Bianca belair and Sasha banks They have already signed a contract for their fight for him Women’s Championship. What will they have to say to each other before their title duel?
And it also remains to be seen the last thing he has prepared for you Seth rollins to Edge. His heads up at the PPV is one of the most anticipated encounters.
WWE SmackDown August 20, 2021
Edge opened the program and, after a brief review of how this rivalry was conducted, he referred to the words and threats of Seth Rollins and is aware that a stomp from him could end his career. Still, he says he is tempted to go into a dark place, one from which he cannot escape because he enjoys it. That’s why at SummerSlam, he’ll tear it apart and burn it down.
Edge talking nakedooooooo !!!!!#Smackdown

Backstage, Rey and Dominik had a father-son talk and the masked man asked his son to cover his back and learn.

1. Rey Mysterio vs. Jimmy Uso
As a hint of what will be tomorrow at SummerSlam, Rey and Jimmy face off, with Dominik and Jey in their corners, to watch the backs of their respective teammates. The fight began with a struggle until Rey began to take control with agile movements and with an evocation of the great Eddie Guerrero, although he was knocked down by Jimmy, who regained control of the combat; Rey with his aerial maneuvers tried to put things in his favor and the two-second counts were given both sides. Rey had practically the victory and Dominik wanted to help him, but the referee found out and sent him off. As father and son discussed the event, the Uso attacked them.
The end
- They both fought a good fight.
- Division between father and son?
- Almost infinite chain of battles with combinations of these two teams
Dominik tried to help Rey Mysterio, but it only ended up costing him the fight. Tomorrow they meet again with The Usos to compete for the Tag Team Titles. #SmackDown

2. Kevin Owens vs. Baron corbin
Not only on Raw, we also saw rematches on SmackDown. This fight was not about money, but Corbin came with the Money in the Bank briefcase and Owens wanted to end it once and for all. Thus, Corbin started with his classic offense, but KO recovered and took control, although Corbin resisted and counterattacked. Eventually Big E showed up and they both went for the briefcase.
The end
- Corbin looked better than a week ago
- The story of Corbin and the briefcase is interesting, but let’s hope it has a better outcome than last year.
Why so much decay of the character #Smackdown pic.twitter.com/f3yBMvv9Hs

After the bell ringing, Big E appeared to have recovered the briefcase, but was attacked from behind by Corbin and Corbin took the briefcase.
Backstage, Bianca Belair was interviewed and declined to hear from Sasha Banks, saying she hopes she is watching what he will do to Carmella and Zelina Vega. And no, it was not a mistake, Bianca will fight twice tonight and said she will show why she is the EST of WWE.
Luckily the fight between Bianca and Sasha goes on 🙏#Smackdown

3. Shotzi and Tegan Nox vs. Tamina and Natalya
And after Natalya’s recovery – which was good news – we finally saw some interest in the women’s tag team. Although the fight was not for the titles, the champion couple started with everything. Natalya did not even appear to have been injured. The former NXT managed to resist Natalya’s attack and put Tamina out of circulation.
The end
- Shotzi and Tegan achieved victory and position themselves as future challengers to the championship.
- It’s good to see Natalya recovered
- WWE and their custom of the ‘contenders match’, despite the fact that Shotzi and Tegan had two victories prior to this match.
Shotzi & Nox will be the first challengers to the Women’s Championships against Tamina & Natalya #SDCL #Smackdown

Seth Rollins made his appearance in the ring, wearing a gleaming white suit. He took the mic and told the audience that they already had Edge and now they have him. Then, he told Edge that in his speech he already came up with all the excuses for which he will lose tomorrow. Then, he told him that he shouldn’t be ashamed to lose.
The lights turned red and a flare was seen, along with the music to The Brood. Edge came out on the giant screen and told Rollins that monsters come out and night and warns him that he will never see it coming. Following his intervention, a bloodbath fell on Rollins. Edge has turned to the dark side.
NOOOO THE BATH OF BLOOD. GIVE ME ESE EDGE DE THE BROOD 🔥🔥🔥#Smackdown

4. Montez Ford vs. Otis
And the rivalry between the Street Profits and Alpha Academy continued. Ford wore some flashy pants for his fight and was looking to face Otis, who looked unbending, although that did not seem to matter to the skilled fighter. Gable and Dawkins wanted to intervene but were unsuccessful and, after Ford came close to winning with a Frog Splash, Otis regained control and left Ford seeded in the ring.
The end
- Otis looked like he had to look.
- Interventions were kept to a minimum
I never thought to say it but Otis looks powerful haha #Smackdown

5. King Nakamura and Rick Boogs vs. Apollo Crews and Commander Azeez
As expected, the rivalry between Nakamura and Apollo was to continue and this marked Boogs’ debut in a SmackDown ring, where he began to show interesting things, before being dominated by the former Intercontinental Champion. Azeez and Nakamura also saw action and the former managed to resist a variant of the Kinsasha, although it was eventually taken out of circulation by Nakamura himself.
The end
- Rick Boogs scored a debut win
- Nakamura will benefit from his alliance with Boogs, who is loved by the public.
- Apollo continues on a losing streak
- The fight could be better, it seemed rushed
