That's all from us at SK folks...hope you enjoyed our coverage of SD Live as much as we did, bring it to you! 

Until next time, SK Out \m/
...
That was a fast-paced, intriguing and well-executed match indeed. Styles and Zayn had palpable ring chemistry and to be fair to him, Baron Corbin handled himself pretty well too!

Great way to close out SD...even as a feud between Styles and Owens looms. 
...
That leaves AJ Styles unattended behind his back to come at Zayn with a Phenomenal Forearm! Cover! 1-2-3!

AJ Styles def Sami Zayn and Baron Corbin to become the new No.1 Contender for the United States Championship!
...
All three men are in the ring now, exchanging blows and kicks with one another! Zayn wrests the initiative and lays out Styles with a kick to the chest and knocks Corbin out of the ring with a Helluva Kick against the ropes!
...
Styles comes on strong now, as he kicks Corbin on the face with a scissors kick and follows up with a 450 off the ropes! Cover! 1,2..Sami Zayn breaks up the count just in the nick of time!

Breathless action here! 
...
Zayn pushes Corbin out of the ring, before hitting a picture perfect Blue Thunder Bomb on Styles...cove! 1,2, Near fall! Thwarted but not discouraged, Zayn sets Styles up on the turnbuckle for a Super plex, but Corbin inserts himself into the mix.

Zayn reverses by rolling up Corbin but the Lone Wolf kicks out at 2 and a half!
...
Zayn then hits an Exploder suplex on Corbin, but eats a Ushigaroshi from Styles [ I miss Ranallo :( ] But it's Corbin's turn to unleash a Clothesline from hell of his own, as he sends AJ Styles somersaulting through the air with the impact.
...
Styles rallies with a couple of right hands, but is taken out with a punishing clothesline from Corbin. But Zayn has apparently had enough and absolutely decks Corbin with a clothesline of his own.
...
Zayn fights back against Corbin, but eats a sideslam for his troubles. Corbin then turns his attention to Styles, who he levels with a big boot to the chest. Cover! 1-2-kickout!

The ominous, ominous Lone Wolf.
...
We cut back from the break with Corbin ragdolling both Zayn and Styles. He's looking awfully strong here...hope this means that he's losing the match. Nothing against Corbin, but what I would give to see another Zayn  - Owens feud!
...
...
He tries to follow up with a Suicide Dive, but Corbin catches his leg even as he runs the rope and yanks him outside. Styles comes at Corbin next, only to be sidestepped and met with a punishing elbow.

Zayn meanwhile hits a rope-assisted Moonsault on both of them off the ring apron. Sweet.
...
Zayn is back in quickly though, and goes right after Corbin. Styles also gets in, and both of them manage to send the Lone Wolf over the top rope. 

The ring is Styles' and Zayn's. Duelling chants in the crowd as they go back and forth, before Sami sends Styles out of the ring with a drop kick.

 
...
Ding, ding, ding. The match kicks off. 

All three men seem wary of one another but it's Zayn and Styles who briefly work together to lay out Baron Corbin. Oops. Reversal as Corbin hits a double suplex to both of them, before clearing ring.
...
Main Event: Number One Contender Triple Threat Match for the US Title - Sami Zayn vs Baron Corbin vs AJ Styles
Zayn makes his way out, followed by Corbin and AJ Styles ( to another mega pop!). Would be interesting to see who progresses to face the winner of the Owens/Y2J match at Payback.

I'm hoping it would be Zayn...I really want to see AJ and Nakamura feud over the WWE Title. Thoughts people?
...
No introduction required for Cathy Kelly too!
...
...
Another announcement!

New Day is coming to SmackDown Live!

Surprisingly, Nakamura takes the mic and starts speaking...telling Ziggler that he's Shinsuke Nakamura (cue, insane pop!)
Ziggler responds by attempting to kick him, but Nakamura catches it easily and laughs off the attempt. This man is gold. Absolutely gold.

Ziggler weasels out of the ring in retreat...with Nakamura leading the crowd in a resounding "Yeaoh!" to close out the segment. Vince, that's main event material right there. PLEASE, DON'T RUIN HIM!
...
Ziggler asks him who the hell he is, and it's a good 2 minutes before he hands the mic to Nakamura...just because the audience is going crazy singing his theme song and chanting his name...this is magical :O
