WWE SmackDown Results 7/5 - Randy Orton, Kevin Owens & Cody Rhodes Appear, WWE Tag Team Title Match

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE SmackDown" on July 5, 2024, coming to you live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!

The go-home show for WWE Money In The Bank tomorrow night will feature an appearance from Randy Orton, Kevin Owens and Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, who have something on their minds to share ahead of their Six Man Tag Team Match against The Bloodline. Orton, Owens, and Rhodes found themselves in hot water last week when they were removed from the arena after attacking The Bloodline. Things didn't go as foreseen by The Bloodline either, as following such attack, they sent Paul Heyman crashing through the announce desk after he refused to acknowledge Solo Sikoa as the new "Tribal Chief".

Grayson Waller and Austin Theory will be putting the WWE Tag Team Championship on the line for the second time ever on television as they defend against #DIY. Tensions between the two teams have been on the rise over the course of the past several weeks, with Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa having made it clear that they're coming for A-Town Down Under's title.

Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair will be joining forces for the first time since losing the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship to Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn in a Triple Threat Match at WWE Clash At The Castle as they collide with Indi Hartwell and Candice LeRae. The four women came face-to-face last week during Cargill and LeRae's Triple Threat Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match Qualifier Match, as well as Cargill interfering in Hartwell's own Triple Threat Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match Qualifier Match later that night.

Additionally, Tiffany Stratton is advertised to be in town tonight per WWE's event page.

LA Knight's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Knight says he wants to talk to fans, and says he liked Jey asking fans if they want to see him win the Men's Money In The Bank briefcase. He says he can't help but think Jey is the favorite in the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match tonight, and says Jey was able to break away from The Bloodline. He tells Jey that he'll show him respect by showing him none at all, and says while Jey hopes to hear fans say 'yeet' tomorrow night, they'll be saying 'yeah'.

Carmelo Hayes' music hits, and he makes his way out. He says that while he hates to be that guy, he is that guy. He says no one wants to hear 'yeet' or 'yeah', then asks Knight how he's doing and tells Jey that they have lots in common.

Chad Gable's music hits, and he makes his way down. He says that unlike everyone else competing in the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match, he's been put through a living hell. He tells fans to have empathy for him with his Alpha Academy teammates leaving him and the Wyatt Sicks haunting him.

Andrade's music hits and he makes his way out. He says that while everyone is dreaming of winning Money In The Bank, dreams don't win matches.

Drew McIntyre's music hits and he makes his way out. He says that CM Punk may not be here after fans cheer for him, but his family always will be in the form of the bracelet he took to him. He says that the same violence he inflicted on Punk will happen to all his opponent in the Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match if they get in his way, then takes jabs at Andrade, Gable, Hayes, Knight, and Jey.

Andrade attacks McIntyre and fires off stomps that send him crashing out of the ring. Jey lands a superkick on Hayes, and everyone begins brawling with one another. Jey and Knight take turns landing right hands on McIntyre and clothesline him out of the ring.

Rhodes asks Toronto what they want to talk about, then says they could talk about WWE's shows in Toronto between Thursday and Sunday. He says that himself, Orton, and Owens are ready for a fight against The Bloodline, and Orton says that fight will end in an RKO. Owens says he could talk about the last four years fighting The Bloodline, but says he'd rather talk about the last four days of his life. He recalls getting a phone call from his father on Monday morning informing him he had to go home to Quebec as his mother had been rushing to the hospital.

Owens says that he's been in Quebec at the hospital his mother has been at since getting the call, and says while shows in Toronto are always special for him, his mother and father won't be able to come watch him at Money In The Bank. He says he could've easily stayed in Quebec, but that would've been a problem for his mother because her and his father have supported him throughout his wrestling career. He says that his mother would be very upset if he missed a show for her, and says win, lose, or draw tomorrow, all he cares about tomorrow is to beat down The Bloodline worse than ever before.
