WWE SmackDown Live Results 9/6 - Bloodline Eight-Man Tag Match, Bayley Vs. Tiffany Stratton, More

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live results of "WWE SmackDown" on September 6, 2024 — the last episode of the blue brand airing on Fox — coming to you from Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada!

Tonight's main event is an eight-man tag team match that will see all four members of The New Bloodline, under the leadership of Solo Sikoa, in action at the same time, as Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and WWE Tag Team Champions Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa, team up against two teams of former tag champs, DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) and The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford). DIY had been enjoying their first taste of main roster gold before Tonga and Fatu took their titles; Loa was later given Fatu's belt before he and Tonga — known during their New Japan Pro-Wrestling careers as The Guerrillas of Destiny — won their first defense against the Profits. The match won't be the only time audiences spend with Sikoa, who is also set for a confrontation with Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, who Sikoa failed to dethrone at SummerSlam.

In other action, Bayley returns to the ring for the first time since losing her WWE Women's Championship to Nia Jax at SummerSlam. The former champ will take on Jax's supposed friend, Money In The Bank briefcase holder Tiffany Stratton, who attacked Bayley's ally Michin last week. Former Imperium member Giovanni Vinci is also set to make his debut as a main roster singles star.

We are live with Michael Cole and Corey Graves, and Bayley is here! Giovanni Vinci arrives as well, and Cody Rhodes is shown signing autographs before we go to a recap video package for his championship match against Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin. And now "Kingdom" plays, and Rhodes makes his way to the ring!

Cody Rhodes, shockingly, begins by asking Edmonton what they want to talk about. He acknowledges the size of the crowd, then reminds us that he was victorious against Kevin Owens at Bash in Berlin. The crowd starts up a "KO" chant. Cody welcomes Michael Cole back to "SmackDown," the crowd chants "welcome back" (less loudly). Cody then acknowledges that he's going to be interrupted at any minute, so before that can happen, he extends an invitation to The Bloodline, and on cue, Solo Sikoa's music hits.

Sikoa asks Cody if he's done running his mouth and playing around. Crowd starts chanting "We want Roman." Sikoa asks if Cody is ready to defend the title against a real challenger like Sikoa. Everyone knows he could have been champion at SummerSlam if it wasn't for Roman Reigns. So he deserves a rematch.

Cody says there certainly should be a title match next week, and Cody runs down several accolades and says "you deserve a championship match," but then reveals he's talking about Jacob Fatu, telling him to "step up." Crowd starts chanting "step up." There's a tense staredown between Sikoa and Fatu, Fatu yells that he loves Solo and Solo is his tribal chief. He then steps down off the apron. Cody says it worth a shot and that he' be crazy to fight any of them, but he says the WWE revolves around his championship. Cody says maybe one day he'll be left laying by Sikoa's iron thumb, but it won't be next week. Sikoa says that if Cody wants him next week, he's on, but The Bloodline doesn't have to wait for next week. The rest of The Bloodline comes down to attack Cody, but The Street Profits and DIY slide into the ring to even the odds.

All this brings out Nick Aldis, who tells everyone to calm down while the crowd chants "let them fight." Aldis says The Bloodline, The Profits can tear each other apart in the main event, but not now. Aldis confirms Rhodes vs. Sikoa for the title next week, but says the whole Bloodline numbers game thing is getting old and bad for business. He announces the match next week will take place in a steel cage.

Tiffany Stratton is backstage hanging out with Pretty Deadly, who are excited about the USA Network premiere next week. Nia Jax enters and says a lot of people in the locker room are saying Tiffany was going to cash in on her last week. Stratton says you can't trust anyone and asks Jax to be in her corner tonight. Jax says maybe she'll be in Stratton's corner just like Stratton was in hers, and walks away.

Bayley's music hits, and her match with Stratton is next!

Bayley hits a suicide dive on Jax and rolls back into the ring, but Stratton takes advantage.

A video package airs highlighting numerous big moments on "SmackDown" during its Fox tenure. Afterward, LA Knight makes his way to the ring.

The crowd goes wild for Knight, including "LA Knight" chants. Knight requests to talk to ya. He hypes up his two successful US title defenses. Knight says he went from DC to Berlin to right here in "the big E," and no matter where you go, everybodyn wants the US title. Knight runs down a list of people who want to take the title, but nah-nah, he won't letcha. This brings out Carmelo Hayes, who asks Knight if he's really bragging about two title defenses. If anybody should be bragging it should be Hayes, because he's been stealing the show and carrying "SmackDown" on his back while Knight has just run his mouth. Knight should realize that Hayes has two straight victories over Andrade, which he sees as making him next in line for the US title.

Knight says two defenses is important because that's way more than his predecessor. Knight says he doesn't worry about match of the night, he worries about winning, which is why he's champion. Now Andrade walks out onto the stage wearing a suit. Andrade tells Melo "tranquilo." Andrade reminds Hayes that he also beat Hayes twice in a row. Hayes says nobody remembers, but Andrade says he does and everybody does. Andrade has a question — does Hayes think he deserves a US title shot? Hayes says yes, but Andrade says he deserves it.

Andrade says the title was his once; Knight says "was" is the key word. Andrade begins speaking in Spanish and saying he's the next US Champion. Knight says he doesn't know what Andrade said but he'd better check his town. Hayes butts into the conversation and Andrade pushes Melo into Knight, who hits the BFT on Andrade. Hayes starts taunting Andrade; Knight goes to leave, but then comes back and hits the BFT on Melo, as well.
