Smackdown “Bit the Bullet” report 10/22
Kane arranged for Seth to begin the night taking on Cesaro. Ces dominated the first half of the match, and Seth looked like he was going to bail. He then reconsidered and returned. I wonder if Kane was taking a dump at the time and wasn’t available to provide roadblock service. Fun moment ensued with Cesaro doing the running uppercut on Seth outside and plowing him over the barricade. Then, the inevitable happened and Ces did the job. It brought to mind Ric Flair’s 15 minute matches with jobbers like George South.
Syfy flaked out on me and I missed about 15 minutes, but I got back on in time for Miz TV with his guests Dolph Ziggler and Summer Rae. Miz said that Zig was the number 2 Horn Dog (behind Miz of course) and treated Summer Rae like dirt. Summer then wanted to make amends with Zig, but he said “Look, I’m just not that into you.” Summer laughed and said “Oh no, I’m just letting you know I found somebody else!” LOOK EVERYBODY! <GASP!> IT’S TYLER!
Yes, Prince Pretty came strutting out and they did the closeup of his face as he arched his Brow of Beauty. The venues’ acoustics were out of whack though, and his theme music sounded warped. Nevertheless, Tyler got his cocky upstart moment. He snidely remarked how Zig looked like something from the 80’s, and Dolph replied with “You know, you millennials think you’re entitled to everything.” So, PP popped him and threw him throat first into the Selfie Stick of Doom.
More Divas drama: Paige came out to insist she didn’t do anything wrong, and Charlotte and Becky Lynch said “nuh uh!” That Irish brogue of Becky’s makes my knees weak. <giggle> Then the Bellas came out and mocked them. Paige challenged one of the Bellas to a match. I don’t remember how it came out. It was just a Total Divas hook anyway.
Barrett and Sheamus (with Rusev) took on the Lucha Dragons. The LDs didn’t have their entrance shown, so you know they’re going to lose. Nevertheless, they put on a nice action-packed match, and Rusev saved one of his comrades from a suicide dive, and Sheamus got the Brogue Win. Wonder if they’re going to stick with these three as a coalition? They seem to have decent chemistry with each other, but we’ve already got so many heel stables.
Final event, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns took on New-hoo Day-hee w/o Xavier Woods. No ringside chatter, no Trombone of Doom. Big E and Kofi were wearing black armbands with XW stitched on them. At one point, ND tried to do the Seth bail, but the Dudleyz cockblocked them. Later, Super Reigns wins. Bray appears on the Titantron and says “Welcome to Hell.”
DEPP!
