SD/205/This Week In Wrestling

WWE Smackdown

-Commentators:  Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, & Corey Graves.
-Jimmy & Jey Uso d. Shelton Benjamin & Chad Gable to retain the Smackdown Tag Team Titles.  Benjamin & Gable had seemingly won the titles when Gable pinned Jimmy after he and Benjamin hit the powerbomb/top-rope clothesline combo (5:58).  However, Jey protested that he was the legal man and a second referee confirmed it (moreover, Gable wasn't the legal man for HIS team); that led to a restart.  The Usos went on to retain their titles when Jimmy pinned Benjamin after the top-rope splash (1:27 of the restart; 7:25 total).
-The Fashion Police(Tyler Breeze & Johnny Fandango) vs. The Bludgeon Brothers(Luke Harper & Erick Rowan) never officially started as Harper & Rowan attacked before the bell.  The Ascension(Konnor O'Brian & Rick Viktor) attempted to help their freinds, only to be beaten down as well.
-U.S. Title Tournament:  Xavier Woods(w/ Big E Langston & Kofi Kingston) d. "The Artiste" Aiden English(w/ Alexander Rusev) with the flying elbowdrop off the top rope (5:49).
-The Riot Squad(Ruby Riot, Sarah Logan, & Liv Morgan) d. Natalya Neidhart, Carmella Van Damme, & Tamina Snuka(w/ Lana Perry-Rusev); Logan pinned Tamina after a cartwheel double-kneedrop to the back of the head (5:38).  The Riot Squad got into a post-match fight with Smackdown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair, Naomi Night, and the returning Becky Lynch.
-Sami Zayn(w/ Kevin Owens) d. WWE Champion "The Phenomenal" A.J. Styles(w/ Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan)(non-title) via Helluva Kick (10:15 aired).
-Next week:  Zack Ryder vs. Mojo Rawley in the U.S. Title tournament.

WWE 205 Live

-Commentators:  Vic Joseph & Nigel McGuinness.
-T.J. Perkins d. Akira Tozawa with the Detonation Kick (9:57).
-Hideo Itami vs. "The Extraordinary Gentleman" Jack Gallagher never officially started as Gallagher attacked Itami with his umbrella(which was revealed to be loaded with a metal pipe).
-Cedric Alexander & Goldust d. Drew Gulak & Ariya Daivari when Alexander pinned Gulak after the Lumbar Check(belly-to-back double-knee backbreaker) (11:55).
