Check out the spoilers from tonight’s WWE SmackDown taping in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

If you plan on watching Thursday Night SmackDown this week, please read other articles on Daily DDT.

Tonight’s WWE SmackDown taping took place from Wilkes-Barre, PA. This was the final show before WWE Elimination Chamber this Sunday, exclusively on the WWE Network.

The focus mostly surrounded around the main event of Elimination Chamber between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins. We also will see the SmackDown debut of an NXT star.

Check out what happened on the SmackDown spoilers below (h/t Wrestling Inc).

  • Dean Ambrose kicks off SmackDown to a huge pop. Ambrose talks about what happened on RAW and mentions Roman Reigns, his name getting a big pop. Ambrose mentions Seth Rollins and Justin Bieber, getting a brief Bieber chant going. He talks about racing back to arena after being arrested and signing the contract. He talks about their fight for the richest price in the industry at Elimination Chamber. Ambrose and Reigns vs. Kane and Rollins is announced for tonight.
  • Sin Cara and Kalisto vs. Cesaro and Tyson Kidd is next. The Ascension, The New Day, Los Matadores and The Prime Time Players are at ringside acting as Lumberjacks. This was a great match with a lot of fast paced high style offense from both teams. The Lucha Dragons get the win when Kalisto hit his finisher.
  • R-Truth vs. King Barrett is next. Truth wins with his STO finisher in a rather short match. Sheamus ran to the ring afterwards, hitting both Barrett and Sheamus with Brogue kicks.
  • Rusev vs. Ryback is next with the IC Title still on display. There were USA, “feed me more” and “we want Lana” chants throughout the match. Rusev hit a fall-away slam outside of the ring at one point. Rusev sells an ankle or foot injury. There was a lame ending with Ryback winning by DQ when Rusev sent him head first into the ring post. Trainers helped Rusev after the match.
  • Paige vs. Naomi with Tamina Snuka is next. Paige took out Tamina at ringside with a kick to the face and went on to defeat Naomi with the cradle DDT.
  • Michael Cole comes out and brings Kevin Owens to the ring. He tells Cole he’s been in WWE for two weeks but has been wrestling for 15 years all over the world. Owens talks about John Cena and their match this Sunday. He says Cena has never beaten him and Cena needs to prove something to him. Owens says if he did something that bad to someone he cared about [Sami Zayn], imagine what he will do to Cena.
  • Reigns and Ambrose vs. Kane and Rollins is next. Reigns and Ambrose win via DQ when J&J interfered after Reigns pinned Rollins following a Superman Punch. The New Day run down and beat down Ambrose but Reigns takes them all out with a diving plancha. Dean and Roman clean house, leaving New Day laid out. Rollins and Kane beat down Ambrose. Rollins hits a Pedigree on Ambrose. Kane and Rollins end SmackDown to boos. Reigns got the biggest pop of the night but Ambrose was a close second.

Kevin Owens is surely getting a lot of main roster exposure, despite having the NXT Championship. It should be interesting to follow if he continues to make appearances after WWE Elimination Chamber.

Roman Reigns and Ambrose continue to team together to take out The Authority. With Reigns having no scheduled match on Sunday, could he make his presence felt?
