WWE SmackDown opened with Miz TV.
The Miz's guests were Big Show and
Randy Orton. Miz talked up
Randy Orton
and Big Show's upcoming match at Extreme Rules. Show trash-talked
Orton. Orton talked about his decision to trust Big Show backfiring. He
said this Sunday he will right that wrong.
Jack Swagger and Zeb Coulter interupt and come out. They talk about how this Sunday they will make
Alberto Del Rio say "I Quit" or as they would say in his language, "No Mas."
Alberto Del Rio
came out and said the only thing people will remember this Sunday is
that Del Rio became the number one contender. He called Coulter
"Jumanaji Man."
Mark Henry came out and talked about setting a world record for pulling
semis. He said this Sunday people will remember him for beating
Sheamus because he's the strongest man in the world.
Sheamus then came out and promised to leave Henry battered and bruised with welts this Sunday.
Sheamus then said why wait until this Sunday and took a strap and chased the heels away.
1. Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns defeated The Uso's. The Shield won
after a Reigns spear. They were setting up one of the Usos for the
triple power bomb when Kofi Kingston made the save. He hit the Shield
with a chair and the Shield ran off.
Kofi and the Usos gave a promo, I think for the
WWE App, about overcoming the Shield.
Back from break, Teddy Long entered. He said after the last segment he
was ready for Extreme Rules. He set up tonight's six-man main event:
Henry, Show and Swagger vs. Orton,
Sheamus and Del Rio.
2. Brodus Clay and Sweet T (w/Cameron, Naomi) beat The Prime Time
Players. Titus O'Neil cut an entertaining promo. He mispronounced
Wichita and said real Prime Time Players went to Kansas University. The
PTPers were in control early and Titus did his patented seal chant.
Darren Young missed a running attempt in the corner and Tensai tagged in
Brodus. Titus broke up a pin attempt, then Young got sandwiched by the
big boys. Brodus hit a splash for the win.
3.
Chris Jericho
defeated Antonio Cesaro in 12:00. Fans chanted boring as Cesaro started
in control at a slow pace. Jericho got them further on his side with a
dropkick that forced Cesaro to regroup at ringside. Cesaro hit an
upper-cut and some chops but got another drop kick from Jericho from the
middle rope. Jericho reversed a suplex then hit the signature dropkick
from the middle rope to the excitement of fans. Jericho missed a corner
splash and vaulted out of the ring. Fans cheered him on as he recovered
but Cesaro went back on the attack, throwing Jericho into the barricade.
Back in the ring, he got a two-count on the dazed Jericho. Jericho went
for the walls of jericho but Cesaro struggled away. Cesaro lifted his
knees on Jericho's moonsault attempt to regain momentum. The
back-and-forth continued as Jericho got a near-fall. Jericho managed to
barely kick out of a backbreaker. Jericho fought back from a sleeper and
rolled up Cesaro for a two count. Cesaro earned his own 2-count
immediately after and put the headlock back on. A weakened Jericho
struggled to fight back and was taken down again. Jericho tried to break
the headlock by backing Cesaro into the ropes but was unsuccessful. He
finally broke free and scored an axe-handle from the top rope.
Fandango's gold stage setup fell in front of the Titan Tron but Jericho
was oblivious. He attempted a top-rope move but was hit by the upper-cut
for another near fall. Jericho put on the Walls of Jericho and Cesaro
tapped out.
Summer Rae entered with Fandango seemingly closely behind. Jericho
watched the stage but was attacked from behind. He quickly got the best
of Fandango, who ran off, then Jericho hit Cesaro with a Codebreaker...
Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger were on the Tron for a prerecorded promo.
Colter ranted against the government from a conservative standpoint,
touching on shady IRS activities and the Benghazi situation. Colter
blasted Del Rio and said he wasn't one of us. Colter questioned whether
Ziggler was really injured or just afraid. He said he and Swagger were
vilified for speaking the truth. He said real Americans never quit, but
Del Rio would. He said Del Rio would quit, take his sombrero, and run
back home. Swagger finished it off with "we the people"...
Sandow gave a promo from the stage about Miz and how his winning would
come to a screeching halt and that Rhodes would embarrass him on
Sunday...
4.
The Miz defeated Damien Sandow. Miz made his entrance to a healthy applause.
Cody Rhodes
was on commentary. Sandow cowered at an attempted punch and rolled out
of the ring, but Miz followed and nailed him. Back in the ring, Sandow
gained the upper hand. Rhodes took the live mic and said fans should
stand up and show respect for Sandow. Miz came back and grabbed the win.
5.
WWE
Divas Champion Kaitlyn defeated Aksana. Aksana entered to cat calls
from the crowd. Where were those for Cameron? Kaitlyn received a strong
babyface reaction from fans who aren't shallow enough to root for the
hotter diva just because she's hotter. Well done, Wichita. Aksana got in
a couple moves, including a slingshot against the ropes. She taunted
Kaitlyn and earned boos. Aksana was dominating for a while. A ridiculous
"we want puppies" chant broke out. Aksana still dominating...waiting
for this to turn around...still waiting...botched move...still
waiting...redid the botch...Kaitlyn hits the spear for the win. Longer
than normal Divas match, about 5-6 minutes.
6.
Randy Orton,
Sheamus, and
Alberto Del Rio
beat Mark Henry, Big Show, and Jack Swagger (w/Zeb Colter) in a six-man
tag. Lilian introduced Ricardo Rodriguez in Spanish, and Rodriguez
introduced Del Rio in English. Ricardo was with bucket.
Sheamus
followed, then Orton before the heel team came out individually.
Swagger and Del Rio started the match. Del Rio started hot, got Swagger
to the corner and tagged in Orton. Swagger clipped...
