Smark Out Moment

Tonight's episode of WWE SmackDown for July 23, 2019 is coming to you live from the American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL. 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 starts the show with a promo about how he should compete at SummerSlam because he's the best in the world. Kevin Owens has put his career on the line if he loses that match. He shows footage of last year when Owens quit. Owens comes out and says that was the old version of him that was afraid to piss people off. Shane books Owens in a match against Roman Reigns for tonight. Shane also makes Drew McIntyre the special guest referee, Elias the special guest timekeeper and himself the special guest announcer.
• Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Apollo Crews by pinfall
• If Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville win their next match, they'll get a tag title shot.
• Ali has another video promo thing.
• MizTV with Shawn Michaels. HBK talks about Raw Reunion and tries to hype Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. Dolph Ziggler comes out to say Michaels is embarrassing nowadays. HBK calls Ziggler a second-rate Shawn Michaels wannabe. Ziggler superkicks Michaels and runs off.
• Ember Moon defeated Charlotte Flair by pinfall with some help from Bayley as a distraction. Then, Moon tossed Bayley into the ring to Flair, but took out both Flair and Bayley to make a statement for SummerSlam. 
• Kofi Kingston calls out Randy Orton. He says Orton used his influence to hold him down after their previous feud, and that's why he never became a main event talent until recently. Orton admits he held him back, but he was doing him a favor, because Kofi wasn't ready then or now. Kofi's worked hard, but Orton just had to be himself and he's been on top. He even takes credit for injuring Ali before Elimination Chamber, so Orton is the reason Kofi even has the title. Kofi suggests the two fight for the title at SummerSlam. 
• Kofi Kingston defeated Samoa Joe by disqualification when Orton tried to hit him with an RKO, but Kingston avoided it. Orton then gave an RKO to Joe, and in the process, Kingston hit Orton with Trouble in Paradise. 
• Finn Balor was interviewed by Kayla Braxton about Bray Wyatt. He challenges Wyatt to a match at SummerSlam. Firefly Fun House comes on the TitanTron. He accepts.
• Charlotte Flair requested an interview with Sarah Schreiber to complain about being left off SummerSlam and not being chosen to face Bayley. She demands to be at SummerSlam and her opponent will be better than Ember Moon and she'll prove why she's the greatest female star of all time.
• Kevin Owens vs. Roman Reigns doesn't really happen after involvement from Shane McMahon, Drew McIntyre and Elias from ringside. Owens and Reigns stand tall in taking them out.
