Smackdown
April Week 3
Cleveland,OH
The show starts with the music of Dean Ambrose and he comes down to the ring....
Dean:For the past few weeks I've had to listen to Bray Wyatt run his mouth talking about trust,how we are both crazy, and how he's going to destroy me. Well now it's time I respond. Look Bray I don't care what the hell you say because your words will just become nothing when we finally meet at Extreme Rules in two weeks. Listen close...I am going to kick your a- (lights go out and when they come on Bray,Luke Harper and Erik Rowan are standing on the outside of the ring.)
Bray leans over and says something to Luke who gets in the ring and the first match gets under way.
Match 1: Dean Ambrose vs. Luke Harper
Dean really takes it to Luke to start the match with his brawling style of offense. Hitting Harper with punches and headbutts, even digging Luke's head into the ring mat at one point. Luke gets back into the back after reversing a suplex by Dean and rolling him around on the ground with a Gator roll. The match then slowed to a back and forth pace with both men exchanging reversals. This was a really good match to kick off the show as numerous close pinfalls were exchanged and at one point after a huge DDT by Ambrose, Harper was busted open!! Bray and Erik finally got involved, Erik distracted the ref while Bray threw a chair into the ring. Luke grabbed it leveled Ambrose with it just as the ref turned around in time to see it. The Wyatts then left the ring with Bray smiling his creepy smile.
Winner by DQ: Dean Ambrose
We now see Renee Young standing by with Roman Reigns...
Renee: Roman last time you and Seth Rollins clashed on Smackdown he walked out of your match. Tonight you face him again, do you have a plan to keep him from walking out again?
Roman: Renee the only plan I have to keep him from walking out is to whoop his ***. When I'm done with him, he may not even make it to Extreme Rules in two weeks and Triple H will have to just give me the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Match 2: Bo Dallas vs. Jack Swagger
As Jack Swagger is waiting in the ring Bo Dallas comes to the ring with a mic in his hand....
Dallas: What happened Jack? You used to be someone, a man of the people I believe. What was that thing “We the people”? Well tonight, you and everyone here will be saying “We.... Bo-lieve”!
Bo starts off strong in this match getting in a lot of offense. After a leg sweep that takes Swagger down, Dallas goes out of the ring and runs around the ring yelling “Bo-lieve in me everyone” to that the fans boo loudly. Swagger gets his bearings and cuts off Swagger on the outside and finally gets in offense of his own throwing Bo into the barricade and doing his “We the people” chant with the crowd. Dallas gets up and fires back with offense of his own on the outside. Swagger is down and Bo gets back in the ring taunting Jack. Swagger gets back in the ring at the six count but Bo hits the Bo Dazzler on Swagger and to his frustration it is kicked out of at two. The match came to an end shortly after that when Dallas hit a Butterfly DDT for the pinfall victory. After the match Dallas continues his tradition of taking a victory lap to loud boos from the fans.
Winner by pinfall: Bo Dallas
The scene cuts to Stardust in a dark room with lights all around him...
Stardust: My brother, I have seen my future in the stars and you are not in it at all. It is time for you to leave this world and let me take over. If you won't leave peacefully I guess I will have to do it....forcefully!
Match 3: Cesaro & Tyson Kidd vs. The New Day (Kofi & Big E)
Another exciting tag team match between these two teams as they get ready for their Extreme Rules Title match. Plenty of high spots in this one including Cesaro swinging Kofi into Big E as he tried to break it up. The match came to an end when Xavier distracted Tyson again on the outside and Big E planed Cesaro with the Big Ending and won by pinfall.
Winners by pinfall: The New Day
The scene cuts to Seth Rollins talking to Triple H in his office...
Seth:Hunter I don't understand why I have to face Roman one on one before our title match. It doesn't make sense.
Triple H:Look Seth this all comes with the territory of having that title. I don't want you to seem weak because I hand picked you to be the guy alright? You must put on a show for these fans because that is what's best for business. Go out there tonight and show Roman, and the whole world why you are the guy.
Seth:Oh you know I won't let you down. There's a reason you picked me above anyone else.
Match 4: Fandango vs. Stardust
Goldust attacked Stardust on his way to the ring,landing blows to the back of his head before tossing him in the ring.
One would think that after an attack like that by Goldust that Fandango would be able to pick up the easy win. But Stardust was not having any of it. Despite Fandango hitting a Reverse STO, when he went for the pin Stardust was near the ropes to break the count. Stardust then found his second wind and got angry, showing a more vicious side to his normal weird nature. He planted Fandango with Dark Matter and that ended the match.
Winner by pinfall: Stardust
Main Event:Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns
This match started off with Seth offering his hand for a handshake but Roman did not fall for the trick as he popped Rollins in the face. Seth returned with a punch of his own. The match then spilled outside the ring and both men lit each other up on the outside using the barricade, ring apron, steel ring post and even the entrance ramp to do damage to each other. Both guys got back in the ring at the count of eight and then the match entered high gear. Seth got in some offense including a sequence where he hit a Shiranui, School Boy Superkick, and a Pedigree which made Roman bleed! That did not keep him down because Roman was able to kick out at two!
Seth then went up top and connected with a Frog Splash, then instead of pinning Reigns, he went up again for the Phoenix Splash but Reigns moved out of the way. Roman crawled to the corner as Seth was down and set up for the Superman Punch which connected flush with Seth's face! But Seth kicked out at 2.9! Both guys are clearly tired at this point as they are slow to get up. Roman whips Seth into the ropes, throws him into the air and hits a Spear on Seth, the ref counts to three but he did not see Seth's hand on the rope so Roman gets the victory! The show goes off the air with a bloody Roman celebrating and Seth arguing with the referee.
Winner by pinfall: Roman Reigns
