WWE Smackdown Saturday Supershow
08/24/24
[The WWE signature intro video plays, and the show opens with an explosive pyrotechnic display. The crowd is roaring as the camera pans across the arena, showing fans holding signs and chanting for their favorite superstars. The commentary team, Pat McAfee, Jerry “The King” Lawler, and Booker T, welcome everyone to the show.]
Pat McAfee: “Welcome, everyone, to another electrifying night of WWE Smackdown! We have an action-packed show for you tonight, with huge announcements about Bash in Berlin!”
Jerry Lawler: “That’s right, Pat! The GM’s are here, and they’ve got some blockbuster matches to announce!”
Booker T: “It’s gonna be off the chain, baby! But that’s not all—tonight, we’ve got some serious drama brewing backstage, and I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!”
Backstage Segment: Flex Fuller Confronts DDP
[Flex Fuller is pacing back and forth in a dimly lit hallway, muttering to himself. He’s wearing his signature Johnson and Johnson baby oil, looking a bit on edge. Suddenly, he spots DDP walking down the hall with Doc Brown, who’s wearing a lab coat and looking as eccentric as ever.]
Flex Fuller: “Hey, DDP! What do you think you’re doing with Doc Brown, huh?”
DDP: “Whoa, whoa, Flex! What’s with the hostility, man? I’m just showing Doc Brown some of my old DDP Yoga moves.”
Flex Fuller: “Yeah, right! You think I don’t know what’s going on here? You’re trying to steal him from me!”
Doc Brown: “Great Scott, Flex! No one’s stealing anyone! I’m simply conducting research into the effects of flexibility on the space-time continuum!”
Flex Fuller: “Flexibility? Space-time continuum? What are you even talking about? He’s MY corner guy, and you’re not going to turn him into some yoga-twisting time traveler!”
DDP: “Relax, Flex! There’s enough DDP to go around for everyone. Besides, Doc Brown here could use some yoga to help him with all that time traveling. Loosen up those joints, you know?”
Doc Brown: “Indeed! The key to a successful trip to the past or future is a good stretch before you go!”
Flex Fuller: “This isn’t over, DDP! Doc Brown, you’re sticking with me, got it?”
Doc Brown: “As long as I don’t get stuck in 1955 again, you’ve got a deal!”
[DDP chuckles and walks off with a wink, while Flex Fuller glares after him, clearly still not convinced. Doc Brown just shrugs and adjusts his lab coat, ready for whatever comes next.]
Backstage Segment: Pete the Ref’s DNA Dilemma
[Cut to Pete the Ref sneaking around the CEO’s office door, peeking inside to see if anyone’s there. He’s holding a small plastic bag and a pair of tweezers, looking determined but nervous.]
Pete the Ref: “Alright, Pete, you’ve got this. All I need is one hair from CEO Murrey… just one tiny hair for that DNA test…”
[He quietly slips into the office, but as he gets closer to the CEO’s chair, he freezes. The chair swivels around, revealing CEO Murrey… who is completely bald.]
CEO Murrey: “Pete, what are you doing in my office?”
Pete the Ref: “Uh, um, I was just… uh… dusting! Yeah, just dusting the place.”
CEO Murrey: “With tweezers?”
Pete the Ref: “Well, you know, gotta get those hard-to-reach spots… and… uh… you’ve got such a clean office!”
[Murrey narrows his eyes suspiciously, and Pete nervously shifts his weight from foot to foot.]
Pete the Ref: “You wouldn’t happen to have… you know… any old combs lying around, would you? Maybe with some… stray hairs?”
CEO Murrey: “Pete, I’m bald. What exactly are you trying to do?”
Pete the Ref: “I, uh… was hoping to find a hair for a… um…”
CEO Murrey: “Pete, get out of my office.”
[Pete nods furiously and scurries out, mumbling to himself as he goes.]
Pete the Ref: “How am I supposed to get a hair for a DNA test when he’s bald? This is impossible!”
[The camera follows Pete as he exits the office, looking dejected and defeated.]
In-Ring Segment: The GMs Announce the Matches for Bash in Berlin
[The crowd erupts as the music of Smackdown GM William Regal hits. He walks to the ring with authority, followed by Raw GM Eric Bischoff and NXT GM Shawn Michaels. The three GMs enter the ring and take turns addressing the WWE Universe.]
William Regal: “Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to announce that WWE’s upcoming pay-per-view, Bash in Berlin, is going to be a night you will never forget!”
Eric Bischoff: “That’s right, Regal! We’ve got some of the biggest matches in WWE history lined up for you, and we’re going to make sure Berlin feels the impact!”
Shawn Michaels: “Let’s get right to it, shall we? First up, the World Championship will be on the line as AJ Styles defends his title against none other than Finn Bálor!”
[The crowd pops huge for the announcement, with chants of “AJ Styles!” and “Finn Bálor!” filling the arena.]
