Smackdown spoilers for 9/3/15

I'm not sure how I feel about The Ascension being aligned with Stardust. Cody Rhodes could be huge as himself. I guess Neville gets The Lucha Dragons on board with him. This feud is starting to tread water. I'd rather have seen it continue with just Neville and Cody working each other.

I hope The Prime Time Players are out of the title hunt now. The money is in Bubba Ray and D-Von chasing for the titles.

Not sure how beating Cesaro again helps him in any way. He might have the injured ribs, but in today's WWE, they've played up medical clearances so much that I don't think people would buy Cesaro being hurt. Plus he's a guy that could actually use a "I beat Mr. Money in the Bank" win.

More useless shit between Summer Rae and Lana. The men seem to be playing secondary characters at this point. Probably should have led to Ziggler vs. Miz, with Dolph winning so he can build some steam during these non-finishes with Rusev.

BO'S BACK!!!! He probably should have stayed hurt for a little longer to sell the beat-down. I would have had R-Truth scheduled to face him, but talk about how Bo is now dead and show the clips of Brock beating him. Truth gives an open challenge and out comes Kevin Owens, who beats Truth. Dallas can still go over Truth when he returns, with a more focused and intensified gimmick.

Charlotte vs. Tamina? Not sure if they'll air this match, given that they probably want to play down Tamina's heritage right now, and that's the big draw for this match. Not feeling the "I'm looking at you as you hold up the title build."

Not sure how the DQ is triggered, but The New Day facing The Shield is a pretty fresh match. New Day are in a tricky situation where they are the most over tag team the WWE has, so they are used to put people over -- but they're also the most over tag team the WWE has, so they want them to go over. I feel like they should be treated like a bit more of a force and protected a little. At least they don't take the pin here.
