WWE Smackdown LIVE took place from The Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia. Here’s all the action that went down.

Chris Jericho returned to SmackDown LIVE

Smackdown July 25 (3)

The Ayatollah of rock ‘n rolla, is back! Deciding to crash AJ Styles’ challenge to a rematch against Kevin Owens for the United States Championship, Chris Jericho hit the ring and decided that he too was due a rematch against the Prizefighter. After being out of action for several months thanks to Owens and losing the title to him back on RAW, Jericho was more than ready to cash in on his rematch clause.

Smackdown commissioner Shane McMahon agreed, setting a new main event for the night: A triple-threat bout for the title, which left Owens fuming.

Shinsuke Nakamura def. Baron Corbin

Shinsuke Nakamura may have won his match at Battleground thanks to Baron Corbin going for a low blow, but the Lone Wolf won the war afterwards when he put king of strong style through the ringer. Hungry for a rematch, Nakamura battled tooth and nail to defeat the holder of the money in the bank briefcase, eventually nailing the Kinshasa to secure victory.

Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch def. Lana and Tamina

The ladies of the Smackdown locker room were up next, as the team of Tamina and Lana found themselves outmatched by Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch.

John Cena will battle Shinsuke Nakamura next week to see who will challenge WWE Champion Jinder Mahal at SummerSlam

Smackdown July 25 (7)

With Randy Orton taken out of the WWE championship picture after a hellacious Punjabi Prison match, who will face Jinder Mahal for the gold at Summerslam? Maybe…John Cena. The former champ hit the ring to challenge Mahal, showing the latest title-holder respect for his passion and dedication to reinventing himself over the last couple of months.

Smackdown General Manager Daniel Bryan seemed to agree with Cena, as he appeared to ponder the idea. But if Cena wanted a title shot, he’d have to earn it: With a number one contender’s match next week on Smackdown against none other than Shinsuke Nakamura.

Smackdown July 25 (10)

One championship, three men…and a new United States champion. AJ Styles, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens put on one hell of a show, shaking the ring and shifting momentum constantly in pursuit of the main event prize. Near the end, it looked like Owens would retain his title when he caught Jericho with a pop-up powerbomb and a frog splash, but Styles managed to chuck Owens out of the ring and steal the pin, becoming United States champion once again.

Smackdown July 25 (1)

Absolutely livid, Owens demanded a rematch in singles competition against Styles. Which is exactly what will happen next week on Smackdown. As for Jericho? He’s prbably dedicating an entire page of the List of Jericho to the Phenomenal One.
