– WWE Friday Night SmackDown #1090
Venue: WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, USA
US first broadcast: July 10, 2020
The commentators Michael Cole and Corey Graves welcome us to a new edition of “Friday Night SmackDown”. They give an outlook on tonight and mention that besides the announced matches and segments there will also be a “karaoke showdown” between Naomi, Dana Brooke, Lacey Evans and Tamina. Well then…
Meanwhile, John Morrison & The Miz have made themselves comfortable in the ring to present their talk show “MizTV”. They introduce their guest Jeff Hardy today. While The Miz tries to moderate Hardy as seriously as possible, Morrison makes fun of him because he assumed that today’s “MizTV” episode was not meant seriously due to the guest. When Hardy arrived in the ring, The Miz apologized for Morrison’s comments. The latter, on the other hand, apologizes for his partner, who obviously misinterpreted his anticipation for Jeff. Then they ask Jeff to watch his video clip. Jeff, slightly annoyed, makes it clear that he did not bring a video clip with him, after which the moderators believe that they have a video about Jeff in their luggage. We take a look at the previous feud between Jeff and Sheamus, which has so far not been particularly successful for Jeff. The Miz & John Morrison make fun of it afterwards. After all, once a hero has gotten rid of his own demons, he usually ends up as a winner. But Jeff Hardy seems to go an unusual way, after all, Sheamus was able to defeat Jeff with “WWE Backlash”.
The Miz explains that Jeff is his little daughter’s favorite superstar. He doesn’t really like it because he doesn’t want his daughter to look up to someone who is constantly destroying himself. Miz & Morrison wonder how hard Jeff is struggling with the loss to Sheamus. He makes it clear that both the defeat and Sheamus himself are pulling hard on his nerve costume. He really wants to defeat Sheamus and finally leave the whole thing behind. He does this for people who are struggling with problems similar to his. The former WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions more or less agree with their guests and explain that Jeff must definitely defeat Sheamus in a rematch, for example in a bar fight. Jeff realizes that The Miz & John Morrison want to embarrass Jeff Hardy and do it for Sheamus, but he accepts the challenge. In return, he wants to compete against The Miz or John Morrison. These have made fun of him, which is why he will now hit them in the face. This creates a short brawl that Jeff can decide for himself.

Lacey Evans and Naomi are also training for the karaoke showdown.
For this host Jey Uso went to the ring. Lacey Evans performs “With My Baby Tonight” by Road Dogg & Jeff Jarrett, Dana Brooke presents her version of the Honky Tonk Man theme, Tamina gives Triple H’s “The Game” for the (more or less) best and Naomi closes the quartet of musical interludes with Dusty Rhodes’ entrance music. The audience choose Naomi as the winner, which Lacey Evans doesn’t like at all. That is why it comes as it must come: Brawl, Brawl (here by Jey Uso) is prevented, commercial break, match.
