WWE FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN Highlights For July 3, 2020: AJ Styles VS Drew Gulak IC Title Match And More

The latest edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown for July 3, 2020 took place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

Here is a recap of the most noteworthy highlights from this episode for those who might have missed it:

— Michael Cole interviewed Matt Riddle to start the show. He revealed that he doesn't wear shoes because he suffered from frostbite once as a kid and he still feels that sensation when he puts shoes on. King Baron Corbin came out to talk trash and set up a match for Riddle with John Morrison. Matt Riddle defeated John Morrison by pinfall.

— AJ Styles defeated Drew Gulak by pinfall to retain the Intercontinental Championship

— The Golden Role Models (Bayley and Sasha Banks) had a promo and video package touting how great they are. After a long while, Nikki Cross and Alexa Bliss interrupted, which led to a match between Bayley and Alexa Bliss. Bayley beat Bliss by disqualification when Nikki Cross got involved.

— Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Kofi Kingston by pinfall.

— Sheamus toasted Jeff Hardy with a bartender and a stocked shelf of liquor. Hardy took out the bartender to end the show.

Next week, the tag team titles are on the line as The New Day face Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro, there will be a rerun of Braun Strowman vs Bray Wyatt from Money in the Bank and the women's tag team champions Bayley and Sasha Banks will face Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross in a non-title match.
