Smackdown Spoilers: May 31st

SlickRic

Kane b Seth Rollins with a choke slam

Roman Reigns b Daniel Bryan via DQ. Kane interfered and punched Reigns. Bryan was mad at Kane for costing him the match and they argued.

Damien Sandow did an interview. He said that Edmonton was the place that gave away Wayne Gretzky for nothing. Sheamus came out. They went back and forth until Sheamus laid him out with a Brogue kick.

Ryback b Kofi Kingston in a quick squash. Ryback put Kingston through three different tables and Kingston went out on a stretcher.

Big E Langston b Alberto Del Rio to tie their best of 99 series at 2-2. Langston won when A.J.'s attempt to help him didn't backfire.

Curtis Axel b Sin Cara with the fisherman suplex

Chris Jericho b Cody Rhodes with the Walls of Jericho. Good match.

Randy Orton b Dean Ambrose via DQ. Very good match. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins interfered. Daniel Bryan & Kane made the save.

Rollins pinned. fúck off.

Sandow jobbed out again.

Two of The Shield losing too. I know it was DQ, but... still.

Lord TSC

See, they're champions now, guys. That's how it works.

Ando's Saggy Bottom

They don't have to be invincible as individuals tbh as long as the collective unit stays strong. Looks like its basically the Shield show which delights and still surprises me given the guys' backgrounds.

GTR63

Yeah i'd have them break up after their first defeat, which would be a long away all 3 would have to be over as individuals by that time.

Kofi out for a while so

Shame as I was enjoying his feud wuth Ambrose for the US title, who know for Ambrose to feud with?

Loughc

Knowning WWE they'll prob go with R-Truth, which would explain why he went over Antonio on Main Event this week.

A long series with Jericho could be great for him. They'd have great matches and Ambrose coming out in top would elevate him another level.

Christian is harder to find than a shiny Pokemon.
Truth beat Cesaro on Main Event guess he's still in the ol Madra Teach.

DM_7

Cesaro beat Gabriel on Main Event

was it superstars, haven't watched that yet?

Also Christian is not worth getting excited about, he will be back and injured again within a few weeks of his return.

:eek: Blasphemy

Ryback should wear a beret instead of a skull cap he'd look a lot like a Team Rocket grunt then.

Mr.Saturn

Daniel Bryan there, looking like an absolute beast. The kick-up was a hell of a nice touch.

Lord TSC

Just watched the ending but WOW.

When was the last time we saw a face get such a reaction!

DM_7

It was fantastic, especially when the Shield are normally unstoppable so made it even more impactful.

Rollins selling is great, Ambrose also.

Special mention for Del Rio's German

Ando's Saggy Bottom

Orton looking at D Bry at the end there thinking "Sh*t, remember when I was over like this."

Dare I say it with the likes of Bryan and the Shield in the spotlight like this we could be on the cusp of another Smackdown 6 type era? They are making TV must-see these days.

rossie1977

bryan and all members of the shield are just knocking it out of the park week after week after week

glenjamin

I'd love to see a new Smackdown Six revolve around Bryan, The Shield, Sandow, and Rhodes.

But is he meant to be face now? Seems like they're trying to turn him heel with him losing his temper with Kane and all. It's strange. I'm confused.

So by taking out The Shield by himself Bryan just proved he's better than Cena, HHH, Sheamus, Ryback, Orton and the rest.

And how could Sheamus miss Sandow pocketing the ball?

DM_7

I don't think Bryan is being presented as anything other than a face. He always 'fought' with Kane!

Lord TSC

Yeah, I find he's one of those faces who acts all heelish but is obviously a face in how they book him against heels and based on crowd reaction.

Ando's Saggy Bottom

Im praying they put him over Kane when they eventually split and he gets another strong singles push. There's a lot of fresh feuds for him still at the top end of things.

Lord TSC

The way it's going, I don't necessarily see why they'd need to do Bryan vs Kane. If they keep Bryan face, the two could still remain friends, but simply move off to other things, with Bryan moving into a singles career to prove he's not the weak link.

I could get behind that, they are not blessed with that many main event babyfaces especially when you remember their is always talk of Orton turning.

Didn't Golddust just go their separate ways amicably?

connemara man

You know a wrestler is over when the smackdown crowd isnt a canned cheer. Randy Orton looked shocked at the cheers he was getting

Jester252

Not surprised at Kofi getting hurt, surprised it didn't happen sooner seen as he had a baby a few weeks ago.

Did anybody else have to read that sentence twice?

DM_7

Even though it was a short match I really liked Big E v Del Rio, Axel did well and good to see the perfect plex getting the win for him, Sandow was great with his in ring trickery. With the Shield and Bryan it was a very good Smackdown.

I also like that they are calling it the perfect plex and have done away with "the mcgillicutter!"

jaysus they had some awful names for him previously!
