Fecking hell lads no thread yet:

* New WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins comes out to kick off the show. Rollins comes out with Kane, Big Show, Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble for a promo in the ring but he’s interrupted by Randy Orton. Orton says he’s still owed a title shot and talks trash about The Authority. Kane makes a match – Orton vs. Show.

* Orton vs. Show starts right now. Orton wins by DQ after Kane, Noble and Mercury attack him as he was going for the RKO. Rollins comes in and Orton gets some offense in but Kane chokeslams him. Ryback runs out for the save and Rollins runs off. Ryback takes out Kane, Noble and Mercury.

* Naomi vs. Natalya with The Bella Twins on commentary is next. Naomi gets the win with a DDT finisher.

* Backtage segment with Seth Rollins and Kane. Kane says a title match between Rollins and Randy Orton sounds good for Extreme Rules. Dean Ambrose comes out of Kane’s personal bathroom and Kane makes Ambrose vs. Luke Harper for tonight.

* They show a Roman Reigns interview on the big screen where he talks about WrestleMania 31.

* The Miz comes out and he claps as we see footage of his attack on Damien Sandow from RAW. R-Truth comes out and get have a match. Fans start chanting for Sandow right away. Miz defeats Truth in a quick match. After the match, Sandow runs down and lays Miz out with a Skull Crushing Finale. Sandow puts on Miz’s sunglasses and poses to a pop.

* John Cena comes out to a huge pop. Cena says he will put the united States Title on the line every week through an open challenge. Rusev interrupts and comes out with Lana. Rusev says he didn’t lose at WrestleMania and he should still be champion. Rusev says he will crush Cena at Extreme Rules. Cena fires back and says he will fight Rusev right now. Rusev goes to make a Russian flag drop but nothing happens. Cena then makes an American flag drop and gets a huge pop, no “Cena sucks” chants.

* Luke Harper vs. Dean Ambrose is next. Harper ended up putting Ambrose through the announcer table. Harper then argued with and shoved the EMT’s before leaving. Ambrose was helped to the back.

* Titus O’Neil and Darren Young cut a promo on The New Day on the big screen.

* Sheamus comes out to a huge pop that quickly turns to boos and a “you look stupid” chant. Sheamus embraces it. Daniel Bryan was out next to a huge pop for a non-title match. Bad News Barrett is on commentary. This was a very physical match with heat for Sheamus. Bryan got knocked to the floor and Barrett hit him with a Bullhammer when the referee wasn’t looking. Sheamus won by count out and it looked like Bryan was busted open. Barrett left to boos and Bryan left to a big pop and “yes!” chants as SmackDown ends.

This was a really good Smackdown as nothing on it was bad at all. The last two matches were tremendously enjoyable TV matches. The Cena-Rusev was a cute cartoonish back and forth.They are doing an interesting feud between Prime Time Players and New Day. That will seemingly turn the New Day heel. In addition they are trading racial barbs towards each other.

Sheamus-Bryan was super stiff with Bryan needing 7 stitches. Sheamus's presentation and characterisation is really encouraging the first week in. Barrett's commentary during the match deserves a mention too. Really like the IC title division so far.

Given it is part of the same TV taping I'll post it here. This Main Event match is far better and more heated than you would expect. Emma plays her new NXT less nonsense character but Cameron & Rae's heel work is the main stand out. Won't change the World but for what it set out to do it accomplished really well.

Am looking forward to the regular Daniel Bryan main event but stuff like Orton and Ryback stuck with Kane and Show is a real turn off.

Someone like Harper should be added so that its not always those two and they could mix it up a bit.

Orton v Show?

Kill me.

Show and Kane desperately need to get off my TV.

They do seem to have embraced the fact that New Day aren't getting over since that's one of the things PTP mentioned

New Day need black ring gear and to recruit Adam Rose as their Owen Hart.

Great charasmatic promo from the Prime Time Players, it's a wonder why they ever broke them up. The bit with the crickets after shouting "New Day" was golden, if a bit cringe for Big E and co.

Bryan vs Sheamus was excellent. They beat the living daylights out of each other. Bryan at the moment is at the top of his game, if WWE give him a lengthy run with the IC title and his matches and feuds are all of a top quality, The Bryan will make the IC belt the number 1 belt in wrestling like Nakamura has done in NJPW. That's if WWE don't do anything stupid *fingers crossed*

When are they going to pull the trigger on Ryback?

Kind of feel he's been in the Authority story too long....he needs lengthy feud... Rusev maybe or have him become Stings enforcer if the idea is to have the Icon bring down the Authority...

Anyone see a future title for the Big Guy?

The wife commented on Ryback during his run in, he looks like Superman on steroids.

Pair Rose with Fandango.

But New Nation of Domination reference is on the WWE fan bingo card.

I know people will criticise me for this, but looking at Brock Lesnar shows how easy it is to book a monster. Yes, Lesnar is way more talented of course; and I'm not suggesting if they booked Ryback like Lesnar Ryback would be as popular. But he could at least be a lot more popular and when he appears it would mean something if he just went out and caused havoc everytime.

DM_7

Enjoyed the main event. Barrett v Bryan is a feud I look forward too.

Depsite losing plenty as IC champ his bullhammer was made to look like one of the most dangerous moves around.

Rusev should have been moved away from Cena if he is not winning at extreme rules.

Was annoyed to read that the feud is going on. Raw seemed to imply there'd be a break from it, with Cena doing the open challanges and Rusev getting rehabbed. Open challenge gimmick loses something when you know Cena vs Rusev is happening at the PPV.
