WWE SmackDown 6-17-22



Roman vs. Riddle for the title and Vince appears on TV for the first time since stepping down as CEO - so it's a pretty historic show overall.Vince's theme hits and he gets a giant pop with fans fawning over him. He soaks it in and says that it's WWE THEN NOW TOGETHER and most importantly FOREVER!

Riddle comes out for a recap video with the Usos/Reigns feud. Riddle is not good at this long promo deal but he does love him some Randy Orton and it feels good to have a team that feels like a genuine bond. Corbin-Moss recap and then after a billion years, the match begins. Slugfest before a Corbinlock and then a Moss fallaway slam. Moss eats the post for an ad break.


Deep Six gets 2. PUNCHLINE HITS! And another wins it. Yeah his inverted version of Curtix Axel's finish is a thing sure. Street Profits cut a promo wanting the tag titles. Shanky and Jinder face New Day and lose. Shanky dances. Viking Raiders hype video. Pierce is here to make a ruling on who goes into the MITB match - Drew or Sheamus. Pierce puts Sheamus in and then they brawl and then he puts Drew in too. Thank God. This ate up 10 minutes. Raquel poses before facing Shayna in an MITB qualifer.


Max Dupri bullshit about not being happy with the presentation of his Maximum Male Models. GUNTER and Kaiser promo. Riddle swarms him and hits a PK off the apron a corkscrew floating bro to the floor. They plug house shows and they're coming to do DC in mid-August. Drive-by gets 2 for Roman. V trigger is avoided and Roman hits a uranage for 2. Orton back suplex on the announce table by Riddle! Superman punch gets 2.5! SPEAR INTO THE RKO GETS 2.9! Mid-air crossbody eats the spear and it ends it.


Roman says there's no one left and BROCK RETURNS! We get a staredown! F5 TO ROMAN AND THEN TO THE USOS! As a whole show, this was not worth 2 hours - but it was eventful.
