LET THE BODIES HIT THE……


SD starts with M&M! Miz says their guest tonight has inspired many people, a daredevil who battles his demons one day at a time. A trailblazer, says Miz, emphasis on the word “blaze” says Morrison. Jeff Hardy is introduced after one more bad joke from Morrison.

Jeff comes out without the paint, and Miz wants to apologize for Morrison. Morrison says he was just excited. Jeff has a clip. Jeff says no, no he does not. Miz and Morrison argue over who has the clip.

Said clip is rolled. It’s a video package covering Jeff and Sheamus’ feud.

Miz and Morrison continue to say the word, “clip” a thousand times. Usually, people overcoming demons usually come out a winner, but not Jeff. Always a rulebreaker.

Jeff promises to break something if they don’t. Miz says his daughter’s favorite superstar is Jeff. She doesn’t know about the darkness, though. They then ask if Jeff is ok.

Jeff says he’s been to hell and back and he’s been to a dark place that they can’t imagine. It’ll take a lot more than taunts from Sheamus. Of course the loss at Backlash bothers Jeff. He’s gotta do everything in his power to destroy Sheamus. Jeff says he will be a beacon of light for those that struggle, by showing them that change is possible and hope is real. Life beyond their wildest dream is waiting for them.

Miz offers a match against Sheamus. And he should do it in a Bar Fight. Morrison points out the physical and metaphorical enemy both at the same time. Jeff thinks this is Sheamus’ idea. Jeff says he will never go back. Jeff accepts the match.

Jeff wonders if either of them would like a match tonight. Jeff with a right hand to Miz. Morrison tosses his jacket onto Jeff then attacks. Whip is reversed and Jeff clotheslines Morrison over the top rope.

Cole posing complaints in rhetorical questions is bothersome and annoying.

We are taken back to May, and it looks like we’re getting the title match between Bray and Braun in its entirety?

Here’s Slimmer’s report:

It’s Firefly Funhouse Bray Wyatt in this match, not the Fiend. Wyatt goes for a hug at the start of the match, but Strowman levels him with a shoulder block. Wyatt gets back to his feet and lands a few punches, but Strowman whips Wyatt to the ropes and again levels him with a shoulder block. Wyatt rolls to the outside, and Strowman follows him. Strowman whips Wyatt face-first into the ring post and then rolls him back into the ring. Strowman splashes Wyatt in the corner, and Wyatt crumbles to the outside. Strowman heads to the outside and charges at Wyatt, but Wyatt side steps him, and Strowman crashes into the announce table. One of Wyatt’s puppets appears from behind the barricade and cheers for Wyatt. Wyatt rolls Strowman back into the ring and levels Strowman with a clothesline for a two count. Wyatt connects with a back senton, and this time it’s Strowman who rolls to the outside to regroup. Wyatt whips Strowman into the ring steps and seems almost conflicted about what he is doing to Strowman. Wyatt rolls Strowman back into the ring and hits a tornado DDT out of the corner. Wyatt delivers Sister Abigail, but Strowman kicks out at two. Wyatt’s facial expression changes, and it looks like the Fiend persona may have taken control. Wyatt goes for a second Sister Abigail, but Strowman counters into a choke slam. Strowman splashes Wyatt in the corner and tosses Wyatt to the outside. Strowman runs around the ring and drives Wyatt into the barricade. Strowman rolls Wyatt back into the ring, but Wyatt knocks Strowman off the apron to buy himself some time. Strowman rises from the ground wearing the Black Sheep mask. The Black Sheep climbs back into the ring, and Wyatt is elated to see him. The Black Sheep drops to his knees in front of Wyatt and then stands and hugs him. All of the Firefly Funhouse puppets cheer from ringside, but suddenly Strowman takes off the mask and drops it to the mat. Strowman stomps on the mask and hits Wyatt with the running power slam for the three count.
Match Result: Braun Strowman defeats Bray Wyatt with the running power slam.

New Day is backstage, all hyped. They are asked if Shin and Nak are being underestimated. They been telling the same story for the past six years. Every time they lose a match, it’s the same ol song. Kofi brings up the accolades of Cesaro and Nakamura. They are who they thought they were, and Big E says there’s a song they like. “Facing the rising sun of the new day begun. Let us march on till victory is won.”

Big E goes full DEBUTING NEW DAY and preaches like a G.

For those interested in the song:

*sigh*

We are here with Jey Uso to host the Karaoke Showdown.

Lacey, Dana, Tamina, and Naomi are in the ring.

The rules are simple; each contestant will get 45 seconds to sing their favorite WWE theme song. The audience will vote for the winner. The first singer is, apparently Jey Uso because he tries to cut a quick rhyme.

Lacey will be singing “With My Baby Tonight.” Cole claims this will be really good.

Dana is up next to sing, “The Honkytonk Man”

Tamina then sings Triple H’s song…

She is cut off short like Dana.

Next is Naomi, and she is singing “American Dream”

Someone somewhere will say this is a dig to Cody.

Naomi wins this, according to the ‘crowd’ and Jey Uso. Naomi says they miss Dusty. Lacey is upset. She shoves Naomi down on her ass. Naomi gets in her face and Jey holds her back. Naomi removes the hoops and shoes. It’s bout to go down.

Match 2: Naomi vs Lacey Evans

Lacey is atop Naomi, beating her down. I should mention that Lacey is in a dress. She sends Naomi into the middle buckle face first then sends her into the bottom buckle. Dana and Tamina are ringside for no reason whatsoever. Drop toe hold from Lacey. She then puts her dress over the face of Naomi…ok.

Naomi with a kick to the face. Naomi up. They end up on the outside of the riing, run into Tamina and Dana, and we get a DQ finish in less than two minutes.

Winner: Nobody. Not even you.
Shit. The entire segment. Shit.

AJ Styles is backstage with his title. He says that no one is worthy of stepping into the ring with him, so he will be holding that title for a long, long time…

He is informed that he will face Riddle next week for the title. AJ wonders who he even beat. What’s he going to do with Bryan not there to rub his back, or the roster to rub his frost-bitten feet. This is ridiculous, says AJ.
