Note: This is the show before the PPV this weekend. We usually get mostly recaps and also SSDD matches from WWE Raw. I do expect more seeing that this is the PPV that will set up SummerSlam. So we will see some moves and also some good things. Also it is a good thing that WWE loves to promote the hell out of their PPVs because to me, this PPV should have been nixed and the MITB should be back on Wrestlemania. Here's WWE Smackdown.
Match#1: Daniel Bryan vs. Christian
Winner: Daniel Bryan
(I loved the match because this is a good test to see if Christian is back to 100%. Also this is a good way to showcase the epic rise to Daniel Bryan. I love that this was the starting match because this does not have any heat with it. These guys are the underdogs in the MITB match. Both men were champion but for short amounts of time. However, the ending pissed me off. I think it is fucked up that Christian is jobbing. Good match but shitty ending. )
Match#2: Seth Rollins vs. Jey Uso
Winner: Seth Rollins
(This was a squash match. We all know that The Usos are in the WWE because they are some kin to Snuka, Rikishi, or The Rock. As for Rollins, this was just a warm up match before the PPV. So, moving on. )
Match#3: Chris Jericho vs. Curtis Axel
Winner: Chris Jericho by Count Out
(This was karma in action. Curtis Axel won matches by countout. He was perfect. Now he is not. Thank you Y2J for this short match. Also WWE needs to do more with the IC and US titles. Make them important not bullshit. )
Match#4: Ryback vs. The Miz
Winner: Ryback
(Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......)
Teddy Long comes out for a contract signing. He's got Cameron, Naomi, Aksana, Layla, Alicia Fox and Natalya with him. Big E
Langston is out first with AJ Lee followed by Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn and AJ talk trash to each other but sign the contract. AJ
reveals texts from Kaitlyn talking trash about Natalya and The Great Khali. A catfight breaks out. Kaitlyn slaps Big E and
spears AJ.
(This is a rare treat to see women signing a contract for the title. This was a groundbreaking segment. I loved that they showed basically the entire Divas division in one ring. My god, WWE needs more women. Good ending because Kaitlyn damn near killed AJ and slapped the shit out of Big E. Langston. )
Match#5: Fandango vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: Fandango
(Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......)
Match#6: Alberto Del Rio vs. Sin Cara
Winner: No Contest/Never Started
The match never starts because Dolph Ziggler, dressed as Sin Cara, attacks Del Rio and beats him up.
(Best non match ever!!!!!!!!! I loved that Ziggler just made Sin Cara cool again. Sin Cara would not have done half the shit Ziggler did in his costume. Good build up to the WHC title match. At least there is some build up. )
Main Event: Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Sheamus by DQ
(Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......Boring.......)
After the match: Christian comes out and sets up a ladder in the middle of the ring. Christian and Sheamus brawl on the ladder. Orton hits a RKO on Bryan. Orton climbs the ladder and retrieves the briefcase. SmackDown goes off the air with Orton standing tall on top of the ladder.
(This was more exciting that the fucking match. WTF!)
Final Thoughts: Well as we gear up for the Money In The Bank PPV, I sense there is going to be a lot of SSDD. We all know that the Raw portion of the PPV is top heavy. RVD is coming back. We will get a good replacement for Kane. Cena and Henry will be a good title match. However, Smackdown is trying to match the amount of superstars but it is lacking. We might get a better show from the guys from Smackdown. Hopefully, we will see if Ziggler can get the title back. So see you all for MITB PPV this weekend.
