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 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.

John Cena makes his way to the ring.  

John comments on Roman's missionary position comment and then he welcomes everyone to Smackdown.  John mentions the contract signing and he is happy for Finn Balor but he says that Roman Reigns sucks.  He says that Roman is a scared little kid.  Roman accepts Finn's challenge and Roman rejects John.  John says he has no problem with rejection.  It was his reasons.   He talked about how he didn't change his music, his look, or who he is.  He says that is so stupid.  That is like asking Steve Austin to come back to the WWE as Sasquatch Steve Houston.  It would be like the Rock coming back to the WWE as Dwayne 'Too Small' Johnson.  He talks about his possible new catchphrase.

He says they stand proud in this ring every night and they don't beg you to acknowledge them.  They allow you to boo and cheer.  Roman expected him to change because that is what Roman has to do.  John says Roman has to change every two years because you stop caring about him.  You stop caring about him because you don't believe in him.  You don't believe in Roman because he does not believe in himself.  Roman is a lazy stooge named Joe who coasts by on every gimmick.  John says he would have embarrassed Roman's ass at SummerSlam.  You rejected me not because how I look, but because of how I would make you look.

Baron Corbin comes out and he says they need to talk.  

John says that the crowd is chanting 'you suck' but John says he doesn't know who he is.  

Corbin gets on the apron and John realizes that it is Baron Corbin.  He tells Corbin he looks horrible.

Cena agrees with Corbin's assessment about himself. 

Corbin says he wants to talk to John and he says he is desperate.  Baron says his life is falling apart.  He lost his crown, his cars, he is going to lose his house.  Someone stole his identity and his credit is trash.  Baron mentions he sustained an injury to a sensitive part of his body.  Baron says he is unable to . . . 

John says surf the internet, eat breakfast cereal.

Baron says he cannot perform.  Baron says his wife left and she took the kids.  Baron says he saw the charitable John Cena who grants so many wishes.  He asks if John can help him.  

John says he loves himself some audience participation and he asks the crowd if they should help him.

They do not think he should be helped.

John gives Baron some money and Baron says that John is rich.  He says it doesn't have to be money.  He asks John to put him in his next movie or Suicide Squad.  

John says they finished filming Suicide Squad and it debuts on Friday.  

Baron says he will be John's stunt double.  Baron asks John if he is going to kick a poor man when he is down.  Baron says that John is a selfish, self-absorbed, tight wad with an ego the size of California.  He calls John a 'Hollywood sell out'.

John suggests that we help this man.  John says he will give Baron something.  Something that he desperately needs . . . an attitude adjustment.  Cena gets Corbin up for an Attitude Adjustment and hits it.

Rey Mysterio is in the back and Dominik shows up and he tells Rey that he will keep his eye on Jey while Rey fights Jimmy.  Rey tells Dominik he is proud of the competitor he has become.  Rey says that Dominik needs to step up his game and not make rookie mistakes so they can win back the tag titles.  He tells Dominik to watch him tonight.

Bianca says these past few months have been amazing.  Winning an ESPY and winning the title at Wrestlemania.  Now being in front of all of you.  She says she doesn't know how to top it . . . 

Carmella comes out and she congratulates Bianca on 100 days.  If you really want to cement your legacy, you should give one more title match to someone who has held the title for 130 days.  That would be the person who is known as the most beautiful woman in WWE.   Carmella says she knows that she deserves it.  The lights last week were too bright.

Zelina Vega comes out and she tells Carmella to slow her roll.  You are too pretty to be a third time loser.  Bianca, I am going to say it to your face.  

Zelina says she thinks the WWE Universe wants to see you challenge a rising star like me.  I am the moment and no one is more deserving than me.  Accept my challenge, Bianca.

Bianca says Zelina is on. 

Carmella attacks Bianca from behind and Zelina joins in and she kicks Bianca.  Carmella and Zelina continue to work over Bianca and . . .

Sasha picks up Bianca and hugs her.  Sasha raises her hand.

We take a look back at Nia Jax turning her back on Reginald.

We are back and Reginald is ambushed by Kayla Braxton and he wants Kayla to call him Reggie.  She asks him about the title.  Reggie says he would do anything to get to the WWE, whether it is to help Carmella, Sasha or Nia.  He is looking forward to his title match.  He says he has to be ready for any opponent at any time.  He is looking over his shoulder.  He says he has a rear view mirror on his shopping cart.  His head has always been on a swivel.  It is only second nature.  Whoever decides to challenge me should expect the unexpected.
