Following a tremendous Hell in a Cell pay-per-view, the Smackdown Live crew made a stop at Lansing, Michigan for a house show which featured superstars such as Bobby Roode, AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Charlotte Flair and the newly crowned US champion Baron Corbin.
The Monday Night Raw crew was in Indianapolis this week, where they put up a great show and gave us a Shield reunion as well. But that did not stop the SD Live roster to display a great show for the Michigan crowd.
#1 The Usos (c) vs The New Day vs Shelton Benjamin and Chad Gable vs Breezango (SmackDown Live Tag Team Championships)
This past Sunday, The Usos and The New Day were part of grueling Hell in a Cell match but that did not stop these two teams to show up at Lansing and once again face each other for the tag titles. But, however, this time two other teams were added to the equation in the form of Breezango and Shelton and Gable.
The four teams as expected put up a great outing, which saw Jimmy and Jey retain the titles after Jimmy pinned Xavier Woods. The five-time champions continue to dominate the tag team scene in the blue brand and walked out of Michigan with the titles.
Result: The Usos retained the WWE SmackDown Live Tag Team Championships
#2 Randy Orton vs Rusev
Orton and Rusev have been feuding with each other for quite some time now. The two first faced off in a match at Summerslam which Orton won, Rusev then got a victory within 10 seconds over “The Viper” on an episode of Smackdown Live and these two men also faced each other this past Sunday at the Little Caesars Arena.
Orton defeated Rusev once again, much like he did this past Sunday in Detroit, but this time in front of the Michigan crowd. “The Viper” delivered an RKO outta nowhere to register another comprehensive win over “The Bulgarian Brute”.
Result: Randy Orton defeated Rusev
#3 Tye Dillinger and The Hype Bros vs Aiden English and The Ascension
Both Dillinger and The Hype Bros were part of the losing side this past Sunday at the HIAC PPV, but the three men teamed up on Monday night to face the team of Aiden English and former NXT Tag Team champions, The Ascension.
Despite not being able to pick up regular wins recently Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley were able to team up and cooperate with each other, as well as Tye Dillinger. The trio went on to pick up the win on the night after Dillinger hit the Tye Breaker on Viktor.
Result: Tye Dillinger and The Hype Bros defeated Aiden English and The Ascension
#4 Bobby Roode vs Dolph Ziggler
This past Sunday “The Glorious One” made his pay-per-view debut against Dolph Ziggler and also got his first PPV win on the main roster.
Roode and Ziggler went to battle once again on Monday. Roode, as usual, was the crowd favourite, and was super over and received many cheers from the crowd. In the ring, the outcome was the same as of Sunday's, as Roode picked up the win following the Glorious DDT.
Result: Bobby Rodde defeated Dolph Ziggler
#5 Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Naomi vs Tamina, Lana, Carmella and Natalya
After losing her title match against Natalya on Sunday, Charlotte teamed up with her best friend Becky Lynch and Naomi on the night to take part in a 4 on 3 handicap match.
Despite the numbers being against them, Charlotte and co. managed to get the win after Charlotte locked in the Figure Eight on Lana, who tapped out to the former Raw Women’s champion.
Result: Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Naomi defeated Tamina, Lana, Carmella and Natalya
#6 Sami Zayn vs Mike Kanellis
Sami Zayn made a shocking decision this past Sunday, which has got everyone talking. The former NXT champion decided to help Kevin Owens in his match against Shane McMahon and made sure that Owens got the win.
On Monday night, Sami went toe-to-toe with Mike Kanellis and picked up the win after “The Miracle” was distracted by Kevin Owens. Zayn managed to connect the Helluva Kick and got the three count for the win; after the match, the former El Generico walked past Owens without saying anything. The former Intercontinental champion then got on the microphone and said that it was he and Zayn who defeated Shane O’Mac together on the night.
Result: Sami Zayn defeated Mike Kanellis
#7 AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura vs Jinder Mahal and Baron Corbin
Both Styles and Nakamura were on the losing side on Sunday’s HIAC PPV. Styles lost the US Title to Corbin in a triple threat match and Nakamura once again failed to win the WWE Title against Jinder Mahal on the same night.
However, on Monday the two men teamed up to take on, an all champions team as they faced “The Maharaja” and “The Lone Wolf”. Nakamura and Styles managed to pick up the win after “The Phenomenal One” hit the Phenomenal Forearm on Corbin for the win.
Result: AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jinder Mahal and Baron Corbin
