wwe talking smack

Renee Young and Daniel Bryan are again the hosts for WWE Talking Smack. They start by wishing everyone a happy Independence Day before jumping into the events on Smackdown Live. The general manager was tired of James Ellsworth interfering with the Women’s Division. He decided to let Carmella keep her Money in the Bank briefcase. However, he felt he had to discipline Ellsworth.

First Guest: Naomi

They start by admiring the glowing championship the Naomi is carrying. The Women’s Champion believes Ellsworth’s punishment is appropriate. She is glad that she can always count on Bryan to do his job.

Young then reads the tweets that Lana sent out which helped her get the rematch on Smackdown. Naomi reveals she was more upset with herself because she gave Lana the room to talk. She believes Lana knows who the real champ is. She just had to show it.

In regards to the other women in the division, she knows she has to keep her guard up. She just got her championship to glow and she is not ready to give it up now. It glows so it feels more like it is her belt. She also feels like she is more in charge of her division. Naomi knows there are some women in the locker room who feel like they are better than her but she knows that is not true.

If she had a choice for who she wants to fight at Battleground, it would be Charlotte. The last match she had against Charlotte was interrupted by the Welcoming Committee. She believes Charlotte is one of the best. So to be the best, you have to beat the best. But she knows Carmella is waiting for her. She does not know what was going on with Tamina tonight. Tamina does not show a lot on her face. So the champ is confused by her actions.

After Naomi leaves, Bryan says he would love to see Charlotte versus Naomi at a pay-per-view. He also says he was a little demoralized because the Usos heard his rap lyrics and they decided they did not want him in the rap battle. He even dropped his raps for the WWE Universe. Even though the Usos did not let him be involved, he still loved the rap battle. He cannot wait to see their tag team match at Battleground.

Second Group: Maria and Mike Kanellis

The GM tells Maria that the power of their love cut the cameras off in the building. She tells him that it was not their love that did that. Instead, it was some poor soul and she feels sorry for him. Mike adds that it is embarrassing for that to happen.

After a look at the moment the couple debuted, Young asks them what exactly the power of love is. Maria tells her that she is looking at it. The power of love is within them. They want to show everyone that they have found love. Bryan asks Mike why he took her last name. Mike tells him that Maria is a powerful women who brought him love. The least he could do is take her last name.

Maria tells Young that the reason they are back is to prove that love conquers all. Mike believes the locker room is evil and needs the love.

The return of John Cena is the next topic. He will have a match against Rusev at Battleground. Before they could finish discussing the match, AJ Styles interrupts.

Third Guest: AJ Styles

Styles believes wrestling Chad Gable was harder than being in the battle royal. Gable threw him around the ring in the beginning of the match. He started to doubt himself when Gable kept tossing him. It made him exhausted for the battle royal.

Styles admits it was a struggle wrestling twice in the night. In the battle royal, his muscles were tight. But he was able to win because there were many people to focus on.

Styles feels like the only thing Kevin Owens is better than at is eating. Bryan jokes about having an eating segment on next week’s Smackdown. Styles knows he will lose, and tells the WWE Universe that he is not going to because he knows it will not end well for him.

Before WWE Talking Smack ends, Bryan tells the WWE Universe to get #WeinerChallenge trending so the eating contest could happen.
