victor Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Doesn't look like a bad show. * Roman Reigns kicks off SmackDown with a promo about Payback. Reigns gets a massive ovation when he comes out. He talks about losing at Payback and says he briefly had fun with The Shield again. Reigns says he’s entering Money In the Bank. Dean Ambrose interrupts and talks about MITB and says he’s going to defeat Seth Rollins at Elimination Chamber. Kane comes out and says The Authority always wins in the end. Kane says Reigns won’t be in MITB because he lost at Payback and WrestleMania. Kane announces Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt for tonight and gives Reigns the night off. * The Prime Time Players vs. Los Matadores vs. The Ascension vs. The Lucha Dragons is next. The New Day, Cesaro and Tyson Kidd are on commentary. Sin Cara and Kalisto get the win with a sick top rope move on one of the Matadores. This was said to be an excellent opening match. * Cesaro and Tyson Kidd vs. Los Matadores vs. The Ascension vs. The Lucha Dragons is next. The New Day and The Prime Time Players were on commentary. Sin Cara and Kalisto get the win with a sick top rope move on one of the Matadores. This was said to be an excellent opening match. * Dolph Ziggler is backstage with Renee Young. Lana appears with Ziggler and they flirt with each other. * Dolph Ziggler defeated King Barrett in another really good match. Lana looks on and cheers for Ziggler after the match. * Paige comes out to a huge pop and talks about how this is her house and how she is still #1 contender for the Divas Title. Naomi comes out with Tamina Snuka to talk trash. They jump Paige and out comes Nikki Bella for the save. * We get a creepy promo from Bray Wyatt. * R-Truth defeated Stardust. * Ryback talks to Renee Young backstage about how he will win the Intercontinental Title at Elimination Chamber. * The Meta Powers defeated Adam Rose and Heath Slater. * Renee interviews Bo Dallas but he gets the “what?” treatment. * Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt is next. J&J Security do the run-in and Seth Rollins is out next. Roman Reigns comes out for the save and Ambrose ends up getting the win with Dirty Deeds. This was said to be an excellent back and forth match. SmackDown ends with Ambrose staring down Rollins from the ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goc Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 God I hope they're not going do Reigns/Wyatt. That would be a good way for them to stop Reigns' MOTN PPV streak though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brysynner Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 But if Reigns can drag a MOTN out of Wyatt, he'd be way better at this wrestling thing than a lot of people thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 No because the people who are still acting like Reigns "sucks" will somehow twist it into "Bray Wyatt carried him" just like Big Show, Brock Lesnar & Daniel Bryan did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 So who does Reigns work that's good enough to have a MOTN with but sucks enough that no one believes they could carry him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggulator Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Bray and Roman had a debacle of a singles match right after the Shield/Wyatts EC thriller.That was a pretty long time ago, though. Roman didn't have a ton (or maybe any?) singles matches in the WWE by that point. Bray had a bunch, including that insanely good match against Bryan at the Royal Rumble (which was far from a carry job). But it was a bad match because of what it wasn't: A crazy brawl between the leaders of factions at war with each other. Instead, it was pretty much a regular match.It will be really interesting to see what their new match looks like when they finally pair up. I personally don't get the criticisms anyone has for either guy at this point. Reigns showed himself as one of the best tag workers in the world for about two years, was hurt, and then had to wrestle singles as a WWE babyface. No shit that takes some time to adjust. And he has and is probably in the two best matches of the year so far. Bray's also so friggin' good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know WWE can be repetitive (Look at the main event for Smackdown, for instance) but this is ridiculous! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 In reading other results - only the former match takes place (the one with Cesaro/Kidd in the match and PTP on commentary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 In reading other results - only the former match takes place (the one with Cesaro/Kidd in the match and PTP on commentary) I figured, it just me laugh that they would run the exact same match again, only this time with PTP on commentary.

NikoBaltimore Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I might be the only one, but there's worse things to put on WWE TV than back to back matches featuring some pretty awesome teams. I'm sure they'd make it work somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what planet was Reigns/Show motn over New Day/Cesaro,Kidd? This one. I'll take a good "Last Man Standing match with a big time feel" with two dudes beating the hell out of each other over a good tag match that's kinda meaningless (because of how many times they run the same tag matchups) A lot of other people felt the same way. I don't have any issue with people liking the tag match more though. I don't feel like one was way better than the other. They were both way better than the rest of the card though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Meaningless? It was for the belts! Tag matches don't get much more meaningful. Unless Teddy Long makes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Yea but even if you lose your tag title match you can get about 5 more chances before the champs move on to another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Even if it was just in a recap, it was pretty freaking cool to see Samoa Joe on Smackdown treated like a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
