WWE Spoils Big Title Change Taking Place on Smackdown This Week
However, he would lose the title to Reigns soon after. Since December 14th, Vince McMahon has been trying to screw Reigns.
– Dean Ambrose kicks off this week’s SmackDown in the ring talking about wanting a Last Man Standing match against Kevin Owens at the upcoming WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
Gene reacts: WWE had an unusually long amount of time to build up to Royal Rumble yet they dragged their feet for weeks. He ended with hitting an F-5 on Reigns. The main event is booked: Dean Ambrose and Neville vs. Sheamus and Kevin Owens. To defeat the Beast Incarnate, something big has to happen. In the second encounter for the then-WWF Championship, The Rock defended his WWF Championship belt against Stone Cold Steve Austin in what was an excellent wrestling match. The more pressing matter is the injury incurred during the match; the fourth member of The New Day, trombone, will be out indefinitely after a brutal attack by Jericho.
However, the dramatics is what people still talk about today from that match.
Not a bad match to start off the night, but nothing spectacular either. This left everyone confused, including Jim Ross and Paul Heyman on commentary.
Then, it’s time for No. 30.
Punching well above his weight, Kalisto took the United States title on Raw this week and it was another sight to behold. It is considered as one of the significant moments in WrestleMania history and a 2001 Shocking Moment of the Year.
“Lesnar is a ‘face who the fans both are in awe of and respect wholeheartedly”.
This idea is not all too insane. The former WWE Undisputed Champion also will get up after his opponent hits their finishing move about two to three times. So, the best way for Lesnar to go down is in a messy fashion.
Coming off of his insane Salida del Sol from the top of a ladder at WWE TLC, Kalisto deserves this push. As for the events that transpire, I’ll leave that to your imagination. But this heel turn will be a shocker for two reasons.
It’s now up to the WWE just how far they want Kalisto to go and how they see him as a champion. Cue the next entrant, and Triple H’s music hits.
Another thing to look at would be how WWE could tease this, which they already have done multiple times.
During the fall, Reigning joining forces with Triple H was mentioned a whole lot on TV, only for Reigns to decline the offer. But what if Reigns decides to change his mind and joins The Authority after the group has become a nuisance to him. Yes, folks, you read that right.
However, WWE quickly dismissed those hopes at the SmackDown taping on Tuesday night. The McMahon’s were angry at this proposal and turned it down. This led to Lesnar taking out everyone at the end of Raw. Think about what Lesnar did the night after WrestleMania 31. This was when Lesnar took out his frustrations after Rollins ran away from their title rematch.
Again, WWE writers have this undying urge to beat down their faces only to have them come back. Ambrose and Neville land their finishers and stand tall to end the show. 1 and 2 in the Rumble last year, and this year two more lower midcarders will get the honor.
