He leaves it up to The Shield to name which member he will face tonight. * A new vignette for Los Matadores airs. * Segment with the Divas. AJ Lee talks with Alicia Fox and Aksana about Total Divas.

cool arrow Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 SmackDown ends with Orton standing over Bryan with the WWE Title. Because of course it does. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rows Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I guess her plan is to start a massive, awkward brawl during the match so she can sneak the victory. Either way, I don't think her promo really meant to have a point now. She wasn't really taking a stand moreso than trying to not defend her title against her biggest competition.

DylanWaco Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'm shocked this show ended with Bryan getting laid out and Randy Orton standing over him with the title 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 At least Bryan got a win first this time. It's getting monotonous. But with the Go-Home in Toronto monday night, I bet excrement meets fan soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 So WWE officials told Bryan not to come to the town hall meeting and he listened to them? Again, my biggest problem with this angle so far is that Bryan is being reactive, not proactive. Hopefully, this storyline progresses when Bryan realizes that he can't continue to fight exclusively on HHH's terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Ryback speaks up and doesn't like being called a bully. My God I'm starting to love him. He's not even feuding with anyone. He's just like a free-range heel. ...like a big mean Funaki. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Bully Ryback is easily the most interesting he's been since Cornfed Meathead, if not ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Weird about the Kofi win. Starting to think they're switching the title at NOC with Orton/Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 At least he got the win over one of the shield before being blindsided (a clean win too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 He beat Rollins last week, too. Then he beat Ambrose and Reigns by DQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah, in fact I'm pretty sure he's beat everyone in the last few weeks, admittedly by DQ some of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'll probably watch this week for the latest Bryan/Rollins match. Orton standing over Bryan every week is approaching "running joke" territory, but I don't know why they'd change it up on SD. I figure they'll do that on Raw in Toronto.

Overly Critical Man Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 If it sticks...is AJ/Aksana/Alicia Fox possibly the worst stable ever? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORELOCK Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Finally dropping out of Smackdown this week, since they will just re-do every match and angle on Raw so they clearly don't want me watching both shows. Kofi getting a pointless win over the Intercontinental champion who is being built up as a challenger to Punk is much, much more aggravating to me than whatever sky-is-falling bullshit the detractors of the Bryan angle are mad about.

DreamBroken Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Kofi can only go so long without a title in his endless IC/US/Tag rotation.. maybe Punk costs Axel a title match on Raw so the IC title can still be defended at Night of Champs or at least the preshow.

goc Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Bully Ryback is easily the most interesting he's been since Cornfed Meathead, if not ever. I haven't been more annoyed at a random news blurb than the one I read the other day about WWE preparing some new Ryback merchandise for when he's "finished" with his Bully character. WHAT!? Even that stupid "Ryback Rules" thing works with his new Bully character. He's the perfect wrestling version of Biff Tannen meets the O'Doyles.

Ziggy Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 At least my girl Alicia gets some shine even though its weird that Aksana are casted along AJ as the serious wrestlers. He and Natalya match up well against each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rows Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 At least my girl Alicia gets some shine even though its weird that Aksana are casted along AJ as the serious wrestlers. Thats not the story at all. Its pretty clear AJ is either just using them so she can have numbers, or that her promo was bullshit in the reason she didn't want to wrestle those other girls. This isn't some 'wrestlers vs models' revolution story, and I don't think that was ever the intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w. josh Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 It's pretty sad that Ambrose's US Title reign has to be considered a success not because he's had a ton of good singles matches or elevated the title, but simply because he doesn't constantly drop pinfalls in non-title matches.

Greggulator Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 So WWE officials told Bryan not to come to the town hall meeting and he listened to them? Hasn't everyone been griping about Bryan walking into no-lose situations and looking dumb as a result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't some 'wrestlers vs models' revolution story, and I don't think that was ever the intent. They've used AJ as sort of this mastermind for a while now. She managed to manipulate both Bryan and Punk to do her bidding during their love triangle. She also managed to cost Cena a match against Dolph.
