Note: Well this is suppose to be the first show from WWE of 2014 but this was taped before the last WWE Raw of 2013. So technically, WWE Raw on Monday will be the first official show from WWE. One of my biggest dreams of 2014 when it comes to WWE and Smackdown is to either get a new channel or do something more original to be a different show. I know I am asking a lot to change stations because to me, Syfy isn't a wrestling station. Even people who watch Syfy ask why is WWE putting a show on this channel. Put it on USA or any other NBC/Universal channel. Or give this show to ION so we can see a WWE TV show on regular TV. So anyways, this is going to be an interesting show because we won't see Daniel Bryan come out with the Wyatt Family or see Cena/Orton. So let's get WWE Smackdown started and over with...
Match#1: Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns vs. The Usos
Winners: The Usos by DQ
(This was a good match until Dean Ambrose got involved. However, this will set up the main event of the night. What's funny is that even before this match got started, I knew this was going to be pointless but to set up the end. Also what upset me is that we get teased a break up from The Shield but we have to wait a while longer to see them implode. This was still a good match. The Usos are only getting this push because one of them is dating a girl from the Divas show. Moving on...)
Match#2: R-Truth vs. Fandango
Winner: R-Truth
(This was boring. I actually changed to see a college bowl game. Also will someone please to me Xavier Woods? Is he suppose to be the new dancing fool in WWE. Is this why Brodus turn heel and thinks he is a main event player? Moving on...)
Match#3: Goldust and Cody Rhodes vs. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper
Winners: Goldust and Cody Rhodes
(This had no Bray Wyatt and no Daniel Bryan. This was the best match of the night. This was both great and should be a template to show what WWE Tag Teams can be in 2014. I watch this all the way through. I will admit that seeing Goldust is back to how he was back in the day. Cody was on fire. Even Rowan and Harper showed that without Bray Wyatt, they can actually be seen as a team. Good match and should be a possibility for match of the year candidate. )
Match#4: Nikki Bella vs. Aksana
Winner: Nikki Bella
(I changed channels because seeing her or her sister makes me change channels. These bitches are the reason why the title is irrelevant. AJ Lee is basically doing a CM Punk with her title but is overshadowed by a reality TV show with these women who cannot wrestle and cannot act fake. Moving on...)
Match#5: Big E. Langston vs. Curtis Axel
Winner: Big E. Langston
(I have seen this match over and over last year. We know how this will end. So time to end the show with The Best In The World.....)
Main Event: CM Punk and The Usos vs. The Shield
Winners: CM Punk and The Usos
(I am not going to nitpick this match because it was a good match and also because it does setup something for the PPV. CM Punk is going to be busy with The Shield hopefully until Royal Rumble. I will just say this was one of their better matches. Time to end the review. )
Final Thoughts: Basically this show was taped before WWE Raw came on. So to be honest, it was very rushed to me. Especially while watching the main event you can tell what they had to add to the show. I wish I could say this was a good show but this was not the official show for 2014. This week should be a better week for both TNA and WWE just remember that 2014 has to be better than 2013 or we might see more SSDD from WWE and TNA. See you all for WWE Raw.
