Entire roster surrounded the ring. Bryan & Shane announced a 6 pack challenge tonight to face Ambrose at Summerslam.
Cena vs Wyatt (who is dressed like an Aces & 8's member) vs Ziggler vs Corbin vs Styles vs the winner of a battle royal up next
I'm predicting an upset with Apollo Crews winning the battle royal

CREWS WINS!! I get a cookie.
Solid battle royal to start the show. David Otunga isn't great by any means on commentary, but he's 10000 times better than Saxton.

Bring back Charlie Haas & give us Worlds Greatest Tag Team vs American Alpha! It's certainly interesting they put him on the show with American Alpha. Always liked Shelton. I want mamma back too.

Good ol' 50/50 booking. Becky gets the win back. Liked the match, but liked their match at Battleground better.

Hahaha every woman but Eva Marie got a chance to talk on the mic. Having the guy do a voiceover about her as she walked out in a grand entrance was a clever way to disguise her awfulness.
Alexa got boos. Naomi got nothing. Carmella sadly got little reaction too. People were confused by the Eva entrance.

Good Lord, Randy just said to Maryse & Miz "which one in this relationship is doing the pitching & the catching?"
1 hour in and we've had a battle royal & a women's match. Orton vs Miz is coming up next.
This Smackdown has come to a screeching halt.

I thought the shitting in the bag thing turned out to be tanning lotion & baby oil. Regardless, this was in 2005, prime dickhead Orton era. Orton got away with so much, because he was Vince's boy.
The Orton/Miz match was average. Orton hit an RKO out of nowhere, sat there & stared at Miz (while Mauro made a "he went down faster than a plate of chicken wings" reference and Otunga made a Scar from the Lion King reference), waited for what seemed like 5 minutes for Miz to get up & hit another RKO for the win.
New Era and RuRu took the pin yesterday & Miz got beat tonight. Not good for your secondary champs.

American Alpha doesn't even debut on tonight's show, they are debuting NEXT WEEK?!?!?! Are you serious? Random jobber in the ring & out comes HEATH SLATER from the crowd & attacks him. Crowd chants "Sign Heath Slater!" who wants the main event to be a Magnificent Seven Pack Challenge! Slater getting a chance to talk! Saying he's the brains behind Nexus, The Corre (remember that?), One Man Baaaannd BAYBAY, 3MB & The Social Outcasts! Annnnd he just got GORED by RHYNO

Not a bad show but nothing special. This match could be pretty good.

When talking about Crews & Corbin, JBL just said "this is the reason these two were drafted so high!"
Corbin was drafted 19 overall, ok, Crews was drafted.....45th.

Raw had a different feel to it. Smackdown feels like Smackdown. Wrestling is fine, but like you said Drop In, nothing special.

ZIGGLER WINS??!?!?! He pins AJ clean after a superkick. Wow. AJ did kick out of a FU from Cena right before though.
Ziggler vs Ambrose at Summerslam.
If only this push would've come 2 years ago.

Wyatt vs Ambrose has been done a ton. AJ/Cena are probably going to continue their feud. Corbin sucks. Crews I would've liked to get the win, but he needs more time I guess.
If only these last 2 years of Ziggler being totally buried didn't happen.
Oh well, it's a new feud, so I'm all for it.

I haven't watched this yet because I'm dreading hearing JBL. I can't imagine Otunga is much better.

Ziggler flops too much in his matches for my liking. I do like him getting a heater and turning heel like Nash suggested though. That would make sense for his character.
