Last night, the SmackDown tapings took place from Fort Wayne, Indiana. The show featured top Superstars like Rusev, Dolph Ziggler, and even Daniel Bryan in a non-wrestling role again. We also saw an earlier than expected debut of a new stable that you’ve probably seen vignettes for over the past three weeks.
With that in mind, here’s the results from the SmackDown tapings, via Wrestling Inc.
"SmackDown kicks off with Big Show on MizTV but Daniel Bryan interrupts to a big pop. Bryan is the General Manager tonight and is putting Luke Harper and Rusev in matches."
"Rusev retains his United States Title in a 20-man battle royal with the rest of the roster. Rusev was forced to do the battle royal for not saying the Pledge of Allegiance on RAW."
"Nikki Bella defeated Emma. Nikki cut what was said to be a very good promo. AJ Lee came out after and attacked Nikki and Brie Bella."
"Ryback defeated Seth Rollins by disqualification when Kane interfered. Kane beat on Ryback with a chair."
"Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods debuted as A New Day and defeated Curtis Axel, Heath Slater and Titus O’Neil."
"Backstage promo from Bray Wyatt talking about Dean Ambrose."
"Backstage segment with Daniel Bryan. He announces Kane vs. Ryback in a Chairs Match for TLC."
"Dolph Ziggler vs. Luke Harper is next with the Intercontinental Title on the line. Ziggler ended up winning by count out but Harper retains. Harper swung the title belt at Ziggler after the match but Ziggler hit a Zig Zag and celebrated to end SmackDown."

After Monday night’s mess of a show, it seems like WWE rebounded somewhat with this. The disqualification and count out won’t excite many fans, but Dolph Ziggler was once again put in a big spot in the main event of a show and Ryback still seems like he’s getting a push.
The debut of A New Day being earlier than expected is interesting. It would have been better to unveil the trio to a bigger audience on Monday Night Raw, but as always, we disagree with what WWE does.
It was also good to see that WWE didn’t forget about Rusev having to defend his United States Championship in a battle royal. Many fans thought that it would be tossed away because no reference was made of it after him and Lana didn’t complete saying the Pledge of Allegiance.
Are you happy with the SmackDown results?
