WWE Smackdown Live Results:

— The show opened with a recap of AJ Styles winning the United States Championship from Kevin Owens at Madison Square Garden on Friday. Styles came to the ring and said the title has gotten an upgrade, and he is reinstating the United States Open Challenge. He challenged any Superstar in the back, and John Cena answered the challenge.

The match was about to begin when Kevin Owens came out to interrupt. Cena said if Owens thought about getting in the ring, he would run through him, and then he would run through Styles. Just then, Rusev appeared and tackled Cena, while Owens hit Styles with a pop-up powerbomb. Rusev locked Cena in the Accolade, and the two men posed over their opponents.

1. Jinder Mahal defeated Tye Dillinger. This was a non-title match. Mahal hit Dillinger with the Khallas and got the pin. After the match, Mahal said he would bring hell to Randy Orton next week, because he’s bringing the Punjabi Prison to Smackdown Live.

2. Xavier Woods defeated Jey Uso. Woods picked up the pinfall after hitting a springboard elbow on Uso, who was draped on the second rope.

— A scheduled match between Baron Corbin and Shinsuke Nakamura never took place. Nakamura jumped Corbin and the two men brawled into the crowd until they were separated by officials. Afterward, Nakamura challenged Corbin to get in the ring, but Corbin opted to leave.

3. Natalya and Tamina Snuka defeated Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. Lana came to ringside and distracted Charlotte, allowing Natalya to make the tag and play possum. When Charlotte went for the Figure Eight, Tamina superkicked and pinned her.

4. John Cena and AJ Styles defeated Kevin Owens and Rusev. Styles hit a Pele kick on Owens, and then Cena delivered the Attitude Adjustment and pinned Owens.

— After the match, Cena and Styles had a staredown before Cena raised Styles’ hand, then the two posed for the crowd.
