This will be a couple of interesting shows. (110 outside at the time of the show)

Cody is on his way to the ring; his opponent for King of the Ring, Randy Orton, is on his way to join Cody. Randy and Cody are giving props to the audience for singing their respective theme songs. Just as Randy was starting his chat with Cody, the power in the city went out.
36 days from the first 2 night Summer Slam
The Show is finally back, and the first match, after the power outage, is JC Mateo facing Jimmy Uso. Solo told Mato to remind Jimmy that he needs to return to the family. This will not be pretty. Thanks to a minor distraction by Solo, which worked, giving Mateo the win. Jacob is there, so Jimmy is not alone. Jimmy slapped Solo, telling him No way. Well, I told you, here comes Jacob. Jimmy shoved Fatu out of the way, super kicking Solo out of the ring.
The United States Women’s Title is on the line, with current title holder Zelina Vega defending it against Giulia. This has been a fairly even match. Guilia has a height difference, but Zelina is just as strong as her. It would be Giulia in the end who would win the title from Zelina.
Wade in the ring to chat with Jade Cargill and Asuka ahead of their match tomorrow. Well, that just got ruined by Naomi. I have to give credit that Naomi is playing a good Heel. (I have a feeling it will be Asuka, so they can book Iyo Sky to face Asuka at Summer Slam)
Aleister Black was chatting with Nick and Adam. R Truth interrupted, screaming that he wanted John Cena. Truth left, but Black walked out after Truth.
#DIY is facing off against the dynamic duo of Andrade and Rey Phoenix in an exhilarating tag match that promises high-octane action. The energy in the arena is electric, especially when Andrade and Rey take control, showcasing their impressive agility and technical prowess. Throughout the match, the back-and-forth exchanges create a gripping atmosphere. Just when it seems one team is on the verge of victory, the other pulls off a stunning counter or a last-minute kick-out, keeping the suspense alive and the audience on the edge of their seats. As the match progresses, the intensity escalates, making every move more impactful. WOW! What an incredible showdown, with Rey and Andrade ultimately claiming the win after a hard-fought battle. In my opinion, they should definitely stay together as a tag team; their chemistry in the ring is simply outstanding.
The Street Profits are defending the Tag Team belts against the Wyatt Sick. The rest of the tag teams that travelled are at the ringside. This match has fallen apart.
Nia Jax is heading to the ring to face Tiffany Stratton in a Last Woman Standing match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. The rules are simple: incapacitate your opponent so that they cannot respond to the 10-count to secure the victory. Naomi races to the ring, but she never did cash in officially. Tiff, using the MITB case to knock off Nia, sending her through 2 tables. Tiff with the win.
SmackDown returns to a 2-hour show next week.
