Tom

: Welcome to Smackdown Live. Tom Philips, Bryon Saxton, Corey Graves. What a night Extreme Rules was. Now, we're on the way to Summerslam.

The WWE Championship on the line tonight as Roman Reigns takes on Shinsuke Nakamura and General Manager Lilith Ace has a special announcement dealing with Summerslam.

Saxton: Speaking of Summerslam, here comes the #1 Contender for the WWE Championship.

Greg: On his way to the ring, the 2019 King of The Ring and the new United States Champion, The Big Bad Wolf, Rahzel.

Tom: Rahzel defeated his former best friends, Raij and Brick to grab the United States Championship this past Sunday.

Graves: You think he would look excited about it. Rahzel looks like someone peed in his Corn Flakes.

Rahzel took the mic, holding the US Championship on his left shoulder. The look of disappointment and anger on his face.

"This past Sunday, I took this title off an unworthy bastard who almost took me out of action. A unworthy bastard who couldn't get the damn job done! He left me breathing when he should've killed me when he had the chance.

"Brick and Raij tried to work together, even had the help with 6ixx and still couldn't get the job done. I was beat up by 4 men and I still walked away with the United States Championship.

"If there was a certain Champion that I will face in a couple of weeks watched the match and hears what I'm saying, he may learn something.

"Anyway, I wasn't happy about Extreme Rules was that my victims were able to breathe. Raij may have tapped out, but he knows what it's like to be in Zellthanasia.

"But you, Brick. You can't escape death's grip. So bring your ass out and receive your punishment."

Tom: The Monstro of Mexico doesn't look too happy.

The Big Bad Wolf didn't wait for long as Brick walked out, in a sour mood.

Brick: You think you're Death, huh? Don't worry Rahzel. You'll be close to Death after I'm done with you. You didn't defeat me last Sunday. How bout you put my title on the line, right here, right now.

"You want your title? Get in here and I'll put it on the line!"

Brick started making his way down to the ring. But the music of the Smackdown Commissioner stop him. Shane shuffled to the stage, mic in hand.

Shane: You two don't make the matches around here. Lilith and I do. Rahzel, I know you want a piece of Brick tonight. Brick, you want your Championship.

Tonight, you two will get your wish as the United States Championship will be on the line when Rahzel will go against Brick...

The Monstro and Big Bad Wolf smiled as they get what they want. A hard hitting match between two men that hate each other.

Shane: And Raij.

With a quick turn around, Brick look at the Commissioner as the little rascal of the RowdyRuff Boyz was between him and Rahzel.

Shane: This time, it will be contested in a ladder match. Only one ladder between the three of you. If y'all destroy it, y'all will have to find a way to get the title down.

Graves: This is insane! Shane is screwing with Brick just like Lilith screwed him over. Brick wants Zell one on one!

6ixx member and former RowdyRuff Boy, Raij walked out, standing by Shane. Brick, remembering what Raij did to him a night ago and being the reason he lost the US Championship started to come over toward him.

The Smackdown Commissioner was the only one stopping The Monstro from harming The Golden Boy.

Raij: First and foremost, thank you, Shane for giving me another opportunity at the United States Championship.

I would like to apologize again to you, Brick for last night because I wanted to help you take out Rahzel. Because of your trust issues, you lost the title.

Tonight, you and I will be on the same page and Rahzel will lose that Championship tonight!

But, Shane, let me ask what if that isn't the only thing Mr. Big Bad Emo Furry can lose. How about he puts his #1 Contender to the WWE Championship at Summerslam as well.

The Big Bad Wolf snarled at his former friends. Shane looked over to the King of The Ring winner for his answer.

"If you two idiots want to get your ass kicked all over this arena, fine! My United States title and WWE Championship match."

Tom: A ladder match for the United States Championship and the WWE Championship match at Summerslam.

Graves: Rahzel will know how Brick feel two nights ago. When he lose everything, he'll have himself to blame.

Dasha

Who would you like to face?

Roman: Dasha, it doesn't matter who wins tonight. The Big Bad Wolf, India's Golden Boy, or the Monstro of Mexico, I'm walking Summerslam as the WWE Champion and I'm walking out as the WWE Champion. I will be watching tonight.

United States Championship

Ladder Match

(Winner faces WWE Champion at Summerslam)

Rahzel (C/KOTR) vs Raij vs Brick

Tom

: Brick has Rahzel up for a Powerbomb. Heading towards the ladder. Woah!

Graves: Tossing The Big Bad Wolf on the hard ladder, hurting his back.

The ring was a mess with weapons scattered around. Singapore cane split to pieces, tables broken.

The Big Bad Wolf was laying on the canvas. Raij was outside recovering after Zell and Brick beat him down with steel chairs.

The Monstro toss Rahzel on the side, grabbing the ladder, positioning and started climbing

Tom: Both Raij and Rahzel are down. Brick is climbing. This will make him a four time US Champion and #1 Contender at Summerslam!

The Monstro stopped in the middle when his foot was grabbed. Looking down, he saw Raij on his leg.

Raij: W-we did it.

Brick: You did nothing, you useless bastard.

With some stomps to the face, the Golden Boy fell down, rolling out of the ring and on a table. Brick turn around to look at Raij who was out of his way.

Brick: You are nothin-

The Monstro felt an arm wrap around his neck, squeezing the air out of him. Rahzel was behind the side Brick was on.

Saxton: Rahzel! He told Brick he will feel death's grip.

Trying to fight out of the Headlock, Brick was fading faster.

"I told you I'll put you down."

The Big Bad Wolf push Brick off the ladder and watch him crash on the mat.

Moving around the section of the structure, Rahzel climb up the ladder and pull down the United States Championship.

Greg: Here's your winner and still United States Champion, Rahzel!

Tom: With the odds against him and the punishment he taken, Rahzel is the US Champion.

Graves: Also he keeps his opportunity at the WWE-

Outside the ring, Rahzel stop walking as the music of the WWE Champion. Roman Reigns walked out with the title in his hand.

The two future opponents shared a glance at each other. The Big Dog motioning, telling him to watch this.

Raij used the table to help him stand up. But he would taken down when Reigns jumped on the apron, hitting him with flying boot. The Golden Boy rolled on the table to the other side of it, hitting the floor.

Sliding in the ring and kicking the ladder out of the way, The Powerhouse of the Shield went to the corner, watching Brick rise up on his feet.

Doing his taunt, he charged towards The Monstro, spearing him into the mat.

Tom: The Big Dog showing his dominance in front of his Summerslam opponent.

Graves: The yard is belongs to one man and he's holding up the championship Zell wants.

Rahzel enter the ring and the two men lock in a stare off.

Saxton: Looks like Summerslam may be a little early.

Lilith walked out to the stage, applauding the two men in the ring.

Lilith: Look at you two guys, ready to start Summerslam early. Well, calm down because I'll be damned if Raw main events the Biggest Party of the Summer.

At Summerslam, it's the Big Bad Wolf against the Big Dog. But with you two in the same ring, I have a better idea. The WWE Championship will be on the line. It just won't be the only title on the line.

It will be the United States Champion, Rahzel vs the WWE Champion, Roman Reigns in a Winner Takes All Match!

Tom: That is huge. Rahzel and Reigns will fight for both the WWE and United States Championship at Summerslam.

Saxton: Those two will battle till only one will become a duel champion.

Graves: Summerslam can't come earlier.
