WWE SmackDown Results July 31st, 2020: Winners, Grades, Video Highlights for latest Friday Night SmackDown

Bray was searching for Braun. Maybe this is The Fiend's way of dragging him back to reality? Tune in next week with us to find out!

He toys with her before locking in the Mandible Claw. With no Nikki and no Braun, she's left defenseless as we end the show.

Bliss is left all alone in the ring when the lights go out. The red lights appear...The Fiend is right behind Alexa!!

Alexa Bliss tries to console Nikki after the match, but Nikki turns her away. Bliss keeps it up, trying to be there for her friend, but Nikki shoves her down before leaving the ring.

Bayley defeats Nikki Cross via pinfall.

Banks tries to distract Nikki, but is handled by Alexa Bliss. Bayley takes another cross body off the top but kicks out. They trade pinfalls, with Nikki getting a majority of the attempts.

Bayley, sadly for Cross, is able to catch Cross with the arm trapped swinging facebuster for the win. The Golden Role Models continue to dominate both brands!

On the apron, a reverse DDT plants Bayley. Banks hands her The Boss's ring, but Bayley can't connect. Nikki tosses them out and drops Bayley with a belly-to-back suplex for another close call.

Cross responds with a running crossbody for the two! Bayley gets spiked with a tornado DDT off the top, but still kicks out!

Bayley takes Nikki to the corner for some shoulder thrusts, looking to reinjure the ribs.

"There is not a hotter duo in WWE"
That's a little inappropriate, Cole.

A leg trip drops Nikki into the ropes where a leg drop gives the champ her first real bit of offense.

Nikki batters Bayley early on and sets up for the fisherman's neckbreaker. Bayley spins out but is caught in a Thesz Press. Nikki takes her to the floor and batters her around ringside for a bit before bringing her in for a dropkick.

It's time for the main event! Bayley vs Nikki Cross! Dos Straps vs Crazy Nikki!

Heavy Machinery are trying to keep Rose calm while Miz and Morrison crack jokes. They're chased off by Tucker.

"We're being told that Kayla Braxton has more on this story." Cole...she's standing a mere few feet away from it while Mandy is still on the ground. What else could she know right now?

Or Sonya is just gonna shave her bald with some clippers???

Oh, the refs break it up. I think Sonya just tried to stab Drake Wuertz with clippers in the back of the head.

So...we're getting a hair vs hair match right?

Mandy is getting ready for her date when she's blindsided by Sonya Deville. Deville batters Mandy, leaving her covered in ruined lipstick. She follows up by grabbing some scissors to cut off Mandy's hair.

Uhhhhh @WWE_MandyRose...

Mandy and Otis are about to go out on another date. Sonya Deville was stalking them. Seems she's not one with the love birds yet. Also, Mandy talked about Otis eating a peach sundae so..take that how you will.

Odey! Mandis!

Otis and Mandy are here!

Naomi defeats Lacey Evans via pinfall!

Naomi ducks the Women's Right and picks up a win with a backslide!

Naomi catches Evans in the ropes with an axe kick and follows up with a sliding sunset flip bomb. Back inside, Evans kicks out at two.

Lacey Evans plants Naomi with a leg swinging facebuster before dragging her to the ring post. Naomi's back is stretched as Lacey boots her in the face.

By the way did Sheamus just watch Gangs of New York recently?

It's time for Naomi and Lacey Evans to duke it out again. Hopefully things go better for the Queen of the Glow.

Sheamus is backstage saying he should've known that fighting Jeff Hardy at a bar was like fighting at a two-one disadvantage. He's moving on, though, to a new target.

The Stretch Muffler is awesome. Great for a big man. Great for Big E. Big things in his future.

I just wanted to share that End of Days.

The new partnership between King @BaronCorbinWWE & @WWEGable reminded us of the best 'End of Days' of all time! #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/JGSnP0S5Rx

Cesaro and Nakamura are celebrating their reign as SmackDown Tag Team Champions but are interrupted by Lucha House Party. Guess that's the next feud?

Big E defeats The Miz via submission.

The ref, Charles Robinson (Lil Naitch) sends Morrison to the back. Miz begs him to reverse the decision, but it's to late. E rolls him up for a two count and turns it into the Stretch Muffler! Miz taps! Miz taps!

Two running corner clotheslines connect, but the third is countered into a uranage by E. The apron spear was blocked with a knee, though.

Miz distracts the ref so Morrison can rock E with a kick to the dome. A Skull Crushing Finale still can't put him away. Miz locks in the Figure-4-Leglock, but E drags Miz across the ring to the ropes.

Miz escapes a powerbomb and sends E into the turnbuckle with a dropkick to the knee. "You're a ring general, bro" says Morrison.

"You're my world, bro" said the Miz...probably in his head.

Big E responds with a series of suplexes and throws. A big splash crushes Miz. However, an eye rake prevents E from hitting the Big Ending. DDT spikes him for a two.

Miz has Big E trapped in a sleeper hold but is shaken off. He responds with a big boot to the jaw for the two.

Miz follows up with a wrecking ball dropkick before bringing the big man inside for a chin lock.
