SmackDown Spoilers 07/08/2015

* SmackDown opens with a Roddy Piper tribute.
* Roman Reigns vs. Rusev was announced for later tonight.
* Reigns kicked off SmackDown in the ring with a promo on Bray Wyatt. Rusev interrupted and warned Reigns about their match later tonight.
* Mark Henry and The Prime Time Players defeated The New Day in a six-man match.
* Charlotte vs. Naomi was restarted as a tag team match due to interference.
* Sasha Banks and Naomi defeated Charlotte and Becky Lynch.
* Stardust defeated Zack Ryder.
* Roman Reigns defeated Rusev in the main event.

Both Main Event and Smackdown look very short. I guess there's lots of Summerslam/Raw hype and recap videos. Also they may have given the rest of the roster a head start on getting to Australia.

The biggest news for me is can you guess? The Submission Sorority losing but fear not as shockingly Naomi pinned Charlotte NOT Becky. :eek:

So this means that Becky is the only one who hasn't been pinned or submitted among her team yet. I guess they are keeping Becky for Nikki to beat.

Good to see she wasn’t pinned, but I’m guessing she will soon pick up a pin loss as you predicted to keep with WWEs even steven booking mentality.

A loss wouldn’t hurt her too much at this stage with nearly everyone else being pinned or tapping out too (IIRC Sasha is the only other girl not to taste a pinfall or a submission loss in recent weeks)

While its far from the revolution they are calling it, its improved the diva’s division greatly from what it was in the weeks before the NXT debuts.

Still wish Tamina would just feck off though.

so they have Charlotte make Nikki tap on Raw, make her look like a title contender, then job her out to Naomi on Smackdown.
that's WWE logic for you.

Its the even stephen logic to keep them all on the same level. Never truly elevating anyone

No it's not. Especially not at a time when WWE is trying to make women's wrestling matter again. Lawler needs to show respect for the female athletes or just leave.

New Day are so entertaining they elevate every show they are on.

Becky yelling "Whata bout ya" and "Do you want your go" at Team Bad on Smackdown. You can take the girl out of Dublin but you can't take the Dublin out of the girl. Noticed Charlotte an Becky where both wearing Bayley bands before the match which was cool. Besides the botch at the end discussed in the Becky thread it was a really good match by main roster standards and the crowd were into it.

Rusev/Reigns is kind of that you would expect. Lots of rest holds in the middle. But like Raw the ending was really exciting though.

Lana is so lame these days:

Ridley

Eva Marie's getting a Mike Mizanin gimmick?

the groutch

the heat she's gonna get will make Bootista seem like a saint.

J. Marston

No-one is going to get behind that underdog story.

She's just so bleh.
