WWE Smackdown tapings from Portland, OR: AJ Styles vs. Chris Jericho II

There was a skeleton crew because much of the crew left after Raw for shows this week in Germany which start tomorrow with a show in Bremen.

Chris Jericho opened the show doing a semi-heel promo on A.J. Styles.  He said Styles can’t match his career in WWE.  Styles confronted him.  The Social Outcasts came out and this led to a tag team match.

Jericho & Styles beat Adam Rose & Curtis Axel.  Styles got the pin but Jericho attacked him after the match.

The Dudleys cut a promo saying they were sick of Daniel Bryan and were not a nostalgia act but were here to add to their legacy.  They also said they are refusing to use anymore tables.

Goldust was choking on food and R-Truth saved him.  Goldust again wanted to be his partner and again got turned down.

Sasha Banks beat Naomi with the Bank statement.  Tamina attacked Becky Lynch, who was on commentary.

The Wyatt Family did a promo, saying they were going to rid the WWE of Titans and Gods, specifically mentioning Kane, Big Show & Ryback.

Sin Cara & Kalisto & Neville beat The Ascension & Stardust.

Chris Jericho beat A.J. Styles clean with the codebreaker  Fans chanted for both men.  Better match than the last time.  Really quite good.

The Wyatt Family attacked Jericho after, although this was probably off the air.  Styles, Neville and the Lucha Dragons all made the save.
