WWE SmackDown Results (6/24) Austin – TX – We begin with a look back at last week’s Unified Title Match and the return of Brock Lesnar to set up their match at SummerSlam. Click here for Spoilers tonight’s planned matches and segments

We are live from the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, as Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring.

We take a look at the reason why Drew and Sheamus should not be in the Money in the Bank match and then last week’s expected decision to put them both in the match.

Drew welcomes everyone to Smackdown.  When he was first drafted to Smackdown, he said he was willing to start at the bottom and work his way to the top.  No matter what I do, the tribal champion has ducked him.  Now he has to force his hand and become Mr. Money in the Bank.  Speaking of earning title matches, Brock Lesnar shows up last week and he gets a title match.  Drew says he will do things the hard way.  He says he will be watching the match to see who wins the match because Mr. Money in the Bank will Claymore your ass.

Sheamus makes his way to the ring with Ridge Holland and Butch.

Sheamus tells Drew to calm his jets.  You were right about something.  The Last Man Standing Match will be a great time to cash in the briefcase.  You are off your rocker if you think you are going to be the one to do it.  You are in this match because Adam Pearce feels sorry for you.  You don’t belong.  Sheamus mentions Arch Manning.  He reminds Drew they go back a long way.  Your only experience with the briefcase is having someone cash in the briefcase on you.  Sheamus says he is a former Money in the Bank winner and he cashed in on Roman Reigns.

Paul Heyman interrupts and Ridge has to hold Butch in the ring.

Paul is followed by Adam Pearce.as he introduces himself and he reminds us what he does.   He says he is talking about the same Roman Reigns who will defend his title at SummerSlam against Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing Match.  A match that will not be won by Brock Lesnar.  The victor in that match will be Roman Reigns. Paul says we have a problem here.  Even though Roman is the G.O.A.T., even against Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing Match, he will be vulnerable to a potential cash in.  Paul says that even Brock would be vulnerable, even if he is not going to win.  Paul points out that Sheamus has cashed in before and he will ensure that it does not happen again.

Drew tells Paul to make his point. Paul says this great man, whose reputation is beyond reproach and he has an announcement to make.

Pierce tells Drew and Sheamus that he was a bit hasty in putting them both in the Money in the Bank match.  Neither of you lost the match, but neither of you won the match.  After some ‘influence’ by Mr. Heyman, he says that his decision has been overruled.  Neither will be part of the Money in the Bank match.

Sheamus calls Adam spineless. Adam says there is a path forward.  You can qualify if you team together and defeat the Usos. The Usos appears on the stage as we go to commercial.

Kayla asks if Sami will cash in on Roman or Brock. Sami says he is not going to cash in on Roman.  He is going to protect Roman.

After the brave and courageous Natalya almost made me tap, I realized the Sharpshooter is more dangerous than the arm bar and I cannot beat Natalya.  Natalya says she is going to tap out.  She apologizes to her fans and says the best thing to do is to hand over her Smackdown title to Natalya, retire, grab my diaper bag, push my stroller, and leave while I can.  Right now, as a competitor, I am the saddest woman on the planet.

Ronda’s music plays and the real one makes her way to the stage.

Ronda says she almost didn’t recognize Nattie.  You can dress up like me, but we could not be any more different.  I am not going to pass up having children.  I am not going to seek out unreasonable beauty standards like you.  I am not going to hand over my title to you.  You feel that you are entitled to the title.  You are a Hart.  The truth is that you are so lacking in national talent and lacking in charisma, the closest you will become to a top attraction in this company is to dress like me.
