WWE SmackDown Results – July 1, 2022
Your announcers are Michael Cole and Pat McAfee.
All of the men in the Money in the Bank Ladder match are in the ring with a lot of ladders in the ring. Omos is the only one who has not climbed a ladder of the six in the match.
Seth Rollins welcomes everyone to Smackdown. He says since they are standing on ladders, Money in the Bank is around the corner. Seth says he can speak for all of them . . .
Drew stops Seth and tells him he does not speak for him. Riddle says that Seth does not speak for him.
Seth says that whoever wins, the best place to cash it in is at SummerSlam when Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns beat the hell out of each other in a Last Man Standing Match. Seth cackles and says that he has done that before. That is like taking candy from a baby.
Riddle says he is rooting for Roman Reigns. When he cashes in he can finally beat that dirtbag.
Sami says that is not going to happen. Sami says that the Honorary Uce is in this match. It means he will grab the briefcase and the contract is staying in house with the Bloodline. As long as I have that contract, Roman Reigns’ contract will be safe from you vultures.
MVP says that Sami impresses him because his idiocy amazes him. He says there is a giant in the ring with them and in Vegas, they are saying that Omos is the odds on favorite. He does not care what happens between Brock and Roman because Omos will be the last man standing.
Sheamus says if Roman is the last man standing because he has cashed in already and has done it against Roman. Sheamus says if it is Brock, it will be a different ball game for him.
Drew says he beat Brock in five minutes. Drew says he will beat all of you when I win Money in the Bank.
Miz’ music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Miz reminds Drew that he cashed in on Drew. He is the only two time winner and he deserves to be in the match tomorrow night.
Ezekiel’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
He introduces himself for anyone who does not know him. He says he was supposed to have a qualifying match against Kevin Owens so if anyone deserves to be in the match, it should be him.
Baron Corbin comes out and he tells Zeke he is as dumb as his brother. Corbin says he has won the briefcase before and no one is as lucky as him in Las Vegas.
Riddick Moss comes out and he tells Corbin that he thought they were done with the jokes. To think of him squandering the contract again is hysterical. You won’t have the chance to do it again. I am here to take that last spot.
Adam Pearce comes out and he wants the ladders out of the ring since we are going to have a battle royal.
