wwe

It’s Friday night and WrestleTalk will be providing live results and coverage for another edition of WWE SmackDown. We’re a little over a week away from Fastlane. We should get some further developments in the Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns feud and the Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks story.

Here is the advertised card for tonight:

  • Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship contract signing for WWE Fastlane
  • Bianca Belair and SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks to appear on “The KO Show”
  • Belair and Banks vs. Tamina and Natalya
  • Street Profits and The Mysterios vs. Otis, Gable, Bobby Roode, and Dolph Ziggler
  • Intercontinental Champion Big E returns

9:56pm

Fastlane Contract

Roman Reigns refuses to sign the contract. Daniel Bryan goads him into signing it.

He says Reigns is upset because Bryan was able to do something Reigns couldn’t. He forced Uso to quit.

Uso has heard enough. He says he’s going to be a special enforcer for their match. Edge comes out and challenges Uso to a match to determine who is the enforcer.

A brawl breaks out and we’re down. Who will be the special enforcer?

See you Monday.

9:47pm

Time to sign some paperwork

Reigns and Daniel Bryan are facing off for a contract signing up next. Reigns makes his way down to the ring with Heyman and Uso.

9:36pm

IC Title Match

Big E’s mindset seemed like he was going to make quick work of his opponent. Instead, Sami is in control when we come back.

This would have been the time to have just had Big E squash him. Instead, they are having him be distracted. He keeps calling out for Apollo.

After some near falls, Big E finally puts away Sami Zayn. After the match, Apollo’s music hits and Apollo attacks from behind. Apollo takes out Big E and grabs the steel steps.

He hits Big E with the steps and E rolls to the outside. Accents aside, Apollo has found a groove as this heel. I’m digging it.

Oh, FFS, we get a 3rd Reginald segment.

9:26pm

Big E is upset

Big E has lost it. He’s so angry. He’s in tears. I love it.

He’s not even making a lot of sense, but he’s going to beat the mess out of him. “You step on my lawn and I’m going to bulldoze your house!” Huh? The passion makes up for the crazed commentary.

He wants to do more than just beat him. He calls him out and Apollo is a no show. He issues an open challenge since Apollo wouldn’t come out.

King Corbin answers. Wait, nope. King Corbin is out in street clothes. Corbin takes too much time talking about his suit. So, Sami Zayn comes out and accepts before Corbin can officially accept.

Zayn’s going to get destroyed.

 

9:17pm

C'mon WWE

Reggie is strutting on the announcer’s table. He’s flaunting his stuff for Nia Jax.

For some reason, Banks goes over and confronts him. He runs away and jumps in the ring.

Banks follows him. Nattie hits her. Belair hits Nattie. Tamina pins Belair with a roll-up. Bianca gets out and yells at Sasha. She says she doesn’t lose.

Well, she just did. She blames Sasha. The truth is if Belair had just focused on the person in the ring she wouldn’t have lost. That wasn’t Banks fault.

This was bad on so many levels. You have your champion and number 1 contender in the biggest women’s match at Mania losing to Nattie and Tamina. Not to mention they are the challengers for the tag belts. So, you have them losing her. WWE should be building them up as dominant women. Instead, they look petty, stupid, incompetent, and bad heading into Mania. UGH!!!

This show is not been good so far. I genuinely want to like this show and it’s been fairly good for recent months. This show has just been bad.

9:02pm

The KO Show

KO is here with his cards where he pauses at the weirdest times. He’s great at this. He’s back to being funny Kevin instead of the serious Kevin we’ve seen in the Roman Reigns feud.

He calls out Belair. Next, he welcomes Sasha Banks.

You notice they are wearing their wrestling gear. They have a match with Natalya and Tamina.

The ladies start to argue. Banks is not a face. This character cannot be a face. Reginald, Nia, and Shayna come out. Reggie’s wearing his new suit. Before they can get to the ring, Nattie and Tamina are out.

How will they coexist?

Before the segment, Edge talks with Jey Uso. He basically says don’t be a second banana.

8:50pm

Okay, this is better

After those 5 minutes, I’ll never get back, WWE at least gives us Cesaro and Murphy. This is much better.

Granted we only get about 3 minutes of action before Rollins interferes. Rollins attacks Cesaro when he does the big swing. He hits him with the stomp.

Rollins puts Cesaro’s head in a chair and goes for another stomp, but WWE officials stop Rollins.

Rollins walks off and runs into Nakamura who gives him the evil eye.

Backstage, Sami Zayn runs into Kevin Owens. Owens is about do the KO Show with Belair and Banks. Zayn wants him to be in the conspiracy video. KO says he’ll think about it.

8:42pm

Backstage segments

Seth Rollins is upset in an interview backstage. He finds out Murphy and Cesaro are having a rematch tonight and he just grins.

We get a backstage segment with Nia Jax and Reggie. She takes him on a shopping spree. She makes him try on suits. She slaps his butt and makes ogling noises.

So, let me get this straight. We can’t find time for Andrade or Aleister Black on television, but we have time for this crap? This was horrible. If they are going for Otis and Mandy vibes, this isn’t it. Nia is the opposite of loveable and this isn’t building her any heat as a heel. This is just pointless. It’s not funny. It’s just a waste of time. Can you tell I didn’t like it?

8:15pm

8-Man Tag Action

The Street Profits and The Mysterios are facing off against Otis, Gable, Roode, and Ziggler. Before the match, the bad guys attack the good guys.

Remember when Otis and Dolph were bitter enemies because Ziggler got his girl traded. While Gable is a great partner, I think if I were Otis I’d still take Mandy.

During the match, Dominik gets beat up until he can make the hot tag to Dawkins. Dawkins has a great hot tag.

Things break down before the commercial break. When we come back Ford is in the ring. We get a series of quick tags.

The Mysterios hit the 1238 aka the Double 619. They tag in Ford. Ford hits a massive Frog Splash. He pins Bobby Roode. They now have a win over the tag team champions.

Will they get a tag team championship match?

Backstage, Jey Uso is walking up to Roman’s locker room. Paul Heyman won’t let him in because he tapped out in the cage match.

8:03pm

Edge kicks off the show

Edge is here. He’s kicking off the show. How weird is it that Edge and Christian are involved in storylines for main championships in 2021?

Edge addresses Roman. He says he made his choice for Roman, but Roman doesn’t want him. Edge says he’s going to remind people who he is. He talks about wrestling 7 days a weeks against a bunch of legends a decade ago. He talks about Daniel Bryan going into business for himself.

I have to say, normally, I think Edge is a really good talker. However, I didn’t get the content of this one. I felt like it was rambling and not very pointed. He delivered it well.

Bryan is out and he says he respects Edge. Meanwhile, Daniel Bryan’s promo is very on point and makes a lot of sense. He thinks this is his last mania. He wants to do whatever it takes to be in the main event.

Edge is back saying he doesn’t like how Bryan went about it. Edge apparently hasn’t watched much of WWE while out. It’s this way every year. You win a shot at mania. You don’t win a guaranteed shot at a person. It’s whoever the champ is come mania.

8 man tag action next.

7:26pm

Welcome to the show