William Regal: “And that’s just the beginning! The WWE Championship will be defended by none other than The Rock, who will face the challenge of Main Event Jey Uso!”
[The crowd roars even louder at the mention of The Rock and Jey Uso.]
Eric Bischoff: “But we’re not stopping there! Lexis King will defend his NXT Championship against the sinister Karrion Kross!”
Shawn Michaels: “And let’s not forget the Intercontinental Championship! Drew McIntyre will be putting his title on the line against Tommaso Ciampa!”
[The crowd is buzzing with excitement, but the GMs aren’t finished yet.]
William Regal: “And finally, in what promises to be a truly unique match, Shinsuke Nakamura will defend the United States Championship in a triple threat match against Flex Fuller and DDP!”
Eric Bischoff: “The winner of that match will not only walk away with the United States Championship but will also retain the services of Doc Brown!”
Shawn Michaels: “Bash in Berlin is shaping up to be a night of epic battles and unforgettable moments. Don’t miss it!”
[The GMs exit the ring as the crowd continues to chant, eagerly anticipating the upcoming pay-per-view. The camera cuts to the commentary team, who are just as excited as the fans.]
Pat McAfee: “Wow! What a lineup! Bash in Berlin is going to be insane!”
Jerry Lawler: “I can’t wait to see The Rock vs. Jey Uso, and that triple threat match for the United States Championship is going to be wild!”
Booker T: “You know it, King! This is going to be a night that changes everything!”
Jey Uso vs. Solo Sikoa
[The scene is set for the highly anticipated match between brothers, Jey Uso and Solo Sikoa. The commentary team, Pat McAfee, Jerry “The King” Lawler, and Booker T, hype up the match as the competitors make their entrances.]
[Solo Sikoa’s music hits first, and the Samoan powerhouse makes his way to the ring, looking focused and determined. He gets a mixed reaction from the crowd, some fans cheering for his intensity, while others boo in support of his older brother.]
Pat McAfee: “Here comes Solo Sikoa, and you can just feel the intensity radiating off this man! He’s got something to prove tonight.”
Jerry Lawler: “No doubt about it, Pat! Solo is a force to be reckoned with, and he’s not going to back down, even if it’s his own brother across the ring.”
Booker T: “This is family, man. It doesn’t get more personal than this! But you know what they say—sometimes, family fights are the most brutal!”
[The crowd erupts as Jey Uso’s music hits. Jey comes out with fire in his eyes, slapping hands with fans on his way down the ramp. He’s got his sights set on Solo, and it’s clear that tonight, he’s ready to prove why he’s called “Main Event Jey Uso.”]
Pat McAfee: “And here he is! Jey Uso, the man who has been in the main event picture and gunning for The Rock, looking to settle the score with his own blood!”
Jerry Lawler: “Jey has been on a roll, but this match is going to test him in ways we’ve never seen before!”
Booker T: “Both of these men are warriors, Pat. This is going to be a straight-up fight!”
The Match
[The bell rings, and the match begins with both men staring each other down in the center of the ring. The tension is thick as they exchange words, neither one willing to back down. They finally lock up in a collar-and-elbow tie-up, and the struggle for dominance begins.]
[Solo Sikoa quickly uses his power to push Jey into the corner, where he lands a series of stiff punches to the body, showing his strength early on. Jey fights back with chops to Solo’s chest, the sound echoing through the arena. The crowd is on their feet, fully invested in this family battle.]
[Solo whips Jey into the ropes and attempts a big clothesline, but Jey ducks under and hits Solo with a superkick right on the jaw, staggering him. Jey follows up with a flying forearm that takes Solo down, but Solo quickly rolls out of the ring to recover.]
Pat McAfee: “Jey Uso with the quickness there! Solo’s feeling that one!”
Jerry Lawler: “Jey’s got to stay on him! He can’t let Solo recover outside the ring!”
[Jey doesn’t give Solo a moment to breathe as he runs to the ropes and dives through them, hitting a suicide dive that sends both men crashing into the barricade. The crowd erupts as Jey pops back up, feeding off the energy of the WWE Universe.]
Booker T: “That’s what I’m talking about! Jey Uso is bringing the fight to Solo!”
[Jey rolls Solo back into the ring and climbs to the top rope, signaling for the Uso Splash. He leaps off, but Solo rolls out of the way at the last second, and Jey crashes hard into the mat. Solo seizes the opportunity, lifting Jey and planting him with a Samoan Drop, going for a quick cover.]
Referee: “One! Two—”
[Jey kicks out just in time, and the crowd breathes a sigh of relief. Solo doesn’t let up, though. He pulls Jey up and attempts a Spinning Solo (Spinning Uranage), but Jey counters, slipping out of Solo’s grasp and hitting him with a superkick to the knee, dropping Solo to one knee.]
