We break down the best and worst moments of tonight's WWE SmackDown (6/31/2024)
Tonight's WWE SmackDown featured more fallout from King & Queen of the Ring and highlighted the new Queen of SmackDown Nia Jax , but much of the attention was focused on AJ Styles. After his loss to Cody Rhodes at Backlash, Styles has been trying to get another shot at the Title, and it seemed that after failing to secure that shot, Styles was stepping away from the ring.
AJ Styles Fakes Out Everyone: A superstar teasing retirement only to reveal that isn't happening isn't new, so it's up to the superstar and the production to convey that it's an actual possibility and get past the viewer's innate disbelief.
Apollo's Loss: It's a shame that Andrade's win came at the expense of Apollo Crews and his big return to SmackDown. Crews is someone who needs to be built back up, and a loss, even a distraction one, doesn't do him any favors. He's got a match next week against Angel, and perhaps Andrade will interfere to score Crews the win, but even then it's not like Crews is getting much shine from that, as the story is about Angel and Andrade.
Bayley was more than happy to meet Jax in the ring, but she didn't make it there, as Chelsea Green and Piper Niven ambushed her and threw her into the barricade. Niven threw her into the opposite wall and then threw her into the ring, and while she fought back, she couldn't overcome the numbers game. That said, Jax wasn't very happy to see them, and Green had some words to share with the Queen.
