WWE SmackDown Report – 4/9/15

We are in Dallas, Texas and your announcers are Tom Phillips, Byron Saxton, and Jerry Lawler.

 


 

Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ring and he has something to say to the people of Dallas.

Before we hear from Daniel, we take a look back at the match between Daniel Bryan and Sheamus from last week, including Wade Barrett’s involvement in the match to help Sheamus win by count out.

Daniel says last week was one of the highlights of his careers when he climbed the ladder in front of 76,000 people and won the Intercontinental Championship at Wrestlemania. The title only means as much as the actions of the person who holds it. How does he make the Intercontinental Championship mean even more? By defending it with everything he has against anyone who wants to fight for this title.

Daniel says that he did that the night after Wrestlemania when he did that in a grueling match against Dolph Ziggler. Who should come out after that match but Sheamus. He came out looking all stupid and he didn’t congratulate or challenge him for his title. He kicked him in the face. He did even worse to Dolph to the point that Dolph couldn’t compete on Raw or Smackdown.

Last week, he fought Sheamus and at some point during the match, he was knocked to the floor. He had blood on his forehead and he saw Wade Barrett. In the middle of all of that fight . . .

Wade Barrett’s music plays and he makes his way out to the stage.

Wade says that he will tell you what happened. Your magical week turned into a nightmare when I dropped you with a BullHammer.

Sheamus’ music plays and the braided bearded one enters. Sheamus says then he kicked your head off with a Brogue Kick. He showed why you shouldn’t pick on someone who isn’t your size. Sheamus says he tolerates Barrett because he is not a munchkin like you. He considered how much he detests you undersized insects. He decided they should give Daniel a European style arse kicking because they can.

Barrett and Sheamus make their way to the ring, but Dolph Ziggler’s music plays and Barrett and Sheamus freeze in place while Dolph makes his way to the ring and he tells Sheamus he talks a big game for someone who looks like Captain Jack Sparrow and Carrot Top made a baby nobody liked. Maybe the reason you two are so tall is because your heads are up each other’s arses. If you want a fight, let’s do it right now.

Ziggler and Bryan stand in the ring waiting for Sheamus and Barrett to do something, but . . .

Big Show’s music plays. He says that he doesn’t see eye to eye with Sheamus, but he agrees with Sheamus about these pipsqueaks whining and complaining all the time. He won the Andre the Giant Battle Royal so that means he has eclipsed Andre and is the greatest giant in the business. He tells everyone to check the facts. If you think you are going to have fun beating up these munchkins without me, you are sadly mistaken.

Roman Reigns’ music plays and the paralysis returns for Sheamus and Barrett and Show also feels the effects.

Show tells Reigns if he gets into the ring, he is going to hurt him.

Reigns enters the ring and he takes down Show with a double leg take down. Ziggler goes after Sheamus while Bryan and Barrett battle. Show, Sheamus, and Barrett leave the ring.

Tyson Kidd, Cesaro, and Natalya walk in the back as we go to commercial.

We are back and the tag match that was announced on Raw for tonight will not happen. It has been super sized to a six man tag match with Big Show joining Sheamus and Wade Barrett while Roman Reigns joins Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler.

Before our first match, the New Day has something to say to the people in Dallas.

Big E says ‘New Day’ and the crowd responds with ‘sucks’. He wants to know what is wrong with you. They are clapping for you and you say ‘New Day Sucks’? Right now, he wants everyone to stand on your feet and clap.

Kofi and Xavier start to clap and the ‘New Day Sucks’ chants resume. They stop clapping.

Big E says they are trying to bring positivity to you and you want to ruin their New Day. Something has got to change. You have got to like us. You’ve got to love us. Because we are here for you. We are here for a new day.

Some creature that would destroy everything we thought was real. When they saw all of his flaws, he saw his possibilities. He took Erick Rowan in and he found him laying in the mud. He became his teacher. He taught him what it was like to be loved and to have a family. There was a time he was proud to call Erick Rowan his brother.

He fixed Erick like you fix a broken toy. Then he had to set him free so Erick could see with his own eyes what kind of a cruel, horrible, rotten world we live in. He had to see that this world was full of carnivorous insects that wanted to tear us apart. Evil is all around. You returned Erick Rowan to him and he is broken again. It is all your fault. Tonight would be a very special night. He wanted to teach Erick one last lesson. He wanted to show him that you cannot trust anyone. He will finally destroy Erick Rowan.

Miz says he doesn’t blame Sandow for what he has done the last two weeks. He blames the WWE Universe. You made him believe he is something he is not. You cheer and applaud him. You chant for him. You want him, but you don’t want him without Miz. Do you even know the backstory for Damien Sandow? He was fired twice from this company and he was on his way out a third time. He saved his career. He made him and he gave him a purpose and a championship.

Damien Sandow comes out to Miz’ music.

Miz says that Sandow probably has a speech prepared saying you stood up to the Miz and how you are a man of the people. What you don’t understand or get is that you are on a steep decline. You need to do the right thing. You need to get your career, life, and future on track. These people cannot get you on track. Miz says that he can and he is willing to forgive everything that has happened in the past two weeks because he is a charitable person.

Miz says he will forgive Sandow if he says two little words. He has to say ‘I’m Sorry’ and everything will go back to the way it was. He wants Damien to shake his hand and apologize. Miz tells Sandow not to listen to these people. They think they know what it is like to be a WWE Superstar. He gave Damien tough love. That is what happens in Hollywood. He can make him a star and get him back on track. All you have to do is shake his hand and apologize.

Miz asks Sandow if he wants his career in the hands of them, or him. They will forget about you if you are not with me. He wants Sandow to shake his hand and apologize.

Sandow shakes his hand and he begrudgingly says he is sorry. He says he is sorry he did not do this sooner and he punches Miz.
