IN THE THUNDERDOME AT THE YUENGLING CENTER<br \/>\nAIRS ON FOX NETWORK, 8:00 p.m. EDT<br \/>\nBY FRANK PETEANI (@FrankPeteani), PWTORCH.COM CONTRIBUTOR<\/h3>\n<p><em>Announcers: Michael Cole and Pat McAfee<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Latest WWE Then and Now<\/h4>\n<p>I would have liked to have announced that the latest WWE Then and Now episode is available, but technical issues wiped out a recording made last night by myself and PWTorch contributor Tyler Sage. We will do a \u201ctake two\u201d over the weekend, and I publicly want to express my appreciation to Tyler for being understanding. I anticipate it will be available for your listening pleasure by Monday. In anticipation of the upcoming Hell in a Cell PPV, we will review the first version from 2009 and preview the upcoming edition.<\/p>\n<h4>Match Results and Key Segments from Last Week<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Rey &amp; Dominik Mysterio defeated The Usos (Jimmy &amp; Jey) to retain the Smackdown Tag Team Championship. Dominik pinned Jimmy, although it was apparent Jimmy\u2019s shoulders were up. Their cousin Roman Reigns, Universal Champion, demanded the Usos \u201cfix this tonight.\u201d He accidentally called Jey \u201cJimmy,\u201d but said at this point does it really matter?<\/li>\n<li>Seth Rollins walked out of an interview with Kayla Braxton in which he was questioned as to what happens with Cesaro when he returns to Smackdown.<\/li>\n<li>Chad Gable tried to get the Street Profits (Montez Ford &amp; Angelo Dawkins) to join the Alpha Academy. Later the Profits questioned Gable\u2019s partner Otis what Gable had done for him. Otis attacked both men in anger.<\/li>\n<li>Carmella defeated Liv Morgan. After the match she demanded ring announcer Greg Hamilton announce her as the \u201cmost beautiful woman in all of WWE.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wording&#039;s key for \u201cThe Most Beautiful Woman in All of WWE\u201d: SmackDown Exclusive, June 4, 2021\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_gAI2jGH6KE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smackdown Women\u2019s Champion Bianca Belair challenged Bayley to a match at Hell in a Cell.<\/li>\n<li>King Corbin defeated Shinsuke Nakamura (w\/Rick Boogs) in about two minutes.

Earlier after Roman demanded the Usos \u201cfix\u201d what happened in the opening match, they went to Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville for a rematch. Pearce and Deville caught the Mysterios and told them they had to defend their titles again. Luckily, they were still in their wrestling gear. Who knew?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>This Week<\/h4>\n<p>We continue towards the 2021 edition of Hell in a Cell, which will be the final PPV held in the award-winning and critically acclaimed Thunderdome. Last week we learned that Bianca Belair will defend the Smackdown Women\u2019s Championship against Bayley at Hell in a Cell. Bianca defeated Bayley at WrestleMania Backlash. WWE has not put out their preview yet, but one match has been advertised which we knew about last week. They also hyped issues between Roman Reigns and Rey Mysterio because of what happened last week in a video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Is Rey Mysterio out for payback against Roman Reigns this Friday?\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l4yFjRc_23I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>Street Profits vs. Alpha Academy<\/h4>\n<p>Tonight, the Street Profits (Montez Ford &amp; Angelo Dawkins) will take on the Alpha Academy (Otis &amp; Chad Gable. I alluded to what led to this match in the recap section. Chad Gable was trying to get the Street Profits to join him, cleverly stating that \u201cprofits were down.\u201d They wanted no part of it. Later, Otis went back to confront the Profits and said that Gable was only trying to help, and they need to apologize. Ford said to Otis that Gable was actually holding him back and questioned what he\u2019d accomplished since joining Gable. They suggested he check out of the academy, which led to Otis slapping Ford and throwing Dawkins to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the Profits very seriously said they\u2019re going to \u201cdump\u201d Otis where he belongs with Gable, referencing Otis\u2019s previous Heavy Machinery tag team. These teams had a match back in February. Here\u2019s a clip:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Street Profits vs. Otis &amp; Chad Gable: SmackDown, Feb. 12, 2021\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/57S-zK5g_Jo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Frank\u2019s Analysis: It\u2019s great to see the Profits serious, as we talked about on the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Post Show last when I was a cohost. It\u2019s also great to see a tag team feud not involving the titles. Tag team wrestling featured over personal issues is fun to watch. I\u2019m interested to see what they do, especially on Otis &amp; Gable\u2019s end as they\u2019ve been entertaining and fun to watch.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Follow Frank on Twitter @FrankPeteani.
