Smackdown Live

3 weeks till Extreme Rules

Lilith walked out with The United States Championship on her shoulder

Greg: Ladies and gentlemen, Smackdown Live General Manager, Lilith Ace.

Tom: Welcome to Smackdown Live. Tom Philips, Corey Graves and Bryon Saxton. As you can see Smackdown GM, Lilith Ace holding The United States Championship.

Last weeks main event saw Brick and Raij face each other again. After a Powerball, Brick went for the pin and Raij put the champion in a Triangle Chokehold.

Raij's shoulder was done. At the 3rd count, Brick started tapping out. The referees discuss what happen with Lilith and she's going to deal her decision right now.

Lilith: Welcome to Smackdown Live. After last weeks confusion and going through with my decision on the winner of The United States Championship Match between Brick and Raij.

I would like both participants to come to the ring right now.

Raij walked out with The Queen of The Ring, Ruby Riott and The Smackdown Tag Team Champions, Jasper Goodnight and Dekker.

Graves: 6ixx coming out to celebrate with the new US Champion.

6ixx enter the ring, receiving a puzzled look from Lilith.

Lilith: I asked the participants of The United States Championship Match to come out. Where in that did I say Ruby, Dekker, and Jasper to come out as well?

Ruby: We know what will happen when Raij gets the title. Brick will rip him apart. We're here so that won't happen.

Lilith rolles her eyes at Riott as they wait for Brick. The Monstro of Mexico walked out towards the ring.

Tom: Over the weekend, Brick was acting strange. On Twitter, he was being nice to Lilith. He's usually not a nice person to be around.

Saxton: He's hoping that he keeps the title. Why do you think he kisses up to Lilith.

Brick: Thank you, Ms. Ace. If these gang of vandals give you trouble, I'll break them.

Lilith: Thank you, Brick. But I can handle myself.

Now, all of last week and over the weekend, I've been watching the footage, talking to both Senior Official Charles Robinson and John Cone who was the referee of the match.

Robinson says Brick tapped out before the third count can be mad, declaring Raij as the winner. Cone says his hand was down before Brick tapped out, declaring Brick as the winner.

My call on the match is...a draw.

Raij and Brick were confused at The GM's call, asking her who won the US title.

Lilith: Due to the draw, a championship does not change hands. Therefore, Brick is still The United States Champion.

Being given his title back, Brick celebrated, hopping on the turnbuckle and raise it high. 6ixx wasn't having it.

Ruby: You only gave him the title back because your Brother in Law will face him for the championship!

Lilith: Brick having the title means he put it on the line at Extreme Rules against Rahzel...and Raij.

Brick stopped celebrating when he heard that Raij was added to his match against Rahzel at Extreme Rules.

Lilith: Between you two and Rahzel, this Extreme Rules match has just got more fuel added to the fire. Good luck men.

Tom: What a bombshell drop! Brick retain The United States Championship, but The Extreme Rules Match is now a Triple Threat.

Graves: Brick is besides himself right now. Raij is happy. But, how is The Big Bad Wolf handling the news?

Renee Young stood next to The Miz for an interview.

Renee: Miz, in a couple of weeks, you'll be facing Roman Reigns for The WWE Championship at Extreme Rules.

Tonight,you'll be facing someone you might meet at Summerslam if you win The WWE Championship, Rahzel.

Miz: If I win? At Extreme Rules, I'm going to put a end to The Roman Reigns Experiment and take back my WWE Championship.

But for Rahzel, I'm going to give him a preview on what I'm going to do to him at Summerslam.

Brick was resting after his match against Scottie Ace. But he was surrounded by 6ixx with the exception of his former best friend and partner, Raij.

Ruby: Brick, how many times will Lilith screw you over for her Brother in Law? You could've been King of The Ring. But who won? Rahzel, the man that caused your ankle injury and replaced you.

The man that Lilith wants to take your United States Championship. The man that's going after The WWE Championship that should be your opportunity.

Everytime, it's Rahzel this, Rahzel that. When will it end? At Extreme Rules. You and Raij just have to take out Rahzel.

How bout it? An enemy of an enemy is a friend.

Brick: Raij sent you here to buddy himself with me again. Tell him to shove this idea up his ass. I'm walking in with The US title and walking out of Extreme Rules with it.

Rahzel and Raij won't be walking after the match.

Brick stares down Ruby, Jasper, and Dekker before leaving the room.

The Miz vs Rahzel (KotR)

Later on

The Miz start to do Daniel Bryan's Yes Kicks on Rahzel's chest. The A-Lister continue with the strikes, but it wasn't affecting The Big Bad Wolf.

Zell stood up, sneering at The Miz, grabbing his right leg. He pulled his opponent over to him, wrap his arms around and hit a Release Belly to Belly Suplex.

Miz wobbled up on his feet, see that his stomach wrap with arms and was pulled backwards in a German Suplex.

Tom: Rahzel is fired up!

The Big Bad Wolf pick The Hollywood Star up on his shoulders, drop him on the top turnbuckle, running off the ropes.

Zell charge towards his opponent, ready to hit him with his forearm. But Miz dodge the shot, roll him up in a pin.

1, 2

The ref stop when he saw Miz's feet on the ropes. The Miz plead that he wasn't cheating, but one person didn't care for pleads.

Rahzel went for a forearm, but Miz ducked out of the way. Zell stopped before he knocked out the referee, but he was in position for The Skull Crushing Finale.

The A-Lister went to hit his finisher, but it was reverse into a Ripcord Forearm shot by Zell.

After the hit, Rahzel hit perform another Ripcord, hitting a DDT this time and transitioning into a The Armlock Crossface.

Tom: Miz is trap! Rahzel got this!

Graves: What the?!

Rahzel was attacked by Raij and Jasper. The referee called for the bell. The partners stomped on The Big Bad Wolf.

Dekker slide in three steel chairs before entering the ring. The three male members of 6ixx take turns in slamming the chair on Rahzel's back.

Tom: Somebody stop these guys!

Raij took his chair and jab the midsection of Zell while Jasper and Dekker trash talk.

Ruby got up on the apron, telling her teammates to go backstage. All of them walk up the ramp.

Brick walked out, eyeing 6ixx as they made their way backstage. The Monstro took apart the top half of the steel steps, sliding it in the ring.

He hover over his former best friend who was holding his sides.

Brick: Hurts don't it? That's what happens when the spotlight is on someone that isn't ready for it.

Brick took the steps and slam them on Zell. He continue his beatdown on his ex best friend till the referees came in the ring.

The United States Champion raise his title over The Big Bad Wolf.

Tom: Brick and Raij working together to take out Rahzel and after this beatdown, the triple threat match is looking like a 2 on 1 match.

Graves: Doesn't this look familiar? This is karma for Rahzel. The two men he called friends beating him up like he did to them.
