WWE Smackdown Taping
Jimmy Uso was on commentary...
Seth Rollins came out with Kane and Joey Mercury. Seth said he is dedicating tonight's match to Jamie Noble. He cut a typical Authority promo, then they show the fight from Raw between Ryback and Big Show. Ryback was called out to the ring. Seth and Ryback went back and forth with verbal jabs with Ryback getting the upper hand. Ryback vs. Kane is set for later in the show. Right before Seth got to the back, he called out Dean Ambrose for later tonight... Dolph and Lana walking backstage before the break...
Dolph Ziggler came to the ring with Lana and they showed the backstage scene from Raw of Rusev freaking out and then Summer Rae helping him up. Sheamus was out next...
1. Sheamus beat Dolph Ziggler. Not two minutes into the match, Rusev came out with a mic to talk to Lana. He even dropped "Lana, I will kiss you the right way" before she turned her back on him. He was so embarrassed that he hobbled to the back. The match picked back up with Shamus in complete control. After some back and forth, Sheamus hit Ziggler with the Brogue Kick while Ziggler was straddling the ropes for the pin...
Rusev was shown in the back again, and Summer Rae said something to him...
2. Alicia Fox (w/The Bellas) beat Naomi (w/Tamina). The match was pretty back and forth until it spilled out to the ring with Tamina super kicking both Bellas (it was actually pretty sick). Naomi got back into the ring and rolled into a school boy and pinned by Alicia Fox...
Another Raw Replay of the verbal spar last night between John Cena and Kevin Owens was shown...
New Day was shown in a backstage interview with JoJo. Prime Time Players decided to interrupt the interview. Titus O'Neil did a pretty good Big E impression. Bo Dallas later approached the New Day and asked to join them. They tried to teach him the clap, but he couldn't get it right...
They cut to Kane coming out to the ring by himself. Ryback did his Feed Me More chant at the top of the ramp and then Big Show attacked him. Ryback put up no fight. The crowd tried to revive Ryback to no avail. After a good five minutes, Big Show finally threw Ryback into the ring.
3. Ryback defeated Kane by DQ. Kane went for the quick cover but Ryback kicked out. Ryback finally got the upper hand after the Meathook Clothesline, and went for Shellshocked, but Big Show stepped in the ring and kicked Ryback to force the DQ. Afterwards, they gave Ryback separate chokeslams and left him motionless in the ring...
It is impressive how fast the ring crew is at changing the apron in between commercials...
4. The Prime Time Players and The Lucha Dragons beat New Day and Bo Dallas. The Lucha Dragons wore sick new black and lime green masks and tights. After a lot of back and forth, Kalisto hit the 450 splash off the top rope for the pin on Xavier Woods.
The Raw replay of Bray Wyatt singing to Roman Reigns was shown...
Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose were shown talking in the locker room (both got huge pops). Dean suggested they go after Bray together, but Roman said he crossed the line and he wants to do this alone. Dean left and Roman found a picture of himself in his bag with the words "anyone but you" on it. Later, Roman was shown searching for Bray in the back and told a crew guy to get on his headset and find Bray. Kane confronted him and then banned him from the building for, as Kane called it, "being a liability"...
Ambrose came out first to the biggest pop of the night. Seth was out next, with Kane and Joey by his side for the most heat of the night. This main event is going to be so much better than what was being advertised the past few weeks on local television (which was Ambrose and Reigns vs. Rollins and Big Show).
5. Seth Rollins defeated Dean Ambrose. Ambrose was in complete control in the beginning and Rollins tried to leave the match. Ambrose brought him back into the ring, but Rollins gains the upper hand and put Ambrose in a leg lock similar to the figure four but with Dean on his stomach (I've never seen that type of leglock before). Dean finally gets to the rope and eventually hits the superplex. After two kickouts by Seth, Seth fought back and set up Dean on the top rope. Dean got out just to be on the receiving end of the Rollins super kick. Business picked up with kick outs back and forth action. These two are so good together in the ring and the crowd was eating it up. Dean got a little too confident at the end and tried to hit Dirty Deeds on Joey, but Seth stopped it and won with the Pedigree. The Authority was than shown standing over an incapacitated Dean to end the taping...
After the taping, Big Show came out and they started kicking Dean. Ryback came out to help and was followed closely by Roman for a monster pop. All three hit their finishers to send the crowd home happy...
