WWE SmackDown Live Results July 18th 2017, Latest SmackDown Live winners and video highlights; Former World Champion returns

Jimmy Uso vs. Kofi Kingston

The Tag Team Champions got the momentum!

The Usos and New Day made their respective entrances with the latter getting a great pop as usual.

Kofi and Jimmy kicked things off with Kofi getting the early advantage. It was classic New Day on display as Kofi did the booty shake right in Jimmy's face to infuriate him.

Jimmy bum-rushed Kofi but overshot it and goes to the outside. Kofi followed it up with an improvised dive as we went into a commercial break. Back from the break, Jimmy was on top of Kofi and began working on the former Tag Team Champion.

He connected with an enziguiri and got a two-count for it. Jimmy looked to continue the onslaught with a clothesline in the corner, but Kofi caught him midway with what looked like a standing double stomp.

Kofi began to rally as he first executed the boom drop and went for the Trouble in Paradise, but Jimmy countered by taking in the Samoan Drop position and ramming him neck first into the turnbuckle. Both men get up to the top turnbuckle. Kofi avoided major damage by first knocking Jimmy and then taking him down with a crossbody all while Jey tried to distract him by getting up to the apron.

However, Jimmy rolled through and kept Kofi down for the three-count.

Jimmy Uso def. Kofi Kingston

This was as predictable as it got from the WWE.

The cameras cut backstage with all the women of the SmackDown brand (well, most of them) with Shane McMahon. The SD commissioner wanted to book a match for tonight and considered every combination available based on the arguments from the women.

He finally booked Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch for later tonight.
