Dean Ambrose defeated Baron Corbin in the main event of SmackDown this week. (WWE.com)
Tonight’s SmackDown couldn’t quite match the insanity of Monday Night Raw, but it was still a well-received episode overall, featuring progress on several major storylines.
The main event saw a match between Dean Ambrose and Baron Corbin, but we also saw a few more matches in the Tag Team Championship tournament, including one against The Hype Bros and the returning Headbangers, and another during which Heath Slater and Rhyno actually advanced to the next round.
Here are some of the best reactions and memes from throughout the show, presented in the order that they occurred.
Dolph Ziggler Confronts The Miz
Wow, this is twice this year they've actually given Dolph the ball. Are they gonna let him run with it? #SDLive #SmackDown

— Brian M. (@BJM_1984) August 31, 2016
That may have been the best opening promo segment the WWE has had in years. #SDLive
— Patrick (@TheTimidDonut) August 31, 2016
SmackDown has already been great. and its probably only gonna get better. #SDLive

Awesome segment to start #SDLive!!! Miz and Dolph both had very good promos. Hopefully Dolph wins the Intercontinental Championship

Both #SDLive and #RAW started this week with solid promo segments.

No intro for the Vaudevillians.
Oh. I remember they were somewhat over. #SDlive

@ZackRyder is so much better than the credit he deserves. Long Island Ice T can brawl! #SDLive #TagTeamTitles

What is the point of having the Hype Bros win? Why is the tournament all faces? That makes zero sense. #IGShow #SDLive
— Big Booty Daddy (@RabbittRoggerr3) August 31, 2016
Man…I REALLY hope that The Vaudevillians are not getting ‘The Ascension’ treatment on the main roster. #SDLive #WWE

When you're getting jobbed out to the Hype Bros, you should just quit there and then #SDLive -Tucker
— WrestlingMemories (@WrestleMemories) August 31, 2016
Hype bros got a zero reaction #SDLive
— PWC-ProWrestlingCov (@wweufccoverage) August 31, 2016
Crowd = not hyped. #SDLive

AJ Styles vs. Apollo Crews
Lmfao @ AJ Styles thinking he is the face that runs the place #SDLive pic.twitter.com/nvcA7N10D6
— Eman ? (@HamTraash) August 31, 2016
AJ Styles demanding that he is now announced as "the face that runs the place" is a lovely touch. #SDLive
— Adam Pacitti (@adampacitti) August 31, 2016
Apollo gets no crowd reaction and that's kinda sad#SDLive
— Dante (@DvrtyDeeeds) August 31, 2016
Why is Apollo Creed out there? #SDLive #WWE
— Josy (@josy0710) August 31, 2016
I'm just not sure "Everyone forgets my name" is the right gimmick for a Rising Star…#SDLive
— The New Age Insiders (@NewAgeInsiders) August 31, 2016
I still think it was a bit too early to call up Apollo Crews! #SDLive #ApolloCrews #AJStyles
— Hurricane Madrigal (@IsiahZayBug) August 31, 2016
Should it still be surprising that everyone who wrestles @AJStylesOrg always looks amazing? #SDLive

I only wish that match was longer….#SDLive

Nothing on TV is as compelling as @Rhyno313 eating cheese whiz & crackers. #SDLive

This is the best segment of all time! Heath is great. #SDLive

Rhyno right now ? #SDLive pic.twitter.com/yGTNqc5GEb
— Bleacher Report WWE (@BR_WWE) August 31, 2016
That segment had Vince McMahon humour all over it. Luckily Heath was good enough that it wasn't a complete dud #SDLive

I find it hard to believe that Orton doesn't fear Wyatt when he hardly enjoys pants. #SDLive
— kate (@makeitloud) August 31, 2016
Good stuff said between Orton & Wyatt just didn't like that way the segment came to an abrupt end. #OrtonVsWyatt #SDLive

Natalya & Alexa Bliss vs Naomi & Becky Lynch
No offence to the other women but Becky Lynch really deserves to be the first womens champion of #SDLive. She's worked her butt off for this

It's amazing that the "stronger" talent crop of women are on RAW but the women on #SDLive are the ones creating a buzz.
— Wrestling Soup (@WrestlingSoup) August 31, 2016
#SDLive uses their women so well. It's all I've wanted.

Heath Slater & Rhyno vs. The Headbangers
Bruh… The Headbangers look like they just walked right off of a 1997 episode of #RAW from the WWE Network. They look great! #SDLive

Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin
Best way to kill someone's momentum? Put him in a 4 month feud with Dolph Ziggler. Imagine Corbin having a memorable first program. #SDLive

#RAW closed off with Kevin Owens holding up the Universal Title. #SDLive closed off with Styles getting his balls crushed by the ropes.
