411’s WWE The SmackDown LowDown Report 07.08.23: Bianca Belair is Ready for Asuka, Edge Gives Props to Grayson Waller

-Interesting enough, Jackie Redmond is back on the graphic for this show. Did something happen with Megan taking over for her? Let’s get to it!

-Jackie Redmond (I guess the new era is on hold) welcomes us to the show, and immediately throws to video of the latest with The Bloodline. Roman Reigns tells Jey he doesn’t want or need this and bows before him and then hits him in the balls! Jimmy attacks Roman, which has Solo making the save and Jimmy gets the dog crap beat out of him as Jey is forced to watch. This was all great and ate up the first 40 minutes of the show, but it apparently did a monster rating.

-Now to Jackie and Matt Camp proper as they discuss all things Bloodline. It Rules is basically the gist of it!

-To the video as The Bloodline closes the show as Jey returns and sends Solo into the post and attacks Roman with a chair. Roman gets out of dodge after one shot, but Solo isn’t as lucky as Jey goes all Austin at Mania X-Seven on Solo. Jey challenges Roman to a match so he can whoop his ass one more time! I smell SummerSlam Main Event, which we are all expecting!

-Camp says The Civil War was what the Bloodline always did growing up and it never went beyond that, but now it has become more personal. Jey has taken everything in and wants something from Roman since he took out Jey’s brother.

-To the video as Iyo hits Asuka with a moonsault and looks like she is going to cash in, but Bianca interrupts. Iyo ends up eating a boot from Charlotte. Interesting stuff here as they are building to a 3-Way but have the intrigue of Iyo holding the briefcase and having Bayley in her ear.

-Kayla Braxton is backstage and is with Bianca Belair. Bianca gets her rematch next week and she is ready for her chance as she stays ready. She knows there is always a target on her back and it doesn’t matter about Iyo or Charlotte as she is walking out champ and she says Kayla can let them know to kiss her backside.

-Jackie and Camp discuss Bianca/Auska and all the factors outside the ring that can play a part in this one. Camp doesn’t think Iyo is going to be patient with her briefcase.

-Austin Theory and Edge still to come!

-Peacock commercials!

-To the video, and really, they could show the whole match, as we see AJ Styles get the clean win over Karrion Kross. Obviously, this match was cut a good bit thanks to the Bloodline opening going long.

-Camp feels this likely means that AJ has put Kross behind him. That would be a bad sign for Kross for it to get blown off so quickly.

-To the video as Sheamus challenged Austin Theory for The US Title. This got some time and had a run-in from Pretty Deadly which then brough out The Brawling Brutes. Sheamus gets caught focusing on the stuff outside the ring and Theory gets a surprise roll-up for the win.

-Kayla Braxton is backstage at MSG with US Champion, Austin Theory. She wants to know about Theory and Pretty Deadly. Theory calls her a little nosey and notes Pretty Deadly are just handsome guys like him. He runs through the names he has beaten: Rey, Sheamus, Edge, and Cena. The US Title is on his mind every morning he wakes up and he can’t be touched. SmackDown is A Town Down and we all need to get used to it.

-Camp notes the list of names Theory has beaten is impressive and he has a right to be so confident. Jackie and Camp debate over what the half shirts Pretty Deadly sport are called.

-Edge is up next!

-Peacock commercials!

-This Monday on RAW, Cody Rhodes has a message for Cowboy Brock! Also, Drew McIntyre and Riddle take on Imperium. Also, also, Ricochet and Logan Paul call each other out!

-To the video as Edge is a guest on The Grayson Waller Effect! Waller wants to know why Edge is back in WWE and Edge says it is because of the fans. Waller interrupts a bit too much and Edge lets him know he pulled some strings, and they have a match against each other later tonight.

-Later in the show we get Waller vs. Edge and good on Waller for making the most of the chance. He had no shot of winning as he shouldn’t beat Edge at this point, but he looked fine out there in the spot. Cool ending with the rolling Stunner being countered with a spear. Edge offers Waller a compliment after the match!

-Camp notes that Edge offered respect and it should mean a lot, but Waller will likely blow it off.

-Edge is backstage with Cathy and asks Edge about his comment after the match. Edge understands that Waller is trying to make a name and says he was there 25 years ago. It says a lot about Waller that he was able to hang in there with him during his first match on the Main Roster. Edge talks about twenty-five years in WWE and how this has been his dream job. He says he can go to RAW and celebrate or NXT and celebrate, but he is just going to have a hell of a time.

-Jackie and Camp discuss 25 years of Edge! Jackie notes that Edge is embracing the moment and enjoying the moment but wonders what is next. Camp thinks Edge still wants more Gold before he ends his career.

-Jackie wraps things up and we are out this week! I guess we will see if it’s Megan or someone else on Monday! Thanks for reading!
