WWE SmackDown Live Updates, Results and Highlights From July 3

Jade Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab entered the arena for the six-woman tag bout together, showing the unity that the babyface side lacked when they arrived individually, with tension between Flair and Stratton threatening to boil over.

The babyfaces started hot, but the heels took Flair out at ringside to seize control, which they retained throughout the timeout.

Cathy Kelley caught up with Charlotte Flair backstage ahead of the night's Six-Woman Tag Team Match and asked her why she interfered in the Women's United States Championship bout between Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill last Saturday at Night of Champions.

Alexa Bliss interrupted and expressed frustration over The Queen not communicating with her about her plans. Flair called her out for not telling her about teaming with Stratton last Friday night.

The United States champ entered the picture and told Flair that she never needed her help. Before tensions could get too high, Chelsea Green arrived to a big pop and tried to get everyone on the same page.

The Queen entered the arena for the night's first match.

Commercial break.

Former undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes interrupted the champion's promo, joining him in the ring for the first time since Saturday's premium live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"Sami."

"Cody. So, what do you want to talk about?" Zayn asked, smugly.

Rhodes told the new champion that he was the first to come to the ring at WrestleMania 40 when The American Nightmare defeated Roman Reigns to win the gold, and he wanted to be the first to do so tonight.

He extended his hand to Zayn, who hesitated, then accepted the sign of respect.

Zayn told Rhodes to let down the act and be real, but before Cody could, Jey Uso hit the ring to add another star to the segment.

"You earned that. You deserve that, but you know why I'm here. Bloodline business, uce. This is your warning shot. I have to bring that back to the family," Uso said.

"At what point did my boy, Jey Uso, resort to running errands for The Tribal Chief?" Rhodes asked his former tag team title partner.

"Jey, what did you say? You have to take this back to the family? As far as I'm concerned, it still is," Zayn said.

Acting general manager Adam Pearce appeared and made the predictable match: Rhodes vs. Uso in a No. 1 Contender's Match, with the winner to battle Zayn on Monday night on Raw.

From there, the new champion entered to a big reaction and exaggeratedly high-fived fans along the guardrail. The fans in Atlantic City greeted The Last Real Good Guy by serenading him with his theme song, and pyro exploded at the entrance in celebration of his triumphant moment.

"It seems to me like a lot of folks out here came to ride or die with the Last Real Good Guy!" Zayn exclaimed to start his promo.

The champion quickly turned on the fans, criticizing them for being the same fans who booed him out of the building for the last six months. He could be petty, he said, and tell the fans to kiss his ass, but he won't.

Because he is a good guy.

"I won this the same way I always said I would. I won it my way. I won it the right way!" he said, holding the title up.

He said he could tell the doubters to kiss his ass, but he won't because it is a celebration.

"We are celebrating me. I will forever go down as one of the greats. Sami Zayn: WrestleMania main eventer. Grand slam champion," he said. "No amount of booing, no amount of noise, will ever take that away from me!"
