WWE World Heavyweight Championship Contract Signing
Kane is out to introduce the participants. There are four chairs and a table in the center of the ring. Kane says he listened to the WWE Universe in knowing that they wanted to see a Fatal 4 Way for the WWE World Heavyweight Title. Orton is out first, followed by Reigns, Ambrose, and finally Rollins who waits at the top of the ramp. Ambrose calls Rollins Justin Bieber and says he should join him in the ring. Ambrose also calls J + J Bilbo and Frodo, or Hobbits. Classic Ambrose.
Rollins says Reigns has trouble forming sentences. Reigns has a sentence and it’s that he’s going to sign the contract and then kick Rollins’ ass. Reigns playing the quieter tough guy is exactly what he should be doing. Rollins claims that Kane can sign the contract for him. Kane says that since he is “obsolete” as Rollins puts it, he shouldn’t sign it for him. Rollins eventually makes his way down and takes the contract out of the ring. He starts some in-fighting between Reigns and Ambrose, saying Reigns called Ambrose a low-rent Roddy Piper, and Ambrose said Reigns couldn’t wrestle his way out of a paper bag.
Eventually all the men are in the ring and there is a shouting match between Kane and Rollins. Ambrose puts a the table in the corner and moves some chairs. He says “We all know how this is gonna end anyways. I call dibs on the table.” A fight breaks out with all the men attacking one another. Ambrose throws rolling office chairs at J + J security. Reigns hits Kane with a superman punch.
Reigns and Ambrose collide and argue. Orton then comes out of nowhere and RKO’s Ambrose. Reigns then hits Orton with a Superman Punch. Rollins, who had been outside the ring, hits a flying knee to Reigns to stand tall at the end.
Rating: 3.0 stars out of 5 stars
Overall a good episode of SmackDown. The development of Harper and Rowan together will be interesting to watch, the tag matches were all good, and the contract signing was fun buildup for the Fatal 4 Way at Payback.
