WWE SmackDown Live Results 5th September 2017, Latest SmackDown Live winners and video highlights
The episode of SmackDown Live started with two backstage vignettes of Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura talking about their match later in the night.
Tensions boil over with Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon
Carmella was in the ring when the show started and as James Ellsworth was introducing her, Kevin Owens interrupted, much to the surprise of anyone. He declared himself the referee for Carmella's match against Natalya.
Shane McMahon came out to stop the shenanigans, and they had their tensed exchange, in which there was an awkward pause where Shane seemed to forget his lines. They continued the tensed exchanged which saw Kevin Owens and Shane agree that he should still have been on RAW, and Owens make some nasty comments saying that he shouldn't have survived the helicopter crash as his family would've been better off. The moment Owens brought up Shane's kids for the second time, the SmackDown Live commissioner lost it and assaulted Owens, with the action going to the announcer's desk. It took Daniel Bryan and some other backstage officials to calm Shane down and make him stop.
Great segment that ended with the crowd chanting "Shane O' Mac".
