After an extended clip of the quarrel between Eva Marie and Jojo, Eva Marie makes it clear that Jojo has to fly on her own, especially when Jojo doesn't even have a driver's license.

Nattie explains that Jaret is one of her best friends, and that there are layers to that friendship. Even though she liked the attention from Jaret, especially when she was going through a rough patch when TJ's recovery from knee surgery, the Divas agree that what Jaret did was what made it necessary for Nattie to take stock of what her priorities were.

TJ shows up from backstage. TJ admits that he was skeptical about the thing between Jaret and Nattie, especially with the texting.

Ariane says that her endometriosis may keep her from having children. As for Vinny, she stuck with him because he's so supportive of her.

Jon Uso is brought out. He considers Trinity to be goofier than he is. Jon's nickname (from Trinity) is "Jerdy," which happens to be a permutation of "Jelly" due to Trinity calling Jon the jelly to her peanut butter.

John Cena is brought out. He says that he is truly in love with Nikki, but is not considering proposing to her anytime soon. Nikki says she's always known how John has felt. As for Nattie and TJ's wedding, Cena takes the blame for Nikki missing it. He then thanks the Divas for being pioneers with this show and putting their personal business out there for all to see.

Nattie's family (including her father Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart) shows up at her and TJ's house. Her mother has picked a gown for her, but Nattie already has something picked out. Nattie and her sister, Muffy, don't really like it all that much.

The Divas are at the grand unveiling of the WWE Performance Center. Janet is looking for some valets, especially in Jojo and Eva Marie.

Nikki is talking to Brie when John Cena has to talk to her. His family is getting together for the first time in years, and he would like her to come to the reunion with him. The day of the reunion is the same day as Nattie's wedding. It would mean a lot to him if she came to the reunion, but Nikki is torn between two big events.

Eva Marie finds out that she's valeting Nattie, but Mark tells Jojo she's on the radar.

Six hours later, Trinity and Ariane leave the hospital. Ariane has found out that she most likely has endometriosis.

Eva Marie and Jojo finally talk, and Eva Marie wants to know why Jojo is so distant. Eva Marie senses jealousy from Jojo, and it becomes obvious that they're not the best of friends anymore and that they should go their separate ways.

It's TJ and Nattie's wedding day. Nattie hopes to get through this day without any tension. Easier said than done: the weather is turning stormy. The wedding will have to be held inside. Nattie feels frustrated, and wonders what else will go wrong when Jaret shows up.

Nattie apologizes to her mother about the dress she made for her. When the Divas show up, she finds out Vinny is also here. Nattie and Eva Marie are surprised that he's here, but they're getting along better, especially after Vinny checked on Ariane after her hospital.

Nikki and John Cena have dinner with the rest of John Cena's family. Nikki considers John's family the most hilarious pack of people she's ever met. She feels closer to John and feels she made the right decision, but she feels bad for Nattie and hopes she can patch stuff up with her.

Meanwhile, at the site of TJ and Nattie's wedding, Jaret talks with TJ, opening up a can of worms in the process. TJ hears about what went on with Jaret and Nattie in Calgary for the first time, as well as their constant correspondence. TJ confronts Nattie about this.

When TJ confronts Nattie about her correspondence with Jaret, TJ is almost set to cancel the wedding on the day it's about to happen. When TJ and Nattie are late to the wedding (with Damien Sandow as best man), the Divas are concerned. Nattie tells TJ that he's the only man that she wants, and apologizes. TJ and Nattie finally marry.

TJ and Nattie finally have their wedding dance at the reception. Brie gets a call from Nikki, asking her to let her talk to Nattie. She does, and Nattie appreciates the fact that she took the time to apologize to her, and accepts her apology. Brie catches the bouquet. Nattie considers herself a lucky woman after all that has transpired.

Nikki and John have dinner alone, and talk about their relationship, which has been really good so far. John says he wants to see her more, as they're too far away and wants her to move in with him, which is something he's thought about a lot. She agrees.

Bonus clip: Nattie and her sister Muffy go wedding dress shopping. Guess who picks the dress? The kids.

Layin 'da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for September 13, 2013

Big Show shows up and "apologizes for his abhorrent behavior on Raw." He's obviously reading from a piece of paper. Triple H shows up and just wants him to be a professional and a businessman. Show is then suspended for the night without pay. As Big Show leaves, The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns) show up...but Big Show fires back! After a while, Roman hits show with a steel chair, and that's all it takes to set up a three-man power bomb.

The Miz wins, and Fandango isn't happy about it. He goes after Miz, but Miz and R-Truth beat him up and toss him out of the ring.

Ryback hosts an interview with Robert Evans, who eventually and predictably gets beat up. (Wrestling fans may recognize Robert Evans as Archibald Peck.)

