This episode of SmackDown featured some build up for WWE Payback, which takes place on May 19. It was highlighted by the contract signing for the main event of Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose vs. Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton.
To see what happened on the SmackDown taping, check out the results below, via Wrestling Inc.
"King Barrett kicks off SmackDown. Jerry Lawler interviews Barrett in the ring and he bullies Lawler around. Barrett threatens to hit Lawler with a Bullhammer but out comes Dolph Ziggler."
"Ziggler vs. Barrett is up first. Sheamus ran out for the interference and the double team but Neville made the save to a big pop. We get a tag match next…"
"Ziggler and Neville defeated Barrett and Sheamus in a very good tag match."
"Luke Harper defeated Fandango. After the match, Erick Rowan came down and beat up Fandango as Harper looked on."
"Lana comes out to a big pop but is interrupted by Rusev, who yells at her and cuts a promo on John Cena. Rusev says he will see Cena on Monday’s RAW and make him pay."
"The New Day defeated Ryback, Cesaro and Tyson Kidd. Bray Wyatt made the lights go out after a solid six-man match, leading to Ryback and everyone else being distracted and the end of the match."
"Naomi defeated Emma. Naomi and Tamina Snuka beat Emma down after the match. Our correspondent noted that Naomi was impressive and definitely had some fans in the crowd."
"Kane comes out for the Payback Fatal 4 Way contract signing. He introduces everyone and cuts a promo. Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Randy Orton all come out but WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins says he will not. Rollins tells Kane to sign the contract for him but Kane won’t. Seth whines but they all sign and Ambrose flips over the table, calling dibs on it for the fight that’s about to break out. They all start brawling and SmackDown goes off the air with Rollins standing tall."
This seems like a solid episode of SmackDown. The contract signing at the end of the show was announced on Raw. However, we rarely ever see these happen on the blue brand. They are usually saved for the go-home edition of Raw.
