WWE fans have witnessed some of the best wrestling action and entertainment in the last two days. We saw one of the best Monday Night Raw episode yesterday (July 22, 2019), where special Reunion episode took place. The blue brand of WWE also did not disappoint fans as it was filled with some extravagant action. The best part was when Kofi Kingston asked Randy Orton to face him for WWE SmackDown Champion at WWE SummerSlam 2019 which 'The Viper' accepted. Let us find out what all happened in the past episode of SmackDown, July 23, 2019, where we will help you with highlights, results and match reports.

Kofi Kingston also battled with Samoa Joe, where they created their Extreme Rules rematch situation. Randy Orton sneaked into this battle where he tried to hit the WWE SmackDown champion with RKO. The Apex Predator, however, gave the Samoan submission machine RKO. It was then followed by Kofi Kingston giving 'Trouble in Paradise' to 'The Viper'. Apart from this action, we also saw Shawn Michael get attacked by Dolph Ziggler on 'The Miz' TV.
Shane McMahon did not show interest to Kevin Owens challenge for a match at SummerSlam. Instead, he put Owens in the match against Roman Reigns at the main event. This plan of 'The Best in the World' backfired as Owens and Reign joined hands and beat the trio of Elias, Drew McIntyre and Shane. The show ended with Shane McMahon getting superman punch as well as a stunner from Kevin Owen.

WWE storylines are indeed shaping up well for the upcoming SummerSlam PPV scheduled to take place on August 11, 2019, at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We almost have all championship match put into place for the upcoming major event. Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins will face against each other for Universal Championship, while Kofi will defend his WWE SmackDown title against Randy Orton. It will be interesting to see how Shane McMahon respond in the coming week to Kevin Owens and Roman Reign action.