Vickie Guerrero bans Ricardo Rodriguez from being in Rob Van Dam's corner at Night of Champions...and puts him in a match against Alberto Del Rio! He must win this match if he wants the ban lifted!

Santino Marella beats Damien Sandow.

Michael Cole interviews Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel in the ring. Axel says CM Punk can't beat him, while Heyman calls for a boycott of Night of Champions as CM Punk will get his hands on him. He will always love CM Punk, but he will never forgive the WWE Universe.

Edge shows up to host The Cutting Edge. He brings out Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan. Orton insists he is not a sell-out and did what anyone else would have done. D-Bry, on the other hand, is tired of Orton's corporate schlock and plans to be WWE Champion at Night of Champions. This starts a brawl that ends with Orton tapping to Daniel Bryan's Yes! Lock. The referees rush out and break the brawl up.

My predictions for Night of Champions

The Prime Time Players (Darren Young and Titus O'Neil) vs. Tons of Funk (Brodus Clay and Tensai) vs. The Usos (Jimmy & Jey Uso) vs. 3MB (any pairing of Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre, or Jinder Mahal) vs. The Real Americans (Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro) (with Zeb Colter)

in a Tag Team Turmoil match for #1 contendership of the WWE Tag Team Championships

Yep, this is the kick-off. It's a bunch of tag teams in a Tag Team Turmoil match (think of it as a Tag Team Gauntlet match). The last team standing gets to take on The Shield (Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) later that night.

My prediction: I love all these teams! But I'd like to see The Usos get the win on this one. This could be a good redemption for coming so close at Money In The Bank.

Randy Orton (c) vs. Daniel Bryan

for the WWE Championship

Oh, come on. You know Daniel Bryan has a rematch clause from SummerSlam. You know Randy Orton's heel again. You know Orton's part of the Corporation (or whatever it's gonna be called at this point). You know Triple H doesn't consider D-Bry "face of the company" material. You know all that's gone down at this point.

My prediction: I think Randy Orton will somehow retain this one. As much as I'd like Daniel Bryan to win it (and boy, do we ever want it!), I can picture this feud continuing into Battleground or even Survivor Series very, very easily. Orton will win...for now.

Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. Rob Van Dam

for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship

Ever since he's returned at Money In The Bank, Rob Van Dam has been flying high and winning most of his matches. That's a really good thing, because he's powered his way into #1 contendership to the World title as only RVD knows how.

Now with Ricardo Rodriguez as his mouthpiece (after being betrayed by Alberto Del Rio following a 30-day Wellness Policy suspension, supposedly for illegal fat burners), Rob Van Dam is putting Del Rio...and the rest of the WWE...on notice.

My prediction: Put the belt on RVD already, will ya?

CM Punk vs. Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel

in a 2-on-1 handicap match

If Paul Heyman does not show for the fight, he will be fired from the WWE.

Oh, boy. CM Punk's sure gonna get his hands on Paul Heyman once and for all, all right. Of course, he'll have to deal with Curtis Axel as well. But the good news is that Paul Heyman can't weasel his way out this one, because if he does...he's fired!

Kinda stinks that the Intercontinental title won't be on the line. This is called Night of Champions, WWE. You put it on the line last year. C'mon.

My prediction: CM Punk will probably win this one. I mean, he kicked Axel in the head while handcuffed. You can't beat that!

AJ Lee (c) vs Natalya vs Brie Bella vs Naomi

in a Fatal Four-Way match for the WWE Divas Championship

Shortly after SummerSlam, AJ Lee did a rather fantastic promo from the top of the entrance ramp as the entire cast of Total Divas was in the ring, where she said that while they should be thankful they're on a reality show, they still can't toe-to-Chuck Taylors with her and beat her in the ring for the Divas title. A week later, she interfered in a Triple Threat match for #1 contendership for the Divas title involving Natalya, Brie Bella and Naomi only to get manhandled...er, Diva-handled. The three competitors got with Stephanie McMahon, who decided to put all three of them in a Fatal Four-Way match against AJ for the Divas title.

The Divas Division is getting interesting again.

My prediction: If there was ever a time to put the belt on Natalya again, this would be perfect. I personally want one of the Total Divas stars to get the title, but the fact that Natalya is in matches more than she's with The Great Khali due to the Total Divas exposure is a sign of something grand, and I'd like to see her win the title again as a result.

The Shield (Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns) (c) vs Tag Team Turmoil winners

for the WWE Tag Team Championships

See the Tag Team Turmoil entry. That's all I can say about this one.

My prediction:  Shield retains. Because.

Dean Ambrose (c) vs Dolph Ziggler

for the WWE United States Championship

Of all the people to challenge him for the title...Dolph Ziggler? Fresh off his third World Heavyweight Championship reign? Seriously?  Well, at least he can get some gold around his waist again...if Dean Ambrose doesn't get to him first!

My prediction: Dean Ambrose will probably retain.
