WWE SmackDown Live Results: August 9, 2016

Short-Lived Alliance.

Twelve nights before SummerSlam, the 886th edition of WWE SmackDown Live came to you, live, from the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, CA. Last week on SmackDown Live, a determined and impassioned Dolph Ziggler would set out to prove his naysayers wrong by putting his #1 Contender’s spot on the line against Bray Wyatt and, while “The Show Off” used the exposed steel turnbuckle to ultimately defeat Bray and ensure that he will be the one challenging Dean Ambrose for the WWE World Championship at SummerSlam, it would be Bray Wyatt would be the one left standing as “The Eater of Worlds” would reunite with his longtime follower Erick Rowan to deliver a beat down to not only Dolph Ziggler, but WWE World Champion Dean Ambrose as well. Now, with less than two weeks before SummerSlam, will we see any retaliation from Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose against Bray Wyatt & Erick Rowan?
