SmackDown! spoilers (airs 5/28/2015)
 

* Dean Ambrose kicks off SmackDown to a huge pop. Ambrose talks about what happened on RAW and mentions Roman Reigns, his name getting a big pop. Ambrose mentions Seth Rollins and Justin Bieber, getting a brief Bieber chant going. He talks about racing back to arena after being arrested and signing the contract. He talks about their fight for the richest price in the industry at Elimination Chamber. Ambrose and Reigns vs. Kane and Rollins is announced for tonight.

* Paige vs. Naomi and Ryback vs. Rusev will also take place tonight.

* Sin Cara and Kalisto vs. Cesaro and Tyson Kidd is next. The Ascension, The New Day, Los Matadores and The Prime Time Players are at ringside acting as Lumberjacks. Multiple "New Day sucks" chants throughout the course of the match. This was a great match with a lot of fast paced high style offense from both teams. A lot of double teaming by both teams. The crowd was hot throughout this match. There was a lot of involvement from the Lumberjacks also. The Lucha Dragons get the win when Kalisto hit his finisher.

* R-Truth vs. King Barrett is next with the Intercontinental Title on display at ringside. Truth wins with his STO finisher in a rather short match. Sheamus ran to the ring afterwards, hitting both Barrett and Sheamus with Brogue kicks.

* Renee Young interviews Lana backstage. Rusev interrupts and has words with Lana.

* Rusev vs. Ryback is next with the IC Title still on display. There were USA, "feed me more" and "we want Lana" chants throughout the match. Rusev hit a fall-away slam outside of the ring at one point. Rusev sells an ankle or foot injury. There was a lame ending with Ryback winning by DQ when Rusev sent him head first into the ring post. Trainers helped Rusev after the match.

* Paige vs. Naomi with Tamina Snuka is next. Paige took out Tamina at ringside with a kick to the face and went on to defeat Naomi with the cradle DDT.

* Michael Cole comes out and brings Kevin Owens to the ring. He tells Cole he's been in WWE for two weeks but has been wrestling for 15 years all over the world. Owens talks about John Cena and their match this Sunday. He says Cena has never beaten him and Cena needs to prove something to him. We get a look at Owens destroying Sami Zayn in NXT. Owens says if he did something that bad to someone he cared about, imagine what he will do to Cena.

* Reigns and Ambrose vs. Kane and Rollins is next. Ambrose is out first, followed by Reigns who received a huge pop, in fact the biggest of the night. Rollins is out next with Kane and J&J Security. Reigns and Kane start off the match and Rollins sent Ambrose flying off the apron into the barricade. Rollins and Kane are sent out of the ring. Ambrose and Reigns go to attack them and bring them back in. Reigns and Ambrose win via DQ when J&J interfered after Reigns pinned Rollins following a Superman Punch. The New Day run down and beat down Ambrose but Reigns takes them all out with a diving plancha. Dean and Roman clean house, leaving New Day laid out. Rollins and Kane beat down Ambrose. Rollins hits a Pedigree on Ambrose. Kane and Rollins end SmackDown to boos. Reigns got the biggest pop of the night but Ambrose was a close second.

DARK MAIN EVENT: Smackdowno Del Rampa Jr. v. Owen White ended in a DQ when The New Day interfered, triple teaming both men in order to soften them both up for the tag team championship chamber match before the other teams all ran in and brawled before Del Rampa and White got the upper hand, tossing The New Day out of the ring to send the crowd home happy.

*Apologies to slik, I hope he won't hate me. Haven't done this in a very long time though.

Ambrose/Reigns vs Kane/Rollins. Where have i seen that before?

:|

I didn't write the spoilers. They were copy/pasted verbatim.

You booked it.

Del Rampa would never help White, who corresponded this?

When a guy who's been jobbing is entered into a multi-man match (Elimination Chamber, MITB, etc...) they suddenly give them a big upset to make them seem on par with the other guys. It's stupid and only serves to make everyone seem average and hinders anyone ever getting over. But there we go.

He's probably working the Randy Orton long con.

That's why Del Rampa is stuck on Smackdown, he's a no-good son of a bitch that needs to be let go

If there's anything I learned from a certain past SD! GM, it's "When in doubt, 'TAG TEAM MATCH, PLAYA!'"

I really don't get why they do this with R-Truth. The guy isn't even bad -- they just don't care about him until they randomly shove him into something. Neville and Bray Wyatt actually won their matches at Elimination Chamber and are now pretty aimless. They should have just thrown all the active rivalries -- Ziggler vs. Sheamus; Wyatt vs. Ryback; Barrett vs. Neville -- into the Elimination Chamber and let the winner become Intercontinental Champion.

He probably won't become the new IC Champ, but I feel like Truth has been through more than enough by now to merit some kind of title run. I wonder how many people would even remember he had a match vs. Cena for the WWE Championship at Capitol Punishment a few years back without looking it up somewhere. The sad answer is probably not many.

Truth had a US title run before.

The thing about R-Truth is that he just doesn't demand a title be put on him. He's entertaining enough and a good enough worker, but would he really make a better Intercontinental Champion than half the roster? I appreciate that they want to give the guy a few nuggets here and there, but they should build him up for something some time. The Miz is returning and not doing much -- put him back with R-Truth and let them be a heel tandem again. They probably could have done fine with a Tag Team Title run in 2011/early 2012 when they were first together.

Anyway, and we all know what I'm gonna ask: should I tape smackdown this week?

'ell yeah THE RUSEV CRUSH survived another show

Hey! Happy 10 year anniversary, Shisen!

In honor of the occasion, I'M going to tape Smackdown and mail it to you. You don't have to record over shit this week, buddy!

Rusev ended up getting injured for real.

Well on the plus side, it's not like he has any momentum that will be ruined by this.

True

hhmm.... well hopefully everyone else in SURVIVAL SEASON 18 loses over the next 3 weeks....

He'd probably win if we didn't have these stupid NXT guys allowed to participate.

Was actually going to talk about this in my R.I.P. Rusev thread but ABT starting to whine about spoilers.

It's on WWE.com. I don't think it's a spoiler. You're not really spoiling the match or even commenting on whether it happened during a match.

True, but for some select few (not everyone, though, of course), until they've had the chance to watch whatever show it is a would-be spoiler.

I 100% agree but he complained so I will wait.
