Live opens with an introduction for the new United States Champion, AJ Styles!

AJ says that Battleground came early for him. He says he won’t call himself the Face of America but, seeing as Kevin Owens’ face looks like a monkey’s butt, he is definitely an upgraded.

Styles says that this is about so much more than Owens, or even himself, this is about the US Championship! He says not that long ago there was a man who wanted to prove himself and the US Championship as the very best, and that man issued an open challenge to anyone who wanted a shot. It’s about time we brought that back, because the US Championship has been overlooked for far too long. So tonight is someone’s lucky night because the AJ Styles US Open Challenge, starts now!

Cena comes to the ring, picks up the microphone and accepts Styles’ challenge! A referee is summoned and both men get ready to fight. Just before the bell can ring, Kevin Owens’ music plays and the recently deposed US Champion makes an entrance. He says that nobody wants to see another Cena vs. Styles match and pledges to reclaim his title and proclaims himself to be the rightful owner of the United States Championship.

He then insults Cena and tells the Leader of the Cenation that nobody wants to see him. Cena retorts with a cheesy joke and pledges to run through Styles and Owens. However, to the surprise of the audience, Rusev runs in and the heels layout Styles and Cena. We have our tag team main event.

As we head to commercial, the announcers talk Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Baron Corbin and Jinder Mahal vs. Tye Dillinger, for later tonight!

*Commercial Break*

After the break, The Singh Brothers introduce the WWE Champion, Jinder Mahal, to the ring. His opponent is out next to a good reaction.

Jinder Mahal Vs. Tye Dillinger

Both men lock-up and Mahal forces Dillinger into the corner. Mahal takes the early advantage, but Dillinger comes back with a crossbody. Mahal doesn’t really react to the crossbody and takes Dillinger down with a lariat. Mahal chokes Tye on the ropes and JBL talks about his body as we head to commercial!

*Commercial Break*

The Modern Day Maharaja goes to work on Dillinger, and he hits him with a scoop slam. However, Dillinger reverses an Irish whip and attempts to comeback with ten corner punches. Mahal blocks and knocks the Perfect 10 down with a knee to the jaw. Jinder follows-up with Khallas for the win!

Winner: Jinder Mahal

Mahal then takes the mic and regurgitates his usual spiel. He admonishes Randy Orton for threatening his family and mocks the audience for chanting “USA”. The WWE Champion then promises to show Orton hell and bring the Punjabi Prison to the next episode of SmackDown Live.

The New Day are on their way to the ring as Xavier Woods will face Jey Uso!

*Commercial Break*

Jey Uso Vs. Xavier Woods

Woods starts with a kick to the gut and connects with a flurry of strikes. He positions Jimmy on the ropes, but he’s tripped by Jimmy on the outside, who is in Jey’s corner. Big E and Kofi attempt to protest, but they are thrown out by the referee!

Woods tries to roll Uso up, but he rolls through and superkicks him for a near fall. Uso goes to the top rope and tries for a Superfly Splash, but Woods gets the legs up. Uso drops Woods onto the apron and punches him. Woods kicks him back, and Uso is hung up on the middle rope. Woods goes to the top rope and elbow drops him off the middle rope for the win.

Winner: Xavier Woods

Later tonight, Shinsuke Nakamura will take on Baron Corbin for the first time.

*Commercial Break*

Shane McMahon is talking to Daniel Bryan on the phone, and he tells him no one has asked about James Ellsworth. Naomi comes in. She mentions that Carmella has the Money in the Bank briefcase and can come at her anytime she wants, but who will she be defending the title against? Naomi hopes he doesn’t say Lana again. Charlotte walks in and says if Shane says Lana’s name again, she will have to be banned like Ellsworth or she’ll hurt someone. Becky Lynch says it should be her. Natalya, Lana, and Tamina walk in as well. Shane says they’ll be discussing who is in line to face Naomi. At WWE Battleground, there will be a 5-way Elimination Match with Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Natalya, Tamina, and Lana. The winner will face Naomi for the title at SummerSlam. Charlotte cannot believe Lana is in the match. Natalya says Charlotte got all her opportunities off her family’s accomplishments. Lynch calls Natalya “Bret.” Shane tells them to relax. Tonight, it’ll be Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair taking on Tamina and Natalya. Shane then asks them to leave.

Carmella walks in, and Naomi stares at her. Carmella has a letter from her attorney demanding James Ellsworth be reinstated immediately. Daniel Bryan was out of control last week. Shane pretends to read it and tears it up. He tells her the decision stands. She squeals and walks off. Naomi smiles.

Renee Young is backstage with Mr. Money in the Bank, Baron Corbin. She mentions that Shinsuke Nakamura said he was afraid of him, so last week Corbin attacked him with the briefcase. Nakamura fought him off, and they had to be separated. Clearly Nakamura isn’t afraid of him. Corbin says he’s afraid of what he’ll do to him. Nakamura needs to learn that Corbin is Mr. Money in the Bank. Tonight, it’ll be sayonara, Nakamura. This match is next.
