It's already been taped, Smackdown looks like an average show.

 

* Hulk Hogan kicks off SmackDown to a big pop. He lets everyone know he’s running SmackDown for the night. Seth Rollins interrupts and says Hogan is the reason he got into the business. Rollins then says Hogan doesn’t deserve to be in the ring anymore because it’s all about Rollins. Dolph Ziggler comes out to defend Hogan. Big Show comes out and threatens to knockout Ziggler and Hogan. Roman Reigns comes out next and Hogan makes Rollins and Show vs. Reigns and Ziggler for the main event.

 

* Kane vs. Ryback starts slow until Rusev comes out for the distraction. Ryback knocks Rusev off the apron and avoids a chokeslam by Kane. Ryback hits Shellshocked for the win. After the match, Rusev and Kane beat down Ryback pretty bad.

 

* Hulk Hogan confronts Rusev and says he will be defending the United States Title later tonight.

 

* Naomi defeated Alicia Fox in a pretty quick match.

Looking at these spoilers makes me realize how much so much of the current roster really don't sound like interesting match ups.

 

 

Tho I am sure Brie hit a pretty dropkick and deserved to win the match by it.

[Brysynner]

Harper and Swagger in a HOSS fight. Main Event is the second most important show to watch on the WWEN this week

[JCM]

What is that 10 losses in a row for Rollins? He'll be lucky to get a mid card match at Mania at this rate. I think every face in the company has a win over Rollins except the guy who feuded with him for 6 months. Ambrose/Rusev sounds like it's worth checking out.

[mco543]

Rollins beat Cena last Monday.

[Patrick B.]

Cena will get his win back to keep him strong.  Otherwise a little kid with cancer might cry.

[Overly Critical Man]

Brie winning with a missile dropkick seems like someone in creative reads this board and is trying to get on our good side.

I guess we know who Matt will be touting for March Madness.

[ebbie]

Nah. He will vote against her to spite me. I wonder if it was one from the top rope.

Depends on how hard she was concentrating during said dropkick.

[Spritenaut 32]

Brie winning with a missile dropkick seems like someone in creative reads this board and is trying to get on our good side.

 

Only if the more detailed set of spoilers has her joining the Studd Stable before the dropkick.  Hopefully, the finish was distraction by Col. Parker, Meng ran in, feinted the KICK OF FEAR, and Summer Rae walked into the missile dropkick while trying to dodge Meng.

[Overly Critical Man]

The referee also needs to unmask and reveal that he was Bunkhouse Buck.

[Go2Sleep]

He was very well protected up to Survivor Series, but it's a time-honored tradition for the MITB winner to job to everyone. It probably means his cash-in moment is officially planned.

[nate]

Hogan with a "holla holla bruther" tag match.

This is to get him ready for all his future losses as champ in pretty much every multi man and non title match he will be in and dq wins and authority assisted wins otherwise.

I'm 100% sure he will be a title less face before the end of 2015.

[MGFanJay]

This was a show. Seth losing sucks, but I dig his new-ish gear. Loved seeing him share a ring with Hogan, put him over, and get a handshake. He went from being a Ring of Honor World Champion to that, and while it's come with some iffy gear, a generic theme and tron, and Billy and Chuck's logo being used for him, at least he finally feels like a top guy - even if HHH still feels like the actual top heel. We need more Ambrose-Rusev matches too, as that was easily Rusev's best match yet. Shame Dean is being wasted, because he's such a special talent and should be getting Roman's push right now. Loved Rusev getting BROTHERed and Hogan adding a sister in there for Lana too.

The IWC shitting all over Reigns puzzles me no end. No, he isn't Nick Bockwinkel, but he's perfectly fine in his role as a power guy. The tag match was all sorts of good, even with Big Show slowing things down. I'm not going to say that Reigns is the next Rock, but it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he were. The dude has IT in spades.

[Matt D]

The issue is that we like Ambrose more and it's a zero sum game. Hell, it was reported earlier in the year that Cesaro was depushed and his babyface turn cooled off because they only wanted to push one major guy at a time and that guy was Reigns, and if we like Ambrose more than him, we like Cesaro WAY more than him. That said, I'm a sucker for the "punching the ground" thing.

 

 

And this:

 

[ebbie]

Reigns has more appeal than Ambrose. If the end goal is to make more viewers, Reigns smile would make women watch if they had him do a promotional tour.

Ambrose annoys the shit out of me because he sells everything like goddamn Taz. Not everything deserves a 'ffugkgdhkursxwsgijcjnhyo!!!!!' face.

Yeah, but none of us have WWE stock.

 

I'll take Barrett over Reigns too if that helps? Part of the problem is that they're utilizing Reigns poorly. The guy has a natural easy-going charisma but he's terrible at the scripted promos. 

[Patrick B.]

Dean has become very one-dimensional with his matches over the last month or two.  They are all brawls and street fights but lack any motivation.  He is slotting himself in the mid-card as a wildman who just has street fights/cage matches. 

 

Mick came off as a lovable, goofy guy that did crazy things.  Dean is this crazy guy who does the same things week after week.

[Cristobal]

Cuz that's the matches they keep booking him in. He's in stupid garbage spotfests so he does garbage spots. Because in WWE's mind, crazy person=going to hit you with a TV or some shit.
