Smackdown, 205 Live, This Week In Wrestling

WWE Smackdown

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Tom Phillips, David Otunga, & John Bradshaw Layfield.
-Nikki Bella vs. Natalya Neidhart never officially started; Natalya attacked Nikki in the backstage area, leading to the two brawling before the opening bell could even sound.
-Kalisto d. Dolph Ziggler; Ziggler delivered a dropkick and laid back for the pin attempt, but Kalisto crucifixed him on the mat for the three-count (5:00 aired).  Ziggler attacked Kalisto after the match and beat him down with a chair; Apollo Crews ran in to fight with Dolph, but Dolph got the better of him and laid him out with the chair as well.
-American Alpha(Jason Jordan & Chad Gable) d. Bray Wyatt & Randy Orton(w/ Luke Harper) to retain the Smackdown Tag Team Titles; Gable ran Orton into Harper on the ring apron and pinned Orton with an O'Connor Roll (12:15 aired).  Tensions between the Wyatt Family members nearly exploded, but Bray somehow made peace.
-Carmella Van Damme(w/ James Ellsworth) d. C.J. Lunde(aka Thunderkitty) with the Code Of Silence(push-up headscissors submission hold) (2:41).
-John Cena d. Baron Corbin with the F-U (7:37 aired); WWE Champion A.J. Styles did commentary.

WWE 205 Live

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Corey Graves, & Austin Aries.
-"The Scottish Supernova" Noam Dar d. Cedric Alexander(w/ Alicia Fox); Alicia randomly pulled Dar out of the way of Alexander's moonsault, leading to Dar winning after a flying roundhouse kick (12:16).  Alicia slapped Dar after the match.
-Coming soon:  Akira Tozawa.
-"The" Brian Kendrick d. "The Samoan Dragon" Sean Maluta with the Captain's Hook(grounded chinlock submission hold) (4:47).
-"The Extraordinary Gentleman" Jack Gallagher and Ariya Daivari sat down in a parley to settle their dispute...Daivari had no interest in a peaceful resolution and neither did Gallagher, who offered a contract for an "I Forfeit" Match(similar to an "I Quit" Match).  As is often the case with contract signings, it broke down into a brawl between the two.
-Cruiserweight Champion "The Outlandish" Rich Swann d. "The Premiere Athlete" Tony Nese(non-title) with the spinning crescent kick (7:26).  Post-match, Swann spoke his mind and that brought out "The Man That Gravity Forgot" Adrian Neville...setting up a title match at the Royal Rumble.
