My Thoughts on SmackDown (9/6/16): Alexa Bliss From Outta Nowhere

• We kick off the show with Daniel Bryan in the ring with the SmackDown Women's Championship. He hypes up the Six-Pack Challenge at Backlash this Sunday for the title and explains the match will be elimination. He also announces a six-woman tag match tonight and that they will be doing a championship forum right now. He brings out Becky Lynch before plugging Total Bellas to a lot of boos. Becky says becoming the first SmackDown Women's Champion would mean everything and would be the payoff for everything she's fought for. Outcomes Natalya, who says Becky is boring. She has no room to talk. Natalya says the night she & Becky got drafted to the same show was the worst night of her career. Literally out of nowhere, no music or anything, Alexa Bliss comes out and slams Natalya, Becky, and even Bryan. Also out of nowhere, Carmella comes in and the heels argue. They make up and get ready to beat up Becky, but Naomi and Nikki Bella run down to even the odds. Nikki gets floored by Carmella before Naomi & Becky clear the ring. Pretty lame segment in all honesty.
• Backstage, Dean Ambrose does stuff at catering.
• There was something with the Miz & Daniel Bryan that I missed while I was getting food.
• The Miz vs Apollo Crews with Dolph Ziggler on commentary-Crews quickly floors Miz with a shoulder tackle and takes control with waist lock takedowns. Miz forces Crews into the corner, but Crews overpowers him and blocks a snapmare before hitting a dropkick. Miz goes to the outside, only to eat a moonsault from the apron before the commercial break. We come back to Miz hitting the knee breaker/neckbreaker combo for a near-fall. Miz continues to work over Crews before Crews almost gets the win off a sunset flip. Miz hits the corner clothesline, but Crews catches him on a double ax handle and hits an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Crews runs wild, hitting a Stinger Splash and a jumping clothesline. Miz blocks the spin-out powerbomb and dips out of the ring before punching Ziggler. The two argue before Crews slides out of the ring. Miz dodges and shoves Crews into Ziggler, allowing him to roll Crews back in and hit the Skull Crushing Finale for the win. Fine match, nothing special. After the match, Ziggler takes the title and tells Miz to come get it. Instead, he tells Maryse to go get it. Ziggler calls him a coward.
• On the SmackDown interview set, Renee Young interviews AJ Styles. The replay Styles hilarious sell of getting crotched on the top rope. Styles gets mad at a tech guy for showing the footage before threatening him and shoving him away.
• The Usos get interviewed. They say American Alpha deserve to be on SmackDown, but they still run the tag team division.
• Bray Wyatt cut a promo.
• Nikki Bella, Becky Lynch, and Naomi vs Natalya, Alexa Bliss, and Carmella-Naomi & Alexa start off with Alexa slapping Naomi. Naomi immediately kicks her to the ground, so she tags in Carmella. Naomi tags in Becky and she and Carmella go back and forth before Becky almost gets the win with a roll up. Nikki tags in and Carmella runs out of the ring before the commercial break. We come back to Becky getting the hot tag and running wild on Carmella, hitting the Bex-Ploder for a near-fall. The heels use the numbers game to yank Becky off the apron and give Carmella the control. The heels work over Becky before she dodges an elbow drop from Alexa Bliss and tags in Nikki. Nikki runs wild on Alexa, hitting the corner enziguri before Alexa tags in Carmella. Carmella takes a TKO, but Alexa breaks up the cover. Everyone gets their spots in before Carmella locks in the Code of Silence for the win. Nothing match.
• The Usos vs American Alpha-The two teams shake hands, only for the Usos to blindside Gable & Jordan as soon as the bell rings. They single out Jordan and mess up a Samoan drop spot, only Gable to come back in, send one Uso from the ring and hit Grand Amplitude on the other for the win. Afterward, the Usos congratulate American Alpha, only to superkick Jordan and attack Gable. They injure Gable's left leg with a kick and a splash on the leg.
• Randy Orton gets interviewed. He says Wyatt likes to tell stories, so Orton tells one.
• Fandango is out and says Tyler Breeze isn't there because he's looking for the finest silks for their next fashion show. He brings a random woman into the ring to dance with, but Fandango doesn't like her dancing. He sends her off and out comes Kane. He says he likes Kane's fire and asks if he wants to dance. Kane chokeslams him before mocking the Fandangoing.
• Backstage, AJ Styles breaks a guy's phone.
• Another Curt Hawkins vignette, announcing he will be returning next week.
• The Hype Bros vs Heath Slater & Rhyno-Slater & Rhyno start with Slater hitting an Atomic Drop before Ryder hits a top rope dropkick. Rawley tags in and chop blocks Slater before sending him from the ring. The Hype Bros take out both Slater & Rhyno on the outside before the commercial break. We come back to Rawley working over Slater until Slater dodges a Stinger Splash and tags in Rhyno. Rhyno runs wild on Ryder, hitting a spinebuster before Rawley breaks up the pin. Slater tags himself in and almost gets rolled up by Ryder. Rhyno pulls Slater out of the way of a Broski Boot, tags in, and Gores Ryder for the win.
• On the interview set, the Usos say that American Alpha was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and slam the fans for booing them.
• We close out the show with a face to face between Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles. Ambrose tells Charly Caruso from the ring and gives Styles a bowling trophy because it's the only trophy Styles will ever get from him. Styles says Ambrose has no idea who he's dealing with, so Ambrose shows the clip of Styles getting crotched last week to annoy him. Styles says he's gonna take the WWE Championship from him at Backlash like how he took the armband from John Cena. He says Cena took him seriously and still lost and that Ambrose is not Cena. Ambrose says when Styles fights Cena, it's different than when he fights Ambrose and that the one match they had before ended with Ambrose winning. Styles low blows Ambrose to close the show.

And that's about it. Overall, a pretty boring SmackDown. Nothing too exciting happened at all or even interesting. Say what you will about RAW last night, but at least something exciting happened.

RAW: 4.5

SmackDown: 2.5
