WWE SmackDown Live! came to us live from the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Nebraska. We are looking ahead to another exciting episode of the blue brand.
Here are the complete WWE SmackDown results for 6th September 2016:
#1 The Miz vs. Apollo Crews
The first match of the night takes place between WWE Intercontinental Champion The Miz and Apollo Crews. In a backstage segment Miz is ordered by general manager Daniel Bryan to either defend his title against Dolph Ziggler at BackLash or hand over the title immediately.
In a non-title rematch of their SummerSlam clash, Crews gathers momentum early on against The Miz, whose BackLash opponent for the title Dolph Ziggler is at ringside. After a few lusty blows, Crews nails an Apron Moonsault on the WWE Intercontinental Champion.
Miz tries to fight his way back into the game by hitting a Neckbreaker before locking his opponent in a Split Arm Bar, but Crews manages to break it. Crews tries to pin Miz with a Sunset Flip but is unsuccessful. Miz manages to turn the tide by nailing a Corner Splash before attempting a Double Axe Handle only for Crews to catch him mid-air and reverse it excellently into an Overhead Belly-to-Belly.
Ziggler is then confronted by Miz outside of the ring as Crews follows, but the Intercontinental Champion takes advantage of the situation and shoves Crews into Ziggler, before hitting the Skull Crushing Finale on him and pinning him for the win.
Result: The Miz beats Apollo Crews by pinfall
