CAN JINDER GET THE JOB DONE?, CREATIVE CAN'T MESS THIS UP (I HOPE), STYLES VS. OWENS, 6 WOMEN ACTION, FINALLY SOMETHING WORTH WATCHING AS SAMI ZAYN TOOK ON BARON CORBIN, THE TAG TITLES WERE JUST DEFENDED IN SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T EVEN ACCURATELY DESCRIBE, THE NAKAMURA MAGIC COMES TO SMACKDOWN IN ENTRANCE ONLY TO BE FORGOTTEN BY THE BOOKING, TYE VS. ENGLISH - FULL BACKLASH PPV BLOG

Sami was selling his lower back when he started to fire back.  And the, he ran into a huge clothesline and got laid out for a two count.  He ran into a backbreaker for another two.  Corbin is getting a little frustrated that he can't put him away.

Baron wen to kill Corbin on the ropes but Sami came back with a Sunset Flip powerbomb and got a two. Corbin blocked a DDT and an Exploder.  Sami got a two with a Crucifix but got nailed with Deep Six for a two.  They are working hard and this is very good.

Then, out of almost nowhere, Sami hit the Helluva Kick when Corbin messed up and got the win.  This is easily the best thing on the show so far.

Jinder showed up and said we are haters and hate him because of how he looks and talks.  Yay, racism angles.  They always do great business.  Just look at the Iraqi angle in LA and how great that did. Oy.  I heard my first CM Punk chant FYI.

James Ellsworth came out and mocked the crowd.  He called them sausages.  Then he introduced Carmella.  Six women tag match is next.  Heels out first.  Then Becky, with a Sheamus hairdo.  The Charlotte.  And finally Naomi.  Wanna see Becky's hair?

Naomi got the biggest pop.  So of course, Becky started for her team and did OK.  Then Charlotte came in and the heels worked her over.  Elite member Jonathin Morse posted this on my Facebook.  I agree 100 percent. "Charlotte as a face doesnt work. I don't like her doing her fathers moves all of a sudden. The rolling knee, and the turnbuckle flop even though it wasn't the whole thing."

Anyway, Naomi tagged in, to a big pop, but quickly got attacked by the Welcoming Committee.  Carmella was having fun mocking Charlotte.  The heels worked Naomi over for a while but she finally got a flying headscissors.  She tagged in Sheamus Lynch and she cleaned house.  She got a two on Nattie.  Then she locked on the Disarmer but Carmella ran in to break it up.  Becky had Nattie but Tamina came in.  That allowed Nattie to lock on The Sharpshooter and the heels won.  It was what it was.

AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens for the US Title is up next.  I can count on these guys to deliver.  I know I can.  Both guys got pops coming out.  The crowd is live for this as the bell rings and they hook up. 

They felt each other out early before KO took control and got a few near falls.  AJ made his comeback with quick strikes and a forearm.  He got a few near falls as well.  It's early in the match.  At least I hope it is.

KO came back with a really painful looking neckbreaker.  You couldn't pay me to take that.  They are more man than me.  Two count only.  First This is Awesome chant that I heard tonight just happened.  KO dumped Styles onto the floor, where he writhed in pain.  KO went up to the top and AJ got up and stopped him.  He set up for the Clash on the apron but KO got out and attacked AJ's faux injured leg.  He hit the cannonball in the corner and then went to work on the leg with a cannonball.  He put AJ in a single leg crab.  Then he did an Ankle Lock but AJ made the rope for the break.

They went up to the second rope where KO got caught in a powerbomb when AJ fought out.  He went up for the Forearm but the leg gave out.  KO used it to get a two count.