[Jey sees his opening and connects with another superkick, this time to Solo’s face, dropping him flat on the mat. The crowd is on fire as Jey climbs the ropes once more, looking to end it.]
Pat McAfee: “This could be it! Jey Uso is going for it again!”
Jerry Lawler: “If he hits this, it’s over!”
[Jey leaps off the top rope and nails the Uso Splash perfectly, crashing down on Solo with all his weight. He hooks the leg, and the referee slides in for the count.]
Referee: “One! Two! Three!”
[The bell rings, and the crowd explodes as Jey Uso gets the victory. Jey rolls off Solo, clutching his midsection but with a look of triumph on his face. The referee raises his hand as his music plays, and Jey soaks in the cheers from the WWE Universe.]
Pat McAfee: “Jey Uso did it! What a win! He proved tonight that he’s the real deal, taking down his own brother in an absolute war!”
Jerry Lawler: “You’ve got to respect both these men for what they just went through. Family or not, they gave it everything they had!”
Booker T: “This is why they call him Main Event Jey Uso! That was a main event performance, dawg!”
[Jey looks down at Solo, who is slowly getting to his feet. There’s a moment of tension as the two brothers lock eyes. Jey extends his hand, offering a sign of respect. Solo hesitates for a moment, then exits the ring after he sees The Rock eyeing him.
[The camera lingers on Jey, who stands in the ring, raising his arms in victory as the crowd chants his name.
Awesome Truth Hype Their Tag Title Shot
[The scene cuts to a backstage area where Awesome Truth (The Miz and R-Truth) are standing in front of a giant WWE Smackdown backdrop. They’re both trying to look as serious as possible, but you can tell they’re barely holding it together. The Miz is wearing his trademark sunglasses and headband, while R-Truth has on his “What’s Up?” shirt and a massive, fake gold chain that looks like it’s straight out of a dollar store. The duo is clearly amped up, but in their usual hilarious, over-the-top style.]
The Miz: “WWE Universe, at Bash in Berlin, you’re looking at the future Tag Team Champions—Awesome Truth! And trust me, when I say we’re ready, I mean we are… kind of ready?”
R-Truth: “That’s right, Miz! We’re so ready that we… um, did you remember to pack our gear?”
The Miz: “Uh, yeah, about that… I think I left it in the trunk of the rental car. But don’t worry! We’ve got this! Because when you’re as awesome as we are, you don’t need fancy gear—you just need… uh… Truth, help me out here!”
R-Truth: “You just need heart! And maybe a little bit of luck! And possibly a map, ’cause Berlin is kinda big, and we might get lost on the way to the ring…”
[The Miz pulls off his sunglasses dramatically, trying to look intense but ends up squinting because the lights are too bright.]
The Miz: “Solo Sikoa, Jimmy Uso, you two might think you’re tough, but you’ve never faced anything like Awesome Truth! We’re the most must-see tag team in history! We’ve got charisma, we’ve got style, and we’ve got… uh, Truth, do we have an actual game plan?”
R-Truth: “Game plan? Man, I thought you had the game plan! I was busy trying to find out if they got good Wi-Fi in Berlin. Can’t miss my shows, Miz!”
The Miz: “Right… okay, so maybe we don’t have a game plan, but we do have something they don’t have!”
R-Truth: “Yeah! We got… we got… hold on, Miz, what do we got again?”
The Miz: “We’ve got each other, Truth! And while they’ve got The Bloodline, we’ve got the Power of Positivity—no wait, that’s The New Day—uh, we’ve got… the Power of Awesomeness?”
R-Truth: “Yeah! And the Power of Truthiness! We’re like the dynamic duo of awesomeness and truthiness combined, and that means we’re totally winning those titles… unless we get distracted by all the cool stuff in Berlin!”
[R-Truth starts bouncing around like a hyperactive kid, while The Miz tries to reel him in.]
R-Truth: “Miz, did you know they got a big ol’ tower in Berlin? I heard you can see the whole city from up there! We should go after we win the titles!”
The Miz: “Focus, Truth! We’ve got to stay focused on Solo and Jimmy! At Bash in Berlin, we’re going to do what we do best—be awesome!”
R-Truth: “Exactly! And the truth is, we’re gonna leave Berlin with those Tag Team Titles… unless we get lost on the way to the ring. But hey, we’ll figure it out!”
[The camera zooms in on The Miz, who’s trying to look serious but can’t stop smirking.]
The Miz: “At Bash in Berlin, Solo and Jimmy are going to get a reality check, and it’s going to be… Awesome Truth!”
R-Truth: “What’s up, Berlin? Y’all better save us some bratwurst, ’cause we coming for them titles… if we don’t accidentally end up at a museum instead!”
[The show ends with The Miz and R-Truth striking their signature pose, but they both get it wrong—The Miz goes for a high-five while R-Truth tries to do a fist bump. They awkwardly switch, miss again, and eventually just laugh it off as their music plays and the camera fades to black.]
