Smackdown Live couldn't build up to the hype created by Raw, but in its own defense, it did take away a lot of buzz-worthy storylines that could've developed after. A failed cash-in and Shane's involvement in the US Title picture headlined the show. Let's have a look. Credits: WWE.com Results: Natalya defeated Becky Lynch. Rusev vs. Chad Gable ended in a double count-out. The Usos defeated The New Day. Jinder Mahal vs. John Cena ended in a no contest. Mahal's Independence Speech Jinder Mahal kicked off the show along with the Singh Brother by inviting a live band performance of the Indian National Anthem. Mahal then took to address the audience by stating that he would beat John Cena in a more dominating fashion than Nakamura did and started his usual ranting in Punjabi. Nakamura interrupted him and claimed that he would take the title from him at Summerslam. This was a sub-par segment. Hopefully, WWE are done experimenting with Jinder Ma...

What a show! To all those people who actually paid to watch this, there is no amount of sympathy I have that would satiate your unfathomable loss. To all those people, including myself, who actually wasted time watching the Smackdown-exclusive PPV, there is not enough empathy in the world that could give us back our precious time. Let's just get into the proceedings.  Credits: cagesideseats.com Results: Kickoff: Aiden English defeats Tye Dillinger. Tag Team Championship: The New Day defeat The Usos to become new champions.

Kickoff: Aiden English vs. Tye Dillinger Before the match, Aiden English starts singing as...

The Smackdown Live-exclusive PPV, Battleground 2017 doesn't really look impressive, given the fact that this is the last PPV before Summerslam. A total of 8 matches have been announced, out of which, 3 will be Championship matches, a Flag Match, a #1 Contender's match and 3 non-title matches. Multiple rematches don't really call for exciting bouts, however, a few of them have the potential to steal the show. Here's looking into the complete match-card and my predictions: Credits: WWE.com Kickoff: Aiden English vs. Tye Dillinger There is no real story-line here. This is the second consecutive time that these two are crossing paths due to the sole fact that WWE Creative needs something to ignite the crowd ahead of a forgetful night. The Perfect 10, Tye Dillinger, has been on a role, given the fact that he went up against WWE Champion Jinder Mahal a couple of weeks back. These two prospects have the ability to pull off a good match in terms of technicality and e...
