SmackDown Live has struggled to command the same audience that its Monday Night rival has maintained since the Brand Extension.

However, with SummerSlam less than one week ago, the blue brand will be firing on all cylinders in an effort to boost the audience for the biggest Pay-Per-View of the Summer!

While seeing The Miz interview any superstar is less than thrilling, it has over the past years been the setting for two rivals to meet face-to-face before their battles.

This theme is kept true as the Intercontinental Champion will be speaking to both WWE World Champion Dean Ambrose and his SummerSlam opponent Dolph Ziggler.

The Lunatic Fringe hit a Dirty Deeds on The Showoff last week, a favor turned following Ziggler's accidental super-kick earlier in the show.

Nevertheless, both men do not get along and pitting them in a wrestling ring with a man that has the tendency to rub people the wrong way, could be a recipe for the right kind of disaster.

Cena can see Del Rio

Ahead of his hugely anticipated match against AJ Styles on Sunday, The Face that Runs the Place will go one-on-one against Alberto Del Rio.

With John Cena having so few televised matches over the past month, it will be a good test to see if The Champ still has what it takes ahead of his battle with The Phenomenal One.

Styles will no doubt be paying close attention and may find it hard to resist getting involved in the match, and halting his SummerSlam opponent's momentum.

The two stars have been going at it on WWE Live events with the Leader of the Cenation defeating the former TNA performer four times out of four in singles action.

Tag-Team Chaos

The tag-team division on SmackDown Live is currently in disarray, with just one duo standing tall above the rest: American Alpaha.

The rest of the division decided to get a first hand look at the former NXT Champions last week and immediately following their victory chaos descended.

All the tag-teams, The Hype Bros, The Ascension, The Vaudevillians and American Alpha looked to beat each other down.

It was to no avail for the intruders as the team of Jason Jordan and Chad Gable stood tall at the end of the beat-down, clearing the ring of all competitors, but will they still be standing if the others decide to get a slice of revenge?

Becky is seeing Red

The past two weeks, have been traumatic for Becky Lynch who after entering the ring has been relegated to fighting no one and then a makeshift opponent in Alexa Bliss in last weeks show.

Her opponent two weeks ago Eva Marie suffered an injury and was unable to compete and last week was the victim of wardrobe malfunction.

The Irish Lasskicker issued an open challenge to any female in the back and Bliss was ready for a fight, just when it looked like the Fiery Redhead was about to gain a second singles victory on SmackDown Live, Eva Marie returned.

Lynch was distracted by the returning performer and the former Manager of Blake and Murphy seized her opportunity and hit her finisher on the former PCB member to pick up the pin-fall win.

Marie, may have cost Becky a win but she may regret that if she comes face to face with the 29-year-old either tonight or at SummerSlam, should she accept any offers.
