CORBIN FALLS FURTHER INTO THE ABYSS: LIVE ONGOING WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT

By Richard Trionfo on 2021-07-09 19:59:00

We begin with a look back at what has happened over the last few weeks with Edge, Roman Reigns, and Jimmy Uso.

We are in Tampa, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

Paul Heyman is outside Roman’s office and Jimmy Uso wants to enter.  Paul stops Jimmy and he says that Roman has a lot on his plate that he has to deal with.  He tells Jimmy that Roman will give him his full attention tonight and Jimmy will get it.

Roman Reigns stands in the Gorilla Position and Paul Heyman shows up to carry the belt to the ring.

Roman finally takes the mic and he says he knows a lot of you at home didn’t like the fact that I wasn’t present last week.  There is a lot about last week that I didn’t like.  If there is one thing that stood out that I won’t stand for is a liar like Edge.  To come out and say that I fear him and that he is in my head.  Roman says he is an honest man and I will tell the truth.  In our Wrestlemania match, for maybe one moment, fear can sometimes happen.  Maybe 10 or 20 seconds when he had me in that hold and had that bar across my face, maybe there was some fear.

What did that do?  It propelled me like every piece of adversity and I picked myself up.  What happened?  I smashed ’em, I stacked ’em, and I pinned ’em.  Don’t come out here and say you are in my head and I fear you.  The only reason you got to me a few weeks ago was not due to fear, but I was not focused.  I was busy dealing with family issues that you weren’t on my mind.

While we are talking about family, it might be time to handle some business.

Jimmy Uso’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.  

Jimmy asks why did Roman think he got in Edge’s face last week?  It wasn’t for me, it was for us.  You must have been on vacation last week because I showed up.

Roman asks Jimmy when did he tell Jimmy to do things for us or make decisions for us?  If anyone deserves a vacation, it is him but he doesn’t take vacations.  He was busy doing Jimmy’s job.

The Uso’s music plays and Jey Uso makes his way to the ring.

Jey says he is back but not for any of them, but for all of them.  Your right hand man is back.  Jey tells Jimmy it is time to get back to work doing what they do best and that is become 7 time tag team champions.

Roman says he has been saying it all along.  That is all he wants.  You choose what you want to hear but I have been saying it.  Seven time tag team champions.  Universal Champion for however long I want to be.  We do it together, on the same page, all of us working together.  Can’t nobody touch us if we do it my way.

Roman holds his arms out and Paul takes the mic so we can get a family hug.

Roman hugs them, but he has a devious look on his face.

Baron Corbin is in the back and he is growing hair. 

Kayla asks Baron about his history with Nakamura and the match tonight.

Baron says he needs to win and he says his life is a mess.  I have lost my money, my crown, my car, and I have missed a few house payments and they are talking about foreclosure.  Baron says he needs that Money in the Bank contract.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Big E makes his way to the ring to watch the next match at the commentary table.
