SmackDown Review: Roman Reigns takes on Rusev

Heath Slater vs. Adam Rose
Slater had the advantage in this one, but the bunny came in and hit a slingshot dive to the outside on Titus. This distracted Slater, allowing Rose to hit a Party Foul for the win.
Rose defeats Slater via pinfall.
Not much to this match, just furthering the storyline surrounding the bunny, which will probably lead to a Night of Champions Kickoff match.
Lana and Rusev w/ Renee Young
They allowed Rusev a chance to speak, and he did so in Russian. Lana clarified that Rusev would CRUSH Roman Reigns tonight, and Mark Henry on Sunday.
Typical backstage interview. Cool to see Rusev speak, and cool that he did so in Russian. It wouldn’t be out of character for WWE to suddenly decide he can speak English.
