WWE SmackDown Results - Asuka In Handicap Match, MITB Contract Signing, Six-Man Main Event, More

Welcome to our WrestlingINC.com Live WWE SmackDown Viewing Party. Tonight's show comes from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.

- Tonight's WWE SmackDown opens live from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas. Tom Phillips welcomes us. He's joined by Corey Graves and Byron Saxton. They hype tonight's show – Rusev, The Miz and Samoa Joe vs. The New Day in six-man action, mixed tag team action with Jimmy Uso and Naomi vs. Lana and Aiden English, Becky Lynch vs. Charlotte Flair in a battle of best friends.

- We go right to the ring and SmackDown Women's Champion Carmella waits with a mic as her music plays. Carmella calls out and asks Corpus Christi what's up and then demands they stand to praise her for being champion.

Carmella says we're right, tonight isn't about her, it's about her Money In the Bank opponent – Asuka. Carmella says Asuka isn't who we think she is but before she exposes The Empress of Tomorrow, we get a video package looking at Asuka's dominant reign in WWE. Carmella says Asuka is amazing, or was. She mocks her and says it's time to remove the mask to face this horrible truth together. Carmella shows us another video package and says this is the real Asuka. This video shows Charlotte Flair ending the undefeated streak and a few more unfortunate events in Asuka's run. Carmella says that was painful to watch and the truth is she hasn't been the same since the streak ended at WrestleMania 34. Carmella says this is why she has no fear, because Mella Is Money and The Age of Asuka is over. Carmella says Asuka was undefeated but now she's just defeated. It used to be no one is ready for Asuka but now everyone is ready for her, even some of the pathetic fans in the crowd, including the one guy drooling all over the place. The music finally interrupts and out comes Asuka.

Asuka does her entrance but before anything can happen, the music hits and out comes Mandy Rose with Sonya Deville. Rose says Carmella didn't have to go through all that trouble of a presentation, she could've just asked her how Asuka is. Rose talks about how she was close to beating Asuka last week and now that she knows the truth, she knows she can beat Asuka... tonight. Deville says Rose did exactly what she was supposed to do – left just enough of Asuka for her. Sonya says her turn is tonight. Carmella says they are right but who's it going to be? Mandy or Sonya? She says the undefeated Asuka would've taken them both on but she's just defeated now. Carmella suggests Asuka call an Uber and get the hell out of here. The music interrupts again and out comes SmackDown General Manager Paige. Paige says once again, no one speaks for her because she's the one that makes the matches around here. Paige says Asuka has unfinished business with both of these ladies. Paige asks Asuka which opponent she wants, Rose or Deville? Asuka is all smiles. She snatches the mic from Carmella and says she wants both. Paige says that's the Asuka we all know and love. Paige announces Asuka vs. Rose and Deville in a Handicap Match, up next.

Joe says The New Day will find out those things are true tonight. Joe goes on and says people will see him as a man who made a promise and kept it – he promised he would put Daniel Bryan to sleep.

Cass shows us what happened last week after Samoa Joe put Bryan to sleep. Cass says he almost feels bad for Bryan but Bryan brought it on himself by asking to come back to WWE and asking to get back into the ring. Cass says little did Bryan know that he would have a 7 foot shadow following him everywhere he went. Cass says Bryan has never been in the ring with someone as big as him, as educated as him, with someone that's a star like him, with someone that holds a grudge like he does. Cass says that's why he will do everything he can do to dismantle Bryan at Money In the Bank, to beat him down and embarrass him. Fans boo Cass.

Cass says he will take Bryan's scrawny little arms, rip them off his body and beat him with them. Cass is going to snap Bryan's little legs so he can't walk and can't put the heel hook on him again. Cass goes on and says Bryan needs to go back to doing what he does best – playing a little garden gnome on Total Bellas. Cass says a battered Bryan will look in the mirror after MITB and come to the slow realization that a pathetic little man like him will never survive in this big man's world.

- Dasha Fuentes is backstage with Sin Cara, asking him if he was wrong to assume that he was still friends with Andrade "Cien" Almas after last week's segment with Almas and Zelina Vega.

She's not just some thing, she's the best thing that's happened to Almas. Vega says Almas accomplished nothing when he looked up to Cara. Almas told her Cara made him hide behind a mask and made him weak. Vega taught him he doesn't have to hide from anyone or be afraid, especially Cara. Cara doesn't believe her but she reveals that Almas went to Paige and got a match against Cara for next week. Almas suddenly attacks from behind and beats Cara down, destroying him. Almas and Vega leave as officials check on Cara.
