– Thanks to Tripp Givens and Brad The Great for the following WWE SmackDown spoilers from tonight’s tapings in Cincinnati, Ohio:

* Dolph Ziggler defeated The Miz in a good back and forth match.

* Backstage segment with AJ Styles and Kevin Owens to set up their match later on.

* We get a promo on the big screen with Dean Ambrose out in the city. He gets a big hometown pop.

* Michael Cole interviews Kalisto earlier in the day and he accepts Ryback’s challenge for WrestleMania 32.

* The “Face To Face To Face” starts off with Ric Flair and WWE Divas Champion Charlotte in the ring cutting a promo. Charlotte brings Becky Lynch out first and Becky guarantees she will take the title. Sasha Banks is out next and a fight breaks out after some back & forth. Sasha and Becky try to team up on Charlotte but she escapes.

* WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day come to the ring and cut promos on The League of Nations. They have accepted the challenge for WrestleMania 32 and it looks like everyone will be involved.

* AJ Styles vs. WWE Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens in a non-title match is next. Big pops for both and a great match. Styles did tease the Styles Clash at one point. Jericho came out towards the end and distracted Styles, allowing Owens to hit the pop-up powerbomb for the win. After the match, Jericho came in the ring and hit the Codebreaker on Styles. Jericho talked trash to Styles as SmackDown ended.
