WWE SmackDown Live Results (9/10): New York, NY

The September 10th, 2019 edition of WWE SmackDown Live took place at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY.

 


 

– The Undertaker comes out to the ring to kick off tonight’s broadcast, and he gets a big ovation from the New York City crowd. Taker gets in the ring, and he’s got a mic. He says he wanted to a take a moment to absorb all this, because he has considered these grounds his home for the last 30 years. Taker says he doesn’t know how many times he’ll be able to come home anymore. But one thing Taker wants everyone to remember about this place are the Titans that were born here, the legends who made their name here, and the heroes who were created here. Taker says he took a little piece of all their souls with him. Taker says the echoes of their memories will go through these hallways for all of eternity. Sami Zayn comes out to interrupt. Sami comes down the ramp with a mic, and says he knows New York City respects legends, and that Undertaker is a legend. Sami says he has all of the respect for Taker, but even he can admit, it probably shouldn’t have been Taker opening up SmackDown Live tonight. Sami says “when is it enough” with Undertaker, and the future is here, and the future is Sami Zayn. Sami says he is going to respectfully ask Undertaker to turn around and leave the ring right now, to pass the torch. Taker starts to walk out of the ring, but then turns around. He grabs Sami by the throat and gives him the Chokeslam. Taker’s music hits and he heads to the back while Sami is down in the ring.

– Shane McMahon calls Chad Gable into his office. Shane tells Gable what a great job he’s doing, and says Gable is on fire lately. Shane says Elias is interrupted and can’t compete in his King Of The Ring match against Gable. Gable says this must mean he is going to the finals, but Shane says that’s not the case. Shane says he doesn’t think Gable is the kind of guy who wants a free pass, so Elias is going to have a replacement tonight. Shane says the replacement could be anyone, even somebody already eliminated from the tournament. Gable says that’s fine with him, and he goes to get ready.

The Miz vs. Andrade: Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura is on commentary, and Zelina is at ringside in Andrade’s corner. The Miz starts taking control of this one until Zelina gets involved from the apron, which leads to Andrade connecting with a kick on Miz. Andrade beats down Miz in the corner and then hits the running knee strike on him in the corner. Andrade controls the next several moments of the match until The Miz rallies back with some right hands and knee strikes. Miz follows up with a neckbreaker for a two count. It’s time for the Miz Kicks on Andrade now. Andrade ducks one and tries to roll up Miz, but Miz fights him off with a boot to the face. More kicks from Miz in the corner, followed by some chops. The Miz hits two running knee strikes in the corner. Andrade tries to fire back with a running knee strike of his own, but he misses and falls out to ringside. Miz rolls out and slams Andrade into the announce table. The Miz has a brief stare-down with Nakamura, and then he throws Andrade into Nakamura and they both go down. Back in the ring, Zelina grabs Miz’s leg from the floor, which leads to Andrade hitting a spinning back elbow — which ended up being kind of botched. Andrade pins for a two count. The Miz fights back and hits the Skull Crushing Finale for the three count.

Bayley says she’ll see Ember in the ring.

– Shane McMahon is shown backstage giving instructions to a production assistant. Kevin Owens walks in, at Shane’s request. Shane brings up Owens asking him to waive his $100,000 fine, and Shane says he might be willing to waive it. Kevin asks what the catch is.

Shane tells Owens he’s the ref for his match tonight, and if he does his job correctly tonight, that $100,000 fine will be gone. Shane tells him to think about it. Owens doesn’t look happy, and he walks off.

– The broadcast team introduces a video package looking at the mystery attacks on Roman Reigns, and the revelation that Rowan was the attacker.

– Eric Rowan comes out to the ring and gets on the mic. Rowan says people don’t know him or get him. People think that someone else controls him or tells him what to do — until last week. Rowan says everyone thinks he’s just a big brute, but he’s really a mastermind and a manipulator. Roman Reigns comes out to interrupt. Reigns hits the ring and hits a Superman punch on Rowan. Rowan staggers out to ringside, and Reigns looks for another Superman punch, but Rowan stops him with a big boot. Rowan throws Reigns into the barricade, and they brawl out into the crowd now. Rowan dumps Reigns back into ringside, and then when Rowan tries to climb over the barricade, Reigns gives him a superman punch.

Rowan runs around the security and tackles them and Reigns at ringside. Reigns and Rowan brawl up the ramp and on to the stage now. Rowan slams Reigns’ head into the ramp a few times, and then seems to back off. Reigns gets to his feet and hits a Superman punch on Rowan on the stage. They fight near the King Of The Ring throne on the stage, and security pulls them apart again. Rowan grabs a camera crane and uses it like a battering ram to take down Reigns and some security guards. Rowan finally leaves, and yells that there’s more of this for Reigns on Sunday.

Kofi gets on the mic and says this arena will always have a special place in his heart, because his career changed forever here, and he whooped Randy Orton’s ass all over this building. Kofi talks about how great it was to put Orton through the table in this building ten years ago, and then he rolls the footage on the big screen. He says the entire arena was chanting Kofi’s name, and he knew he would be back in MSG one day as WWE Champion. Orton interrupts Kofi from off-screen, saying “stupid” over and over again into a microphone. The camera cuts to Orton standing out in the crowd. He says he’s not impressed by Kofi putting him through a table ten years ago, because Orton has had the WWE Title multiple times. Orton says Kofi is pretending to be something he’s not, and he has been since day one. Kofi drops the mic and takes off his jacket and Title belt, then he heads out to the crowd to go after Orton. Kofi charges at Orton, but Orton’s got a steel chair in his hands and he starts nailing Kofi with it. Orton looks for a DDT, but Kofi fights him off and then nails Orton with the steel chair. Kofi positions a table (which has a black sheet over it), and he goes to put Orton on it, but Orton fights him off. Kofi is sitting on the table now and Orton charges at him, but Kofi fights him off. The table seems to collapse under Kofi’s weight. Kofi pulls out another table with a black sheet on it, and lays Orton on it. Kofi hits Oton with the chair to keep him down. Kofi climbs some stairs and hops up on to the hand railing. Kofi leaps from about 15 feet up and hits the Boom Drop on Orton through the table. Kofi runs up the stairs again to celebrate.

– Kevin Owens comes out to the ring to referee tonight’s main event, up next.

Shane McMahon vs. Chad Gable: The winner of this match goes to the final match of the King Of The Ring tournament.
