WWE SmackDown Results (August 9, 2024)

Cody Rhodes is on his way out to get SmackDown started.

Rhodes was going to mention who he'd like to put his title against next before Solo Sikoa and The Bloodline walked out.

Sikoa demanded a rematch for Rhodes' championship. Cody said Solo couldn't get the job done on his own, and said he's cosplaying as the "Tribal Chief."

Solo, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa were going to enter the ring, but Kevin Owens grabbed two chairs, one for Cody, and scared off The Bloodline.

Owens was exiting the ring, but Cody brought him back and said he wants to put his gold on the line against KO at Bash in Berlin.

Owens said he doesn't deserve a title match and he must earn that chance.

Rhodes said Owens is still the "Prizefighter" in his prime. He said he will talk to Nick Aldis to vouch for his title shot even if he doesn't want it.

Street Profits vs. A-Town Down Under - WWE Tag Team Championship Number One Contender Qualifying Match

Austin Theory sent Angelo Dawkins into the ring post. A-Town Down Under was distracted by B-Fab, allowing Montez Ford to dive onto both men.

Ford kicked Grayson Waller on the outside, and Dawkins tackled him right over the barricade.

In the ring, Street Profits hit their Blockbuster finisher on Theory for the win.

Winners: Street Profits

Rhodes, Owens, and Aldis were having a discussion about the Undisputed WWE Championship match for Bash in Berlin.

Aldis said he was looking to potentially discuss Roman Reigns getting a shot at Rhodes, which set Owens off.

Aldis ended up giving Owens the Undisputed WWE Championship match.

Tiffany Stratton was backstage with a planned for Nia Jax's championship celebration next week. Pretty Deadly said they were casting for their musical before Stratton walked away.

Chelsea Green and Piper Niven accused Tiffany of waiting for the right time to cash in on Nia Jax.

Jade Cargill (w/Bianca Belair) vs. Alba Fyre (w/Isla Dawn)

Fyre landed a tornado DDT on Jade. She then got in a submission hold and tried using Isla Dawn for leverage, but Belair put a stop to that.

Cargill hit Jaded for the win.

Winner: Jade Cargill

After the match, Blair Davenport attacked Jade, allowing Fyre and Dawn to jump the former tag team champions.

Naomi ran down to even the odds.

LA Knight made his way out with a new version of his theme song.

LA Knight said the game doesn't change despite being the United States Champion. He said he understands he's a marked man, but he feels he's been targeted ever since he joined the SmackDown brand.

Santos Escobar made his way out and insisted he was sincere in congratulating Knight for his title win.

With that said, Santos isn't buying LA Knight as a titleholder. He said Knight is only an opening act to his future reign.

Knight said no matter who it is that challenges him they won't be able to take the U.S. title from him.

Pretty Deadly went for a double team, but Gargano hit a Spear. DIY hit Shatter Machine followed by Meet in the Middle for the win.

Winner: DIY

Tama Tonga told Solo Sikoa that Roman Reigns still wasn't in the building. Sikoa told Tama not to worry because Roman will arrive.

The Bloodline made their way to the ring.

Sikoa said if Roman Reigns calls himself the Tribal Chief then he should try to take that distinction from him.

Reigns' music played and the fans in Tulsa exploded for the "Original Tribal Chief." Roman immediately attacked Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. He hit a Superman Punch on Solo, but Loa pulled him out of the ring.
