On Tuesday, WWE taped their latest episode of SmackDown from Providence, Rhode Island. This is a continuation of their overseas tour.

This show featured plenty of action with stars like Neville, Sheamus, Cesaro, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose all in action.

Check out the SmackDown spoilers below, via Wrestling Inc.

"The show opened with a Seth Rollins promo, who was with Kane and J&J Security. Kane and Rollins argued, and Rollins made fun of Kane for losing to John Cena on RAW. Kane wants Rollins to lay down for him to return the favor from last week. A referee comes down and the bell rings."

"Seth Rollins vs. Kane ended in a no-contest. Kane convinced Rollins to lay down or he’d “rip his guts out.” After Rollins laid down, Kane told him that he was just playing with him and made Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose, which is up next."

"Ambrose came out for his match with Rollins but was attacked by Luke Harper. Harper and Ambrose brawled, but Rollins helped Kane. Roman Reigns made the save and Reigns & Ambrose vs. Rollins & Harper is announced for later tonight."

"Neville & Dolph Ziggler defeated Sheamus & Bad News Barrett after Neville pinned Barrett with a Red Arrow while Sheamus and Ziggler were brawling outside of the ring."

"Naomi defeated Natalya with the Rear View."

"Ryback defeated Rusev via DQ after Rusev hit Ryback with a Russian chain to the gut. After the match, Rusev locked in an Accolade on Ryback on the outside while using the chain."

"Kofi Kingston defeated Cesaro after hitting Trouble in Paradise. There was lots of outside interference in this match."

"Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins & Luke Harper is the main event. There are loud “We Want Roman” chants. Reigns pinned Rollins with a spear. Was said to be a great match with a lot of near falls and big spots."

This is an interesting episode of SmackDown. It may not have too much, except for the Kane-Seth Rollins segment, but the show seems entertaining.

Kane breaking away from The Authority seems likely to come this Sunday at WWE Extreme Rules; it’s just a matter of how it happens. Will Kane cost Rollins the match to Randy Orton? We shall see.

Ryback winning via DQ, but being fed to Rusev makes sense. However, if it’s true that The Big Guy is on his way to a feud with Bray Wyatt, why make him look bad? This seems like an indication that Ryback would not be facing The Eater of Worlds, unless the latter has fallen in WWE’s eyes. Roman Reigns may be a possibility, however.

Speaking of Reigns, he got the win in the main event over Rollins. Having him pin the WWE WHC may not mean that he will face Wyatt, as this could be a stepping stone for a match at WWE Payback. Keep an eye on this result moving forward.

So, what did you think of these SmackDown results?
