* WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns kicked off SmackDown to a big reaction, mostly boos. Reigns cuts a promo similar to RAW, about how he's "THE" guy, not good or bad. AJ Styles comes out to a big pop and they trade promos. Reigns talks down to AJ and leaves the ring with AJ looking on. Styles and Cesaro vs. Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho is announced

* The Vaudevillains vs. Sin Cara and WWE United States Champion Kalisto is first. Good pop for Aiden English and Simon Gotch for the entrance but the match felt like a Superstars taping. Kalisto took the pin after a double team. The Vaudevillains celebrated after the match

The Dudley Boyz ran down and attacked AJ in the ring until Roman Reigns made the save. AJ and Reigns cleared the ring and stared each other down. They shook hands, still staring at each other, to end the show

Weekend push is officially over, can we now fire that man?

Emma vs Becky!? YES!

* Dean Ambrose squashed Tyler Breeze. Huge pop for Ambrose. After the match, Chris Jericho came out for the next match and they traded looks on the ramp
I bet there was no explanation as to why he was missing from RAW

This led to AJ rolling a distracted Owens up for the win. After the match, Owens went at Sami on the floor and laid him out.

ha, i figured this was going to be the case, it feels so similar to Bryan vs Reigns from Fastlane, just a program to get someone get a great match out of Roman and then get the 'you're legit' from the indie favorite

My question is why the Dudley Boyz spoke about Roman Reigns...? And why were they running in on AJ!?

Here's an idea why not talk about Enzo and Cass who interrupted you and metaphorically handed your asses to you on Monday with a promo! Why not continue that train!?

Why not challenge these young upstarts to a match or something??

Fuck sake.

If you're going to show something, give us the damn pay off!



On that train, I bet we never find out what's in the white envelope from the Shane McMahon lock box.

Fuck fuck fuck.

Reigns talks down to AJ and leaves the ring with AJ looking on.

Hey guys, we're going to get our top guy over by having him talk down to the guy the fans love.

Yeah, smart...

I don't think that was the idea.
