WWE Smackdown Live kicks off with a clip of last tuesday’s show. We see Kofi Kingston defeating Sami Zayn and Paul Heyman coming out with Brock Lesnar’s Money in the Bank briefcase and Dolph Ziggler attacking Kofi Kingston.

WWE champion Kofi Kingston vs. Kevin Owens

Live in the arena, Kevin Owens comes out to the ring. Kevin gets on the microphone and says initially he was going to start Smackdown with the KO Show but after being here all day, he can’t think of anything worse than being in the ring in Oklahoma and giving a KO show to a people who aren’t worthy. And the people of Oklahoma are not worthy. The only thing being making being in Oklahoma bearable is knowing that in a few minutes, he will beat up Kofi Kingston.

Kevin says the past few weeks, he has acquired a taste for beating up people of the New Day. But he had nothing to do with Big E’s attack last week in the locker room. Big E said it was Kevin but maybe he was tweeting and got distracted. He never attacked Big E, he’s a good person and would never do that. But if New Day want to blame him, they can blame him for something he is responsible for which is the pain that Xavier Woods has been in weeks now. Or for Kofi’s fairy tale ending at Super ShowDown when Dolph Ziggler beats him for the WWE championship and that will be a direct result of what he will do to Kofi tonight. Kofi Kingston’s music hits as he comes out to the ring throwing pancakes into the crowd.

Kofi tells Kevin enough with the lying. Kevin says he didn’t attack Big E? But everyone knows he’s lying just like he lied about wanting to be apart of New Day. Kevin is a liar and now he’s out here saying he will soften him up for Dolph. He’s lying to himself. Kofi says that won’t happen but what will happen is this. Kofi says he’s not 100% but Kevin will pay for re-injuring Big E’s knee and attacking Xavier. Tonight he will pay for all of that.

The bell rings and we are under way. Kofi with a drop kick. Right hands by both men but Kevin with a big boot as he stomps on Kofi. A chop to the chest by Kevin but a take down by Kofi. Kofi with a kick as Kevin is sent to the ropes but Kevin slams Kofi’s head into the mat.

Smackdown Tag Team Champions – Daniel Bryan and Rowan

Kayla is in the ring with the champions. Bryan says the WWE tag team division is a joke. A bad joke, it’s not a joke that makes you laugh, it’s one that makes you cringe. Speaking of jokes, Rowan has a joke. Rowan says knock knock. Who’s there? The Smackdown Tag Team division? The Smackdown tag team division who? Exactly! Daniel Bryan and Rowan laugh. Bryan says that’s a joke. However, they are not jokes. They have ambition. They have purpose. Not only will they be the greatest WWE tag team of all time but they dedicate their lives to saving the planet. Unlike all of the fans who wasted their memorial day weekend eating the beautiful creatures of the planet. While all these fat, ignorant humans were eating hot dogs, they didn’t realize that that was a hyper intelligent pig named Wiggles. While they were eating hamburgers, they didn’t realize that was a nurturing cow. They don’t realize that all the beautiful creatures have names but he and Rowan do. The people of Oklahoma are worse than anybody.

Bryan says Oklahoma is a leader in deep oil well drilling. It brings them money but also earthquakes. Their mission statement is to save the tag team division and save the planet. Because they are the planet’s tag team champions. Kayla says she is told that there are teams who would like to challenge them. Bryan asks who. Heavy Machinery come out to the ring.

He says when Drew came up with the concept for tonight, he was hesitant. He never considered himself a hero, he doesn’t do what he does for a celebration. What he does is he enjoys his life. He enjoys being out in front of the fans. He is a humble man. He came back home to help run a family business. And the greatest adulation he can have is by looking out at the fans. And seeing smiles on faces. If you are in attendance or watching at home, they have something to ensure that when Smackdown goes off the air, smiles will be on faces.

We see a video of Shane McMahon’s career. Shane says that video was educational. It was educational for Roman Reigns. Shane says he is sick and tired of him walking around breaking all the rules like he’s the big dog in the yard. The McMahon family has been putting food on his family’s table for generations. And when Roman came out and hit the chairman, he bit the hand that feeds him. He hopes Roman can hear him because at Super ShowDown, he will beat him and beat respect into him.

Elias says that was powerful. In honor of him, he wrote him a song. “You’re the best in the world, the greatest man I ever saw. You’re better than the best, just like Texas has been better than Oklahoma.”
