    SmackDown opens with a recap of the segment with Triple H, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman on RAW.
    * Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. The Usos is up first. The Usos get the win after Axel gets pinned. It appeared Ryback was upset after the match and walked away, leaving Axel alone in the ring.
    * MizTV is next. The Miz comes out and it turns into an Intercontinental Title acceptance speech. His parents are in the crowd and he asks his mom who her favorite Superstar is. She says Roman Reigns to a big pop. Miz goes on bragging until Bo Dallas interrupts to another big pop. They both compliment each other until Dolph Ziggler comes out. Ziggler cuts a promo but Bo interrupts him and tells him to Bo-lieve. Bo then decks Ziggler with a mic.
    * Bo Dallas vs. Dolph Ziggler with The Miz on commentary is next. Ziggler hit a Fameasser at one point but Bo kicked out. The Miz distracted Dolph from ringside, allowing Bo to get the win with a roll-up. The Miz then attacks Dolph until Bo joins in and they double team him.
    * Backstage promo with Roman Reigns and Renee Young. Reigns took shots at Randy Orton and Alberto Del Rio.
    * Cesaro vs. Dean Ambrose in a No DQ match is next. Ambrose brings in a bunch of steel chairs. They brawled with kendo sticks and chairs throughout the match. This was described as a very "ECW-esque" match. Seth Rollins came out and attacked Ambrose. Ambrose gets the upperhand and throws Rollins through the timekeeper area. Ambrose comes back in but Cesaro hits a superplex on top of a pile of chairs. Cesaro goes for the pin but Ambrose counters with a roll-up for the win. Rollins comes in and beats Ambrose down after the match.
    * They sell the beatdown by having medics come out and check on Ambrose. They help Ambrose out of the ring and he gets a big pop going up the ramp.
    * We get promos for the AJ Lee vs. Paige feud and for John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.
    * Paige vs. Naomi is next. Paige comes out and skips like AJ Lee to mock her. Cameron comes down to watch the match from ringside. Paige wins by submission and after the match, Cameron comes in to attack Naomi.
    * Backstage segment with Goldust and Stardust.
    * Bray Wyatt defeated R-Truth. A chant for Chris Jericho broke out during the match. Wyatt cut a promo after the match and took shots at Jericho.
    * They aired more promos for the SummerSlam main event.* Alberto Del Rio vs. Roman Reigns is next. Del Rio gets no love from Florida fans. Reigns gets the win with a spear. SmackDown ends with Reigns celebrating.

    Cesaro vs. Dean Ambrose was more CZW-esque than ECW. Was pretty weird to see on a taped show. Smackdown is normally the domain of look chinlocks.

    Del Rio carried Reigns to a really good TV match.

    I like this version of Miz

    Its a pity he has to wrestle, he is awful dull in a match

    I have said for a good while now that I am NOT a fan of alberto del rio - find him boring as all hell but he had a great match with reigns, genuinely it was 'go out of your way to see it' good!

    I jus twish they used him properly (seeing as he is rumoured to be gone when his contract is up)

    Ambrose/Cesaro was an awesome match. Dat superplex :eek:

    Cesaro took a brutal bump onto a chair too. Looked painful as fuuck.

    And yeah, ADR got a very good match out of Reigns. That's exactly what they should be doing with Reigns, working with guys like that in 1v1 matches will benefit him an awful lot.

    It's a great use of ADR. His character may be dull and not get a lot of reaction but you can really see the difference having him in the ring makes with someone inexperienced.

    They should have been doing stuff like that with him all along.

    Also it's weird that this was the most watchable SD in a while thanks the 2 aformentioned matches but it's generated virtually no discussion. :V

    Smackdown just doesn't get an audience. Like you say it's unfortunate because those were two excellent matches that wouldn't have been out of place on a PPV.

    We will probably get them again on RAW anyway :p

    Seeing Paige and Naomi fight reminded me of the ECW feud between Sheamus and Shelton. Just because of the skin colour. Though even seeing Paige beside AJ is nearly as bad as Sheamus beside Orton.
