Smackdown, 205 Live, This Week In Wrestling

WWE Smackdown

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Tom Phillips, David Otunga, & John Bradshaw Layfield.
-Randy Orton d. Luke Harper by countering the discus lariat with the RKO (7:58 aired); Bray Wyatt was at ringside.
-Renee Young interviewed Mickie James about her actions on last week's show; she said that the current women's roster had forgotten about how she paved the way for female wrestlers over "divas"...all except for Smackdown Women's Champion Alexa Bliss.  That led to Becky Lynch charging the ring and fighting with Mickie, but Mickie baited Becky toward the audience where Alexa caught her with a cheapshot.  The two beat down Becky in the ring with Alexa finishing with the Twisted Bliss(twisting top-rope splash).
-Mojo Rawley won a battle royal.  Eliminations:  Aiden English & Simon Gotch by Heath Slater, Curt Hawkins by Mojo, Rick Viktor by Slater, Slater by Konnor O'Brian, Rhyno & Konnor by Mojo, Johnny Fandango by an accidental Supermodel Kick from Tyler Breeze, and Breeze by Mojo (3:13).  Baron Corbin did commentary.
-Dolph Ziggler d. Kalisto by countering a middle-rope springboard move with the superkick (0:48).
-Naomi Night vs. Natalya Neidhart never officially started as Nikki Bella attacked Natalya backstage.  Naomi issued an open challenge, but only got a verbal confrontation with Smackdown Women's Champion Alexa Bliss...Alexa said Naomi wasn't worth her time.
-Dean Ambrose d. "The Miz" Mike Mizanin(w/ Maryse Ouellet-Mizanin) in a lumberjack match to retain the Intercontinental Title, getting the pin after the Dirty Deeds v2.0(double-underhook DDT) (9:06 aired).

WWE 205 Live

-Commentators:  Mauro Ranallo, Corey Graves, & Austin Aries.
-T.J. Perkins d. "The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese with a La Majistral cradle (8:29).  Nese attacked Perkins after the match with a German suplex into the turnbuckles and a running knee in the corner.
-Next week:  Akira Tozawa makes his 205 Live debut.
-"The" Brian Kendrick d. Tripp Bradshaw with the Captain's Hook(grounded chinlock submission hold) (2:05).
-"The Man That Gravity Forgot" Adrian Neville d. Cedric Alexander; "The Scottish Supernova" Noam Dar ran out to interfere and Alexander cut him off, but Neville countered a springboard move into an armbar takedown and got the tapout with the Rings Of Saturn (14:25).  Neville threw Dar out of the ring and continued his attack on Alexander, but Cruiserweight Champion "The Outlandish" Rich Swann ran in for the save.  The show ended with referees and security breaking up the fight between Swann and Neville as Alexander and Dar fought in the aisleway.
