WWE Smackdown
Oct. 18, 2013 - Kansas City, MO

-Vickie Guerrero and Brad Maddox kick off Smackdown and talk about Big Show costing The Shield their titles on Raw. Daniel Bryan comes out, and Vickie announces Big Show has been banned from the arena. (Which make sense, since he's fired...) A 6-man tag match is set up for the main event, and Bryan will team with the new champions to take on The Shield.

(1) Luke Harper & Erick Rowan def. The Miz & Kofi Kingston. Bray Wyatt was on the ramp in his rocking chair.

(2) Brie Bella def. WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee in a non-title match

-Big Show comes out through the fans and says he's filled a lawsuit against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon (wrongful termination?). Brad Maddox comes out, and Show hits him with the KO Punch after he says he's got nothing left to lose.

(3) CM Punk def. Big E Langston

(Note: One commenter on Wrestlezone claims that after this match, Heyman came out and tried to talk down Punk's victory, saying Big E isn't really that good. Ryback and Axel then attacked Punk, leading to Big E making the save and clearing the ring).

-Alberto del Rio is interviewed by Josh Matthews about his World Heavyweight Championship match at Hell in a Cell. John Cena appears on the Titantron, and del Rio freaks out and attacks Josh.

(4) The Usos def. The Real Americans. Los Matadores and El Torito come out and distract Swagger and Cesaro, giving the Usos the win. Looks like the long-awaiting feud between the two teams has finally started.

(5) Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes & Goldust def. The Shield

If Big Show is fired AND banned from the building, how did he cut a promo

This is what I am glad to see - Big E has BAGS of personality (and then some to spare) be a great face (especially that Ryback is Heel) - Give him his NXT 5 Count gimmick and let him run!!

Could you say 'no access' to that face?

Nope Hornswoggle is fat and getting fatter and was never that athletic:

It is the highly regard Mascarita Dorada from Mexico. He was in NXT since April.

However Hornswoggle was down at NXT over the Summer learning how to do moves with El Tortio. With Hornswoggle being the base - the person who catches and tosses the flying wrester safely. In Mexican wrestling the base is normally the bad guy.

(2) Brie Bella def. WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee in a non-title match

What exactly was the point of that? Surely thats the match they will be having at HIAC? Just like the tag title match on Raw, why give them away so close to the PPV.

I'd guess since Brie lost to Tamina on Raw she needs a win to justify getting the title shot

SimonQuinlank · 16-10-2013 10:49pm

Plus no one cares about the womens match when they think of ordering a PPV or not.

Do a tag match then? Nikki is cleared to wrestle so have Brie pin AJ in a tag instead of giving away the PPV match a week or two before hand. Same deal with the Raw main event. That should have happened on the PPV instead.

And they wonder why buy rates aren't that great.

Are BigE and Layla not part of AJ's crazy gang anymore?

And now BigE is face, maybe a push for him and feud with Curtis for the IC title

I was wondering about the Layla thing myself. They just seem to have forgotten about it and used Tamina instead.

Big E didnt really make any sense considering none of the other Diva's have guys with them. He cant really do much other than standing there. So long as they stay friends (for lack of a better term) I dont have a problem with Big E breaking away.

DM_7 · 18-10-2013 8:06pm

Layla and the other non total Divas turned on AJ didn't they?

I would like to see Punk have CM Punk guys for a while if he is injured as per the usual rumours!

In saying that, the after match antics with Punk made Big E look great on his own'

Layla stayed with her, but wasnt all bff with her. Was under the impression they were still supposed to be friends.

Assuming we're talking about the same segment.

CastorTroy · 18-10-2013 9:52pm

Yeah was great to see Big E back on tv and hopefully will be getting pushed as a face.

I find it funny that after all the Rhodes drama with everyone now knowing, if they didn't before, that Dustin and Cody are brothers, yet they're still announced as being from different places.

After watching that video, I doubt we'd see hornswoggle move even half that speed. I'm wondering who they could let him go like that on. I'd say Cesaro would be a good match for him and be able to keep him going as long as he needs

El Torito was actually in the WWE years ago. He faced off against Max Mini at In Your House: Ground Zero

Quality bit of trivia!

And the 1998 Royal Rumble too I just read.

[x] Turn Big E face
[x] Give him a feud

Now all they need to do is to give him a mic and let him go toe-to-toe with Heyman. It really could be so much fun. WWE won't do it, though.

"OH, OH I got the mic now!"
