WWE Smackdown Recap (6/9): Ambrose Vs. Jericho, Enzo & Cass Vs. The Club, Becky Lynch, Dana Brooke
Welcome to our WrestlingINC.com Live SmackDown Viewing Party. Please enter your ongoing feedback of tonight's show in the 'Comments' section below.
- The Club is out to open the show. AJ Styles said that when he came to the WWE, he made sure to let the company know that they were a package deal. They talk a little trash, but Enzo & Cass interrupt, to a huge ovation. Cass calls Anderson and Gallows the "Mr. Clean Dream Team." Anderson says Enzo managed a Hooters, which Enzo confirms. Enzo says he wishes he could walk a mile in Anderson's shoes so he could be a mile away. Gallows says Enzo went to sleep on the job in his last big money match.
Enzo & Cass vs. The Club (w/ AJ Styles)
New Day joins commentary for the match as Anderson runs over Enzo. The Club work over Enzo on their half of the ring, hanging him up in a tree of woe as New Day put themselves over on commentary. Enzo snaps Karl Anderson's neck over the top rope and sends Gallows over the rail, but gets caught by Karl Anderson trying to make a tag. The Vaudevillains show up on the ramp as we go to a commercial.
Enzo hits a flying DDT and tags in Cass. Big Cass clotheslines everyone to set up a fallaway slam, splash in the corner and big boot on Anderson. Gallows breaks up the count after an Empire Elbow and gets booted out of the ring. The Vaudevillains come to ringside, but New Day make the save. All hell breaks loose and the match is thrown out.
Official Result: No Contest
Enzo and Cass and New Day stand tall to end the segment.
- Lana and Rusev are in the back, and Lana says Rusev hasn't been running from Titus because champions don't do that. Rusev says that he is a much better champion than Muhammad Ali ever was. Titus O'Neil pops up, and can't believe Rusev would mention himself in the same breath as Ali, and says he's taking the title.
Cesaro & Sami Zayn vs. Alberto Del Rio & Kevin Owens
Zayn hits several arm drags on Owens. Del Rio is tagged in and handles Zayn, but Cesaro yanks him off the top rope after being tagged in. Kevin Owens leaves, then Sami Zayn follows and chases him away. Cesaro somersault sentons Del Rio as we go to commercial. Zayn drags Owens back out, but he and Del Rio get into it, allowing Cesaro to beat up Del Rio. Owens superkicks Cesaro, but gets suplexed by Zayn. ADR kicks Zayn, but Cesaro scores a pop-up European uppercut. Del Rio gets a double foot stomp, but Owens tosses him out and takes the pin.
Winners: Kevin Owens & Alberto Del Rio via pinfall (double foot stomp)
Becky Lynch (w/ Natalya) vs. Dana Brooke (w/ Charlotte)
Becky chases Dana out of the ring, but gets clocked back in the ring. Dana does a handstand elbow drop for some reason, then turns the tides on Becky again by dropping her head over the top rope. All of the women start going at it, and Natalya and Charlotte get ejected. Becky Lynch applies the Disarmor and gets the win.
Winner: Becky Lynch via submission (Disarmor)
- New Darren Young/Bob Backlund segment. Backlund says he saves money by just wearing the same outfit.
- Dolph Ziggler comes out to do commentary on the next match.

Winner: Baron Corbin via pinfall (End of Days)
- Sheamus is backstage with Zack Ryder, Summer Rae and Golden Truth bragging that he's an A-list star. Apollo Crews shows up and clocks Sheamus.
Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho
This is every Ambrose/Lesnar match you've ever seen. The action spills outside and Jericho catapults Ambrose off of an announce table onto the barricade. The two battle back and forth with the usual spot, except Jericho lands a nice second rope enziguri on Ambrose for a two count. Jericho picks up the win with a Codebreaker.
Winner: Chris Jericho via pinfall (Codebreaker)
Jericho tries to attack Ambrose with a ladder, but gets beat up so nobody gets over.
