From Sunday morning until Saturday night, the WWE will have produced more than 15-hours of brand new content for various networks and its own streaming service. It’s not hard to see why some people skip an episode of Smackdown here and there. That’s where I come in. My name is Mark Adam Haggerty and this is “Here Comes the Pain! The Top Five Moments from Smackdown.” Rather than rattling off a bunch of rest holds and ambiguous storylines, I’m here at www.Cheap-Heat.com to deliver a discernible list of what to watch, so you have a better idea of what to avoid!
5. Charlotte’s Web
Charlotte and Brie mix it up, and lobby for the quick tag from their individual corners. Neither woman is able to achieve assistance, especially when Nikki opted to attack Becky on the apron. Brie went for a finishing move of some sort, but Charlotte rolled her up in a “Bridging Schoolgirl” combination dubbed “Charlotte’s Web.”
4. Seth Responds to Sting
A very compelling promo from an individual who’s hit-or-miss on occasion. Seth says that he’s not afraid of “some freak that walks around with a baseball bat wearing face paint,” and says that Sting should be afraid of him. Seth says that Triple H’s only regret—in his ENTIRE career—was not finishing Sting once and for all at WrestleMania.
3. Kevin Owens vs. Adrian Neville
Great back and forth between the longest reigning NXT Champion, and the most dominant NXT Champion. Adrian Neville is able to go toe-to-toe with the much-larger Owens until the end of the match. The action hit the outside of the ring and Neville delivered a debilitating Super Kick. He tossed his opponent into the ring and attempted the “Red Arrow,” but to no avail. Owens countered Neville’s attempts into a Pop-up Powerbomb for a 1-2-3.
2. The Dudley Boyz Return to Smackdown!
The Dudley Boyz are back on WWE Smackdown for the very first time since 2005, set to compete with Konnor and Viktor of the Ascension. A fun match with much of what you might anticipate. The Ascension got the inevitable hope spot, but it wasn’t long before the Dudleyz hit their signature maneuvers for a decisive first victory back in the WWE.
1. All in the Wyatt Family
The show kicks off with the Wyatt Family—now stronger than ever with the “Black Sheep” Braun Strowman by their side. Luke Harper starts the show by telling the audience how they’ve been blinded, and how their ears are clogged to the truth! The Wyatt’s are soon met by their most consistent of adversaries—Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns. The Wyatt’s backed away for the time being, but this wasn’t the last time we’d see the new “Face of Fear,” “Face of Desolation,” nor “Face of Destruction.” The Wyatt’s returned later in the night to cost Dean Ambrose a victory over Sheamus. Following the match, Roman Reigns came to his friends rescue, but he was once again outmatched by the burling Braun Strowman.
