WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: KNOCK KNOCK KNOCKING ON ALEISTER'S DOOR, FIGHTING FOR HER FRIEND, KOFI VERSUS ZIGGLER AGAIN, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2019-06-25 21:59:00

Last night, Roman Reigns was in a handicap match but then he found help from an unlikely source, the Undertaker. 

We are in Portland, Oregon and your announcers are Tom Phillips, Corey Graves, and Byron Saxton.

Shane McMahon says that Roman Reigns had to face his two toughest rivals and Roman became desperate and he called on the Undertaker.  Shane says he fears no man dead or alive.  Shane says that Roman will be a dead man at Extreme Rules.  Shane tells the roster not to get on his bad side because he is pissed.

The New Day make their way to the ring.  

Kofi says hello to the people of Portland.  He says since he won the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania, he has faced some of the greatest moments of his career and of his life.  On the flip side, he has also experienced some of the most painful, agonizing and brutalizing moments.  Defending the title in a steel cage on Sunday was a combination of those.  Kofi says he had to take an actual leap of faith over Dolph Ziggler to be victorious.  Before he had a chance to celebrate and take a victory lap, this happened on Raw.

We see Samoa Joe attacking Kofi on Raw.  

Kofi says that was brutal, devastating, agonizing, and incredibly painful.  Samoa Joe is not a complicated man.  He is like a force of nature.  When he has the Coquina Clutch around you, it is like a great white shark.  Samoa Joe thinks that at Extreme Rules, he is a shark that has found his prey, but he will be damned if he will let Joe eat him alive.

Dolph Ziggler makes his way to the stage.  Dolph says he will not let this happen again.  Dolph says he did the heavy lifting and the hard work and someone is going to take his spot?  It is not going down that way.  You know better than this.

Kofi asks how many times does he have to beat him.

Dolph says this is not a joke.  This is his life and career.  You know that Xavier Woods saved you at Super Showdown.  At Stomping Grounds, we went face to face inside a steel cage for the WWE Title and what happened?  You took the coward's way out and leapt through the door to save your title.  Everyone knows he should be WWE Champion right now.

Dolph says if he wins his match against Kofi tonight, he will be added to the WWE title match at Extreme Rules.  Then and only then will he truly get what he deserves, the WWE Championship.

Dolph says since he was talking with management that you cannot take the coward's way out.  It is a two out of three falls match.  Dolph wishes Kofi luck.

Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan walk in the back as we go to commercial.

Elias is in the hallway and Miz wants to know if Shane is in his office.  Elias says that Shane is not in a good mood after what happened last night.  He tells Miz that he is dead man walking if he goes in there.  Elias strums his guitar and Miz wants to know if Elias is done.  Elias says he will keep on playing but Miz stops him and he tells Elias if he strums it again, he will shove it up the dark side of his moon.  MIz tells Elias to tells Shane that they are not done and he wants another shot at Shane before the Undertaker puts him six feet under.
