victor Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Seems like a pretty good show. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns opens SmackDown talking about how good it felt to win the title on Monday and how it was it so great to win on his daughter's birthday. Reigns says he doesn't think he has many days left in WWE. Sheamus interrupts and says he's happy for Roman, pointing out how it's been longer than 5 minutes and 15 seconds. Sheamus says it won't be much longer until he wins the title back. "You look stupid" chants break out. Sheamus tells them to respect the hawk. Sheamus says there is an investigation going on in regards to Reigns and he can't fight or make any appearances, or be in this building tonight. Roman says to come and make him leave. Security guards come out and Reigns destroys them.* Ryback vs. WWE United States Champion Alberto Del Rio is next in a good back and forth non-title match. Ryback hits the Meathook and goes for Shellshocked but Rusev, Sheamus and King Barrett interfere. Del Rio takes advantage and hits the cross armbreaker on Ryback for the win. After the match, the League of Nations beats Ryback down. Sheamus hits a Brogue Kick and Rusev puts him in The Accolade.* The Lucha Dragons vs. The New Day is advertised for later. There's a backstage segment with Tyler Breeze and Summer Rae talking about his match with Titus O'Neil. Goldust creeps around from behind and Summer sprays hairspray in his mouth.* Titus O'Neil defeated Tyler Breeze with Clash of the Titus. Goldust came down during the match and sat with Summer in her VIP section. Goldust was taking selfies with Breeze's selfie stick and distracted him with it, leading to Titus getting the win.* Backstage segment with Dean Ambrose talking about the beatdown he got from Kevin Owens on RAW.* They show highlights from TLC with the ECW Originals and The Wyatt Family. Bray Wyatt cuts a promo.* The Lucha Dragons defeated The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) in a non-title match. Sin Cara and Kalisto controlled early. Big E tried to play the trombone but it wouldn't work. Woods distracted the referee and Big pulled Cara off the apron at one point. Cara came back in and dived onto Woods and Big E. Kalisto grabbed Kofi from the corner and rolled him up for the win.* Backstage segment with Dolph Ziggler talking about Kevin Owens.* Becky Lynch defeated Brie Bella by submission. Team BAD came out during the match with "unity" signs. They took seats behind the announcers and the "we want Sasha" chants started up. WWE Divas Champion Charlotte comes out and trips Brie while Becky has the referee distracted. Becky then gets the win.* Backstage segment with Charlotte and Becky. Becky doesn't think Charlotte thinks she can win on her own.* Dolph Ziggler defeated Kevin Owens by DQ in the main event when Owens threw him over the announce table. Owens dominated most of the match and went for a pop-up powerbomb at one point but Ziggler countered with Sweet Chin Music. Owens kicked out and then they went to the floor and the DQ happened. Ziggler came back but Owens threw him into the steel steps. Owens went to powerbomb Ziggler into the steps but Dean Ambrose came out and they brawled. Owens escaped and walked away. Ziggler was being helped to the back by referees when Owens superkicked him. Ambrose chased Owens to the stage and they had a staredown. Ambrose checked on Ziggler but Ziggler superkicked Ambrose. Owens laughed at them both as SmackDown goes off the air with both Ambrose and Ziggler down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabremike Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Show was eh. The finishes were bad beyond belief, particularly the main event. There was an audible groan when the ref signaled for the DQ. Crowd was in the 5,000 range. Also they did a presale for Payback in May at Pru. Think it's also online but didn't get the code. Got my tixs at the box office afterwards and they were only selling downstairs and cheapest was $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 And Breeze was called up because...? No wonder Finn thinks being called up would be a detriment to his career. Who wants to deal with this level of bullshit. And it's at this point that I kind of wish SmackDown! were it's own brand again, especially with Mauro coming in and saying that SD! is going to be a hybrid of Raw and NXT, whatever the hell that means.

Overly Critical Man Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Yeah, Breeze being a JTTS on the main roster is so much more of a detriment to his career than when he was being a JTTS on NXT. Seriously, this isn't the wrestler to point at if you're talking about someone being misused in his role. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I want a Breeze/Goldust match yesterday. Well, they've got Titus and Stardust doing some sort of angle, and Breeze and Goldust doing something that's probably building to a match between some people, and whatever the Miz/ Neville deal is... is this just making sure they have personality spots for the flat bit in the middle of the Rumble? Or are they throwing together a bunch of random tag teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 God, the League of Nations is the worst name for an international heel stable but holy shit is that a great roster. Claudio needs to reclaim his Swiss heritage and sign up with that clique. The name for Titus's finisher is fucking awesome but why is Tyler Breeze jobbing this soon?

mattdangerously Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 The name for Titus's finisher is fucking awesome but why is Tyler Breeze jobbing this soon? Because that's all he's ever been. It's not like he had some Goldbergian undefeated streak in NXT. Why is anyone surprised that he's not winning on the main roster? He's never been protected.

You'd at least hope he'd get a little push before going back to being jobbed into oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Man Breeze is dead. I know people will say he was never going to be a main eventer, but he's become Bo Dallas 2.0 in record time. It's one thing for the Ascension or Adam Rose to be booked like this, but Breeze is a great talent, and was clearly comfortable working big matches in NXT. This type of booking kills him for the main roster audience, and his NXT fan base. Breeze did lose a lot in NXT but he lost in competitive matches, and always got his heat back with a promo or an attack. I would 10 to 1 rather see Breeze work Zayn in his return match tonight than see him be a job boy on Smackdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeball Wizard Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think Breeze will be fine, eventually. Anybody can be rebuilt if they want to put in the effort. It's just disappointing to see a new face elevated to such a cold roster and become their whipping boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 It's not like he lost clean. He might have had the advantage in the match when Goldust distracted him. This is to set up a feud which he will probably win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, this isn't the wrestler to point at if you're talking about someone being misused in his role. Titus O'Niell isn't a star. This would be the equivalent of losing to Mojo on NXT, which would never have happened. He's gone from JTTS to straight J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonteCarl Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just like how everybody complained about how The Wyatts won a "squash" elimination match leading up to the Survivor Series because they "jobbed" the Lucha Dragons and the Prime Time Players, I think we should wait to see how Breeze actually loses when the match airs before starting to complain about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 One I think. He gets jobber intro'd like crazy too. Mike Zeidler put it best that Kevin Dunn has NO interest in working with Breeze's gimmick, so one of the unique aspects of the character is already gone because Dunn can't work with anything that isn't a wrestler walking to the middle of the stage, posing and then walking down the middle of the ramp.
