Renee Young opens tonight’s edition of WWE Talking Smack, and is joined by the Commissioner Shane McMahon. After McMahon tells Young that he has been out surfing with his sons and briefly discussing Battleground, they bring on the Usos.

First Guests: The Usos

McMahon tells the Usos that he thought they should have been the team to win the Rap Battle. He believes the battle was entertaining and does not agree with Wale’s decision.

At Battleground, the hosts want to know how the champs plan on overcoming the three on two odds. The Usos tell them they have been overcoming the odds since they first debuted in WWE. They are not nervous about fighting the New Day after the one-on-one loss. They explain they are a tag team not singles competitors.

McMahon asks the team to explain what “Day One Ish” is. The tag team tells him it is someone who has been there since day one. Young brings up Naomi and wants to know what the team thinks of what she has done in the Women’s Division. Jimmy say he is hating on her glowing championship. He wants their championship to glow too. Before the champs leave, Young tells them maybe they can get it if they win at Battleground.

The next topic is Shinsuke Nakamura versus Baron Corbin. McMahon is excited for their match after seeing their fight on Smackdown. He adds Corbin is big but Nakamura is quick. So we never know which way it will go.

Second Guest: Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn comes on the show with an ice pack on his neck. McMahon pokes fun at Zayn and tells him Maria Kanellis’ line “love hurts” was funny. Zayn did not find his comment interesting and took offense to it because he was still upset about the situation.

His goal was to apologize to them even though he felt like he did not have to. He liked the message they were trying to send. He was just trying to go to the ring when he interrupted them. Zayn would love to fight Mike Kanellis. He is over the power of love.

After Zayn leaves, they talk about the Women’s Division. There will be a 5-Way Elimination Match at Battleground. The winner will be the number one contender for the Smackdown Women’s Championship.

Third Guest: John Cena

John Cena did not want to tell Young what he had been doing in his time off. Instead he wants to talk about what he will do. He will have Flag Match against Rusev at Battleground. The match means a lot more to him than a win or loss. He is a patriot and wants to win for America.

Cena is happy to be back because he still has a lot to prove. He has many opportunities outside of WWE but he knows that he has to turn down some of those opportunities so he can focus in the ring. He knows there is a lot on his shoulders, but he is focused on winning at Battleground. Cena ends tonight’s WWE Talking Smack by saying he wants to wave the American Flag in Philadelphia.
