Cesaro and Big E are scheduled for a match, but he tosses Big E all over the place. Cesaro hits him with a chair and then throws him into the steel steps. If anything, this gave us more of an aggressive and wild Cesaro. We have seen flashes of it, but not enough. If WWE is going to build the Battle Royal with inner feuds, I am okay with this one. Cesaro has been booked in multiple ways and he needs to do something more important. It looks like he is 4th on the wheel for younger guys hitting the main event level. All that I want is for WWE to book him consistently and finding the right feud.
Score: 5/10
AJ Lee defeated Eva Marie
Eva Marie could really be a good heel, when he learns the ropes in the ring. I feel like she is more of a liability in the ring than anything else right now. She has a natural heel look to her. AJ Lee seems to be the face champion now, even if Paige is waiting to get her title back. Nothing to note here besides AJ Lee getting a quick workout in the ring.
Score: 3/10
Rusev and Swagger Continue Their Feud
Lana and Zeb talk back and forth about USA. Zeb talks about the history of the USA and Russia. Zeb asks who invented the internet or the automobile? He says the only thing Russia invented was Vodka. Swagger and Rusev look face to face and Rusev retreats.
I do not know what exactly it is, but I love this. Zeb and Lana are so good playing off of one another and Swagger is a brute. Rusev and Swagger could have some really good matches and they need to credit their mouthpieces for making this feud interesting on more than one level.
Score: 7/10
Dean Ambrose defeated Randy Orton via Disqualification
Orton begins the match by taking Ambrose down and really focusing on his lower body. Ambrose gets in control with a suicide dive and then throws Orton into the barricade. Ambrose hits a massive clothesline and looks to finish off Orton. Instead, Orton tries to hit a hanging DDT, but Ambrose tosses him to the outside. Rollins hits Ambrose in the shoulder with his briefcase and they attack Ambrose. Roman Reigns makes his way out after Orton hits an RKO. Reigns hits a Superman Punch onto Orton. Smackdown ends with Reigns on top.
Logical and fun booking to end Smackdown. Look for a tag team match to be booked either on Raw or at Battleground. I really like how all three men have separate identites, but Ambrose and Reigns are still helping one another out. All three are stars and are going to be big for WWE in the years to come.
Score: 7.5/10
