Twelve nights before SummerSlam, the 886th edition of WWE SmackDown Live came to you, live, from the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, CA. Here’s all the action that went down.

Randy Orton, meanwhile, blasted Alberto Del Rio with an RKO after the Mexican had got himself disqualified during their match by wrapping a steel chair around Orton’s shoulder.
Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler joined forces to beat Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan on Tuesday’s Smackdown Live, although the partnership didn’t run altogether smoothly. Now, with less than two weeks before SummerSlam, will we see any retaliation from Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose against Bray Wyatt & Erick Rowan? Instead of saying anything, Ziggler just enters the ring and starts attacking Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan.
Ambrose did not forget Ziggler’s error and laid out his SummerSlam rival with Dirty Deeds after the duo had won their tag-team match. Gable says they’re lighting a fire beneath the other tag teams and raising the competition. Randy Orton takes on Alberto Del Rio, and American Alpha returns to in-ring action.
Since Eva Marie got “hurt” last week, she could not compete against Becky Lynch.
Since Eva Marie dodges another match opportunity, Becky Lynch issues an open challenge that is accepted by Alexa Bliss. Alexa Bliss defeats Becky Lynch. Which was all that Alexa needed to take down Becky with a Twisted Bliss off the top rope for a Smackdown victory.
The preview gained from the WWE.com also points out this evening’s potential new SmackDown titles. And then things got weird as Scooby locked the Miz in the back of his truck and stole a auto.

Carmella prevailed on her Smackdown bow, too, overcoming Natalya with Code of Silence, while Baron Corbin attacked Kalisto backstage. Wyatt also says that SmackDown is his show now. With the ref’s back turned however, Rowan would quickly clothesline Ziggler and set up an opportunity for Wyatt to land a powerslam, but a missed Senton Bomb opportunity would give Wyatt the chance to tag Ambrose back in.
