WWE Live Event Results: Columbus, Georgia (July 17, 2017)

Although Kurt Angle and Jason Jordan hogged the spotlight on Monday, there was no respite for the Superstars of SmackDown Live who were in Columbus, Georgia for a Live Event.

The card was headlined by John Cena and also featured title defences from Jinder Mahal and The Usos. Without any further ado, here are the results: ( Courtesy of Wrestling Inc)

Nakamura and Ziggler renewed their rivalry in the opener and put on an above average match. The King of Strong Style picked up the victory after hitting the Kinshasa.

#2 Chad Gable, Zack Ryder & Sin Cara vs. Aiden English, Epico & Erick Rowan

Big changes are probably afoot for Chad Gable in the coming weeks, but he was in a regulation house show match in Columbus where the babyfaces picked up a routine victory.

#3 Baron Corbin vs. Sami Zayn

These characters have moved onto different programs on TV, but they renewed their rivalry on this show. Baron Corbin was in control for most of the encounter, and he picked up the victory after blocking a Helluva Kick and hitting the End of Days.

AJ Styles had Jinder Mahal in the Calf Crusher when the Singh Brothers interfered. The Phenomenal One then retaliated and went after the team formerly known as the Bollywood Boys. However, Mahal snuck up on him and hit Khallas for the win.

The Singh Brothers tried to add insult to injury, but Styles fought back and laid them out.

#6 Naomi, Becky Lynch and Charlotte vs. Tamina, Natalya, Carmella and Lana

This was a fairly mediocre match that was worked at a lukewarm pace. Naomi pinned Carmella to secure the victory for her team.

Free agent Cena was at a SmackDown Live Event on this occasion, and he defeated Rusev to foreshadow the Bulgarian Brute's fate at Battleground potentially.
