Here's what you can expect on Thursday.
WWE taped this week's edition of SmackDown in London on Tuesday evening. Here is what took place at the tapings and what you can expect on the show.
The broadcast opened up with a MizTV segment featuring AJ Styles. Miz and Maryse grilled AJ about Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson attacking Roman Reigns on Monday during RAW. AJ continued to claim that he didn't know anything about the attack, but Miz and Maryse insinuated that Styles needs their help to defeat Reigns at Payback. Styles eventually attacked Miz to end the segment.
Ryback defeated U.S. Champion Kalisto via pinfall following the Shellshock. This was a non-title match.
Dolph Ziggler made his entrance for a match but was laid out by Baron Corbin. Ziggler received the End Of Days from Corbin during the interaction.
