WWE SmackDown Live Results May 9th 2017, Latest SmackDown Live winners and video highlights
We are less than two weeks away from Backlash. How did the blue brand do in the build-up to their next PPV?
A recap was shown of the six-pack challenge a few weeks back where Jinder Mahal became #1 contender to the WWE Championship.
Randy Orton addresses The Maharaja
Randy Orton said that he lost at Payback because Jinder Mahal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong. It didn’t take long for Jinder to interrupt. Mahal showed off the pictures he took with the title. He vowed that Backlash would become the age of the Maharaja. Kevin Owens then interrupted.
Owens said that they needed to “stop the crap”, and that no one cared about the House Of Horrors or India or England, they only cared about him. He bragged about ending Chris Jericho’s career. He said that at Backlash he would end AJ Styles’career. He then warned Randy Orton and Jinder Mahal that after he’s done with AJ Styles, he would go after the WWE championship.
AJ Styles interrupted and called Kevin Owens delusional, saying that he would never be the face of SmackDown Live. Baron Corbin came out and before he could really say anything, Sami Zayn attacked him from behind. This led to a brawl inside the ring, with the 3 babyfaces clearing and standing tall.
