Dark Match:
Big E and Xavier Woods beat The Ascension. The Ascension are now 0-2 for the week.
WWE Smackdown TV Taping:
Daniel Bryan was first out for Smackdown. He said the Yes Movement isn’t dead. He was about to say what he plans to do at WrestleMania, but Bad News Barrett came out. Barrett said “losers like you don’t deserve Mania, neither does that lunatic thief Dean Ambrose.”
Ambrose came out and brawled with Barrett while Bryan watched. Bryan picked up the Intercontinental Title that was left in the ring. He haded it to Barrett, who turned around and was struck by Ambrose’s punch and Bryan’s kick. Barrett dropped the belt, and Ambrose picked it up. Ambrose and Bryan celebrated in the ring together.
Dean Ambrose beat The Miz. Mizdow was not present for Miz’s entrance. Barrett came through the crowd to get his belt back. Ambrose still pinned Miz, and Mizdow never appeared…
Backstage, Renee Young interviewed Barrett, who said Ambrose can’t hold a candle to his ability and neither can that hobo Bryan. He said he’s never letting go of his title…
Natalya (w/Tyson Kidd, Cesaro) beat Naomi (w/The Usos). The women came out to their own entrance music rather than their tag team’s music. Natalya won with a clothesline after the tag teams fought at ringside…
Rusev and Lana were out for a promo. Lana showed a picture of Cena holding up his “Never Give Up” towel at Fastlane, and then showed another of Rusev winning. She showed a letter that was supposedly from Vladimir Putin. They got massive heat. Jack Swagger came out and got a cheap pop by mentioning Atlanta. Rusev and Swagger brawled. Swagger had the initial offense, but Rusev came back and applied The Accolade…
All the way from Asgard. R-Truth came out for commentary. Bryan had Barrett in the Yes Lock on the stage when Truth snuck up there and took the IC Title belt. Barrett recovered and was going for the Bull Hammer, but Bryan hit a running knee for the win. Afterward, Barrett stared down the announcers, but he never really suspected Truth of taking the title belt. Two more losses for Barrett over the last two days. He should be thrilled they took his belt.
A backstage interview with Byron Saxton and Roman Reigns was shown. I tuned out the interview, but he basically said he’s a proud family man and he’s gonna beat Lesnar…
Backstage, R-Truth gave Dean Ambrose the Intercontinental Title belt and said, “Here, take it.” Two title changes in one night! Smackdown is on fire! At least I got a good laugh…
Fandango beat Curtis Axel. Fandango spoke before the match. Axel now has an AxelMania clock that shows how long he’s been in the Royal Rumble match. Funny. Fandango won in about a minute…
The Miz, Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Big E, and Tyson Kidd did a Be A Star appearance at the Boys & Girls Club of Atlanta…
Goldust beat Adam Rose. Stardust was dressed as a Rosebud monkey, and he attacked Goldust…
Bray Wyatt cut a promo. It was the same type of thing he’s been saying… Raw returns to Atlanta on July 13. The pre-sale password is WWEATL… The main event is up next…
Dolph Ziggler, Ryback, and Erick Rowan defeated Seth Rollins, Big Show, and Kane. Ryback pinned Rollins.
Dark Main Event
Roman Reigns beat Bray Wyatt. Reigns entered from the main stage. Reigns won with a Superman punch and a spear. Decent match, not one-sided…
