WWE SmackDown Live Match Results & Spoilers September 20th

Tonight on SmackDown Live, The Miz must defend his Intercontinental Championship title against Dolph Ziggler. Plus, John Cena goes one-on-one with Dean Ambrose in a match, and if we’re lucky enough, we may see the return of Eva Marie. The show will air tonight at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the USA Network, broadcast from Birmingham, Alabama.

On SmackDown tonight, The Miz will be placed in a match against Dolph Ziggler, and his Intercontinental Championship title is on the line. The Miz is not happy about this, describing the decision in a Facebook video as Daniel Bryan pulling a fast one on him and saying that Dolph Ziggler does not deserve another shot at the title. After demanding a contract negotiation, The Miz, Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon came to an agreement recently, and so we’ll likely learn the details of this new contract this evening.

Plus, last week on SmackDown, it was announced that John Cena, Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles will fight in a Triple Threat match to determine the WWE World Champion at No Mercy. Last week, Cena and Ambrose teamed up in a tag team match, but it ended with Ambrose betraying and assaulting Cena. This week, John Cena and Dean Ambrose will go head-to-head.

On the women’s division side of things, we’ll likely be seeing much more of Alexa Bliss, who last week earned the right to challenge Becky Lynch for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship at No Mercy. She didn’t wait long to go after Lynch, insulting the Irish Lass Kicker on Talking Smack immediately after the show.

“I’ve watched her for years,” Bliss said of Lynch. “I saw her walk in on her first day at NXT. I know her weaknesses. I know her flaws…And I know how to counter pretty much everything that she can do.”

Eva Marie’s suspension also just ended, so might we see her return tonight? Could she actually, finally make her debut? Finally, we’ll almost certainly see more of the feud between Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt, more of Heath Slater and Rhyno, and perhaps even a role for the magnificent James Ellsworth.

WWE Battleground 2014 Predictions: Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal

When Bad News Barrett defeated Big E to capture the Intercontinental Championship at Extreme Rules in May, it appeared as though the company was serious about reestablishing the title as an important step toward the achieving heavyweight title success at the next level of competition.

Unfortunately, questionable booking halted some of the momentum, while an unfortunate injury forced Barrett to vacate the title. He will be in Tampa to hand it over to the winner of Sunday's Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal.

WWE finds itself in the position to again reset and reestablish the title as more than just a prop for a talented midcard talent to carry around.

This weekend's Battle Royal features several former WWE and World Heavyweight champions, all of whom would make an excellent choice to carry the title. 

Current United States champion Sheamus would make history by becoming the first Superstar to simultaneously hold the U.S. and Intercontinental titles since Edge did it back in November 2001.

For Dolph Ziggler, a win would mark the second time he has carried the coveted title.

Alberto Del Rio, for all of his success in WWE, has never held the Intercontinental Championship. Winning it Sunday night could ignite a renewed push for a Superstar that, just one year ago, was considered one of the company's MVPs.

Rob Van Dam has held the title on six different occasions, and while he most certainly does not need a seventh, it would give him something to do rather than floating aimlessly around the midcard.

Superstars such as Cesaro, Kofi Kingston and Ryback are always threats, while newcomer Bo Dallas is one to watch.

Prediction: The Miz

The former WWE champion recently made his return to WWE after completing the filming of the latest WWE Studios picture The Marine 4, and he has adopted a new Hollywood movie-star gimmick.

The element in which he is desperate to protect his "moneymaker" face will only help him garner heat the more it gets over with the audience, while his ring work, which has been fairly strong since returning, will only endear him to some of his harsh critics.

With a budding rivalry against U.S. champion Sheamus, The Miz winning the Intercontinental Championship could potentially set up a title unification bout as early as SummerSlam.
