Thanks to Tyler Shafer, teejmeister (@tjshaw75) and Danesha Thomas (@missdanesha29) for the following WWE SmackDown spoilers from tonight’s tapings in Toledo, Ohio:
* WWE Champion Dean Ambrose kicks off SmackDown as the special guest ring announcer for Jey Uso vs. Seth Rollins

* Zack Ryder defeated Sheamus with the diving elbow drop
* Tom Phillips interviews Ryder on the ramp and he says he has his momentum back, then challenges Rusev for the WWE United States Title
* Rusev is interviewed backstage by JoJo but he dismisses Ryder as a legit challenger. Apparently he will defend on Monday’s RAW. Rusev with another anti-American speech

Enzo roasts them after they call Cass a “butt nugget”

* Styles challenges Enzo and Cass to find a partner for a six-man later tonight, which may be the dark main event
* Chris Jericho is backstage looking for his blue scarf. Kevin Owens is wearing it and they have words. This was said to be a funny segment but kind of weird seeing Owens showing a humorous side on TV

The action went outside of the ring and Owens threw a drink at Sami, then Sami threw Jericho at Owens. Sami fought off a distraction from Owens and got the pin on Jericho with a roll-up. After the match, Jericho interrupted Sami’s celebration with a Codebreaker. Owens then destroyed Sami and hit a pop-up powerbomb to end the show
