WWE Smackdown Results – Apr. 11, 2017

We’re live from the TD Garden in Boston with Tom Phillips, JBL and Byron Saxton for the final night of the “Superstar Shakeup” event.

– We go right to the ring and out comes WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens. He’s now on the SmackDown brand.

Kevin welcomes everyone to the new Kevin Owens Show. He says Smackdown just got a huge upgrade because he is here now. Kevin says he brought the United States Championship with him. He says he knows it might be confusing to some of you that he is the United States Champion when he is from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. You should be thankful that this title is in good hands because it is a known fact that Canada is much better than the United States. It is a known fact that Canadians make better athletes than Americans. Kevin asks if you need proof of that, the Montreal Canadiens beat the Boston Bruins every time. Kevin asks if you are mad about that. Kevin starts to speak in French and then he remembers that the morons in the crowd only speak one language. He says if anyone has a problem with him, get in the ring. He says he can beat the hell out of anyone in this arena and anyone in the back. That is what he is going to do. Kevin says he is not here for any of you. He is not here for anyone in the back. He is not here for anyone watching at home. Kevin says he is here for himself and he is here to be the new face of America.

Baron Corbin comes out and he has something to say. He tells Kevin that he can beat up everyone in this arena. Baron says he is sure that Kevin can beat up most of that locker room, but Kevin, you can’t beat him up.

Baron says he beat the Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose so bad he went and hid on Raw. Then Dean beat you so bad last night that you tucked your tail and ran to Smackdown. Baron says if he beat Dean and Dean beat you, then he will have no problem with Kevin. Baron says he is owed a title match and since Kevin is the only one with a title, then he will beat Kevin and take it.

Kevin tells Baron he has some bad news. First, you are delusional. Second, it does not matter who you beat because you do not deserve a shot at his title.

Sami Zayn interrupts and he makes his way to the ring as the newest member of Smackdown. Kevin says this cannot be real and that Sami cannot be here. Sami says this is very real and he is here to announce that Sami Zayn is finally on Smackdown. Baron says that nobody cares that you are here.

AJ Styles comes out to the ring.

AJ says this is not the Kevin Owens Show, this is Smackdown. AJ says it is not about the Underdog from the Underground. It is not about the Lone Wolf. This is about him. AJ says this is about the House that AJ Styles Built and he is still here.

Daniel Bryan comes out and he says it was announced before the Superstar Shake Up that Kevin Owens would defend the United States Title at Payback and the winner will become an official member of Smackdown Live. That means the title will not be defended on Smackdown until after Payback. The good news is one of you will face Kevin Owens or Chris Jericho for the United States Title. There will be a Number One Contender Triple Threat Match. Baron Corbin versus Sami Zayn versus AJ Styles.

Randy Orton walks in the back as we go to commercial.
