Smark Out Moment

Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown for July 16, 2019 is coming to you live from the DCU Center in Worcester, MA. Follow along here for ongoing coverage of the results of the show to find out what happens as things occur and chat with fellow WWE fans in the comments below!

• Shane McMahon kicks Kevin Owens out of the arena for the night before the "town hall" starts. Roman Reigns is the first one to speak up and he says nobody respects Shane, so Shane says he'll fine him and deal with him later. Charlotte Flair sucks up to Shane. Liv Morgan cuts her off and calls her a phony and asks if there is anything real about her. Buddy Murphy says he doesn't need Kevin Owens to fight his battles and if he doesn't keep his name out of his mouth, he'll slap it out of his mouth. Apollo Crews says everybody agrees with Owens. Zelina Vega says Crews is kissing up to the WWE Universe and asks Crews to prove himself in the ring tonight. Elias gets interrupted by The New Day, who get their microphone cut off. Shane concludes the town hall. But Cesaro says he also has something to say—he wants Aleister Black to pick a fight with him. Owens pops up in the ring and, after an awkward flub where McMahon falls down, he gives him a stunner.
• Aleister Black defeated Cesaro by pinfall
• Dolph Ziggler wants Kevin Owens in the main event tonight.
• Charlotte Flair defeated Liv Morgan by submission. Liv grabs Corey Graves' headset after the match and says "Charlotte was right, and when I come back, I'm gonna be REAL."
• Ember Moon and Bayley defeated Fire & Desire (Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville) by pinfall as Moon pinned Rose. After the match, Bayley is asked by Kayla Braxton who her challenger for SummerSlam will be. Bayley talks about wanting to elevate the division and face someone who would do the title justice and whatnot, so Moon fits the bill. Moon accepts.
• Shinsuke Nakamura says he's free to rain chaos down as intercontinental champion. Ali pops up to congratulate him as a means to put him on notice.
• The New Day cut a promo on how they have all the gold now. They accept Daniel Bryan and Rowan's title rematch. Bryan and Rowan come out, but say nothing, and leave, but they come back out again, leave again, come back again, leave again. Then, Samoa Joe comes out and wants a shot at Kofi's title. Elias interrupts and says he's more deserving of a title shot. Randy Orton then comes out to say it's been a while since he's had that gold and he's going to take it. This leads to The New Day against Orton, Elias and Joe.
• Randy Orton, Samoa Joe and Elias defeated The New Day by pinfall (Orton pins Kingston)
• R-Truth is hiding backstage. Carmella suggests R-Truth goes to Comic Con so he can hide in plain sight while wearing a costume. Truth says he already paid his debt to society and isn't a convict anymore (LMAO).
• The Kabuki Warriors defeated The IIconics by count-out, meaning they don't win the Women's Tag Team Championship. Asuka and Kairi Sane continue to beat them up after the match.
• Apollo Crews defeated Andrade by pinfall
• Kevin Owens vs. Dolph Ziggler ends with a bunch of people ringside and Owens hitting McMahon with a stunner and getting out of there.
