WWE SmackDown Live Coverage 8/25 – Women’s Title Match, Rey Mysterio Vs. Grayson Waller

The bell rings and the two lock up. They go back and forth with submission holds before Waller lands a shoulder tackle. Rey fires back with a hurricanrana and rains down right hands in the corner, then delivers a second hurricanrana that sends Waller crashing into the ropes. He dials it up for the 619, but Waller evades the maneuver and sends Rey crashing to the outside. He looks to follow him out there, but Rey catches him with another hurricanrana.

Back from the break, Waller fires off right hands on Rey. He follows it up with an elbow drop out of the corner and a spinning knee, then sends him crashing into the corner face first and once more spine first. He looks for a powerbomb, but Rey fights his way out with several right hands and sends Waller crashing into the ring post shoulder first. He ascends to the top and delivers a senton, then follows it up with a springboard crossbody and a Tornado DDT.

Waller lands a back elbow and plants Rey, then delivers a forearm to his spine. He runs the ropes, but Rey catches him with a clothesline and a senton off the ropes. He looks to dial it up for the 619, but Austin Theory’s music hits and he appears which captures Rey’s attention. This allows Waller to roll Rey up, but Rey kicks out and the pair level one another with crossbodies.

Santos Escobar blindsides Theory on the outside, but Theory gains the upperhand with a chop block. Rey levels Theory, but Waller attacks him and takes a shot at Escobar. He gets back in the ring (where Rey is waiting) and looks for a rolling stunner. Rey catches him with a 619 and looks to go flying back in the ring. Theory grabs his ankle, but Escobar takes care of Theory by landing a kick on him, allowing Rey to deliver a splash back into the ring and pin Waller for the win.

Winner: Rey Mysterio
