WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: THE 24/7 TITLE SHOWS UP ON SMACKDOWN, A CONTRACT SIGNING THAT CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN THE WWE, SHE'S BACK AND HASN'T CHANGED ONE BIT, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2021-07-30 21:57:00

We are back and the table is in the ring with the chairs and pretty carpet.  Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce are in the ring for a contract signing.  Adam says they are here to make sure that this contract is signed, sealed, and delivered.

Finn Balor makes his way to the ring.

He is followed to the ring by Universal Champion Roman Reigns and the Roman Tabernacle Choir of Paul Heyman.  Jimmy and Jey Uso are not with Roman and Paul.

Roman looks at Paul and Paul has Adam and Sonya move from the head of the table (because they didn't think to turn the table).

Adam says they have had a chance to review the contract and he tell them they can sign it if they like what is in the contract.  

Roman takes his mic while the crowd chants for Cena. 

Roman says we have already seen Mr. Missionary tonight.  Roman asks Finn if he caught Cena's opening promo.  He says that by accepting Finn's challenge, Cena says that Roman is ducking him.  Roman says that John thinks that Finn is a lesser person than him.  Roman says he doesn't think this.  He thinks Finn is worthy to challenge for the Universal Championship.  I think you are worthy to take this beat down at SummerSlam.  I don't think you are like John using the same shtick.  You are hungry.  If you sign this contract, I am going to smash you and send you right back to NXT.  

Roman signs the contract.  

Finn says you think pretty highly of yourself and justifiably so.  It will be my privilege to return to NXT as the Universal Champion.

Finn starts to sign the contract but Baron Corbin attacks Balor and Corbin sends Balor to the floor and over the ringside barrier.

Baron Corbin has the contract and starts to sign it but Cena sends Corbin into the ring post.

John takes the contract and he has a Sharpie so you can see his signature.

We are back and Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville walk with the contract and they see Paul Heyman.

Paul congratulates them on the job they did but Paul wants to know what is going to happen at SummerSlam.  Paul mentions that Finn's name is on the contract and John's signature is on the contract.  Adam says he sees the contracts and that is good enough for him.  Sonya says the contract is ratified and Cena will face Roman for the title at SummerSlam.

Match Number Three:  Cesaro, Big E, and Shinsuke Nakamura (with Rick Boogs) versus Dolph Ziggler, Robert Roode, and Apollo Crews (with Commander Azeez)

Big E and Crews start things off and Big E with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex.  Crews with a knee to Big E and Crews sends Big E to the floor.  Roode with a spinebuster while Ziggler hits a Zig Zag on Big E on the floor as we go to commercial.

We are back and Cesar tags in and Cesaro wtih an uppercut to Ziggler and a boot to Crews to knock him off the apron.  Cesaro with a clothesline to Ziggler for a near fall.  Cesaro with the Giant Swing.  Cesaro wtih a Sharpshooter but Roode pulls Ziggler to the apron.  Nakamura tags in and hits a knee off the turnbuckles for a near fall.   Ziggler with a Zig Zag when Nakamura goes for Kinshasa.  Crews tags in and he hits a standing moonsault on Nakamura for a near fall.  Roode with a spinebuster to Nakamura.  Big E with a Big Ending to Roode.  Ziggler with a Fameasser.  Crews with a German suplex for a near fall on Nakamura.  

Boogs plays his guitar to distract Crews and Azeez throws Boogs into the announce table.  Cesaro with a European uppercut to Azeez.  Ziggler with a super kick to Cesaro.  Nakamura avoids Crews and hits Kinshasa for the three count.

Winners:  Big E, Shinsuke Nakamura, and Cesaro

We take a look back at what happened with Edge and Seth Rollins last week.

Edge makes his way to the ring.  

We go to commercial.

Seth Rollins is standing in the ring and we see what happened during the commercial.  Seth Rollins and the amazing Technicolor dream suit attacks Edge and sends him into the ringside barrier.  Rollins with a boot to the head.  Rollins hits Edge with a video camera.

Seth tells everyone to shut up and listen to him.  Seth says that all Edge has done is take and take and take from him and he is sick of it.  He says what goes around comes around and that is why it is called a revolution.  Seth says he is a revolutionary.  

We have a video package.

Seth says he is not ashamed of anything that he has done.  He says he is proud of that.  That was the hard thing to do.  That was the right thing to do.  He says he is the rightful heir to the Universal Championship.  If I cannot be the Universal Champion, then neither can Edge.

We go to commercial.

We are back with a look at what happened during the contract signing.

Next week, the two men who did not get to sign the contract will face off next week when Finn Balor faces Baron Corbin.
