The WWE is back on tour this weekend with the Superstars of the blue brand, SmackDown Live, heading to ‘The Land of the Rising Sun’ today for their first stop in Tokyo, Japan. After missing a lot of ring time recently, WWE Champion AJ Styles was back inside the squared circle to defend his title against Samoa Joe. Also in action were SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella fresh off her trip to Australia, Daniel Bryan, The Miz and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Bludgeon Brothers.

As it has been noted, Shinsuke Nakamura is currently dealing with an injury after an incident with a police dog this week in Bakersfield, California (which you can read about here), however he was still present for the event while using a crutch, but is still unable to compete. Below are the results:

• The New Day defeated The Bar
• Hideo Itami defeated Shelton Benjamin, leading to Shelton calling for another match
• ‘The Perfect 10’ Tye Dillinger defeated Shelton Benjamin
• Shinsuke Nakamura appeared and was confronted by Samoa Joe, which then leads to AJ Styles coming out to make the save
• SmackDown Women’s Title: Carmella retained over Becky Lynch
• Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas defeated Sin Cara
• Daniel Bryan defeated The Miz
• Naomi & Asuka defeated Lana & Billie Kay w/Peyton Royce
• SmackDown Tag Title Fatal 4-Way: The Bludgeon Brothers retained over Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson, The Usos & Rusev Day
• WWE Title: AJ Styles retained over Samoa Joe
