Wyatt’s Spooky Adventure
Wyatt is walking backstage, talking about how Orton’s time is coming. Weird.
Alexa Bliss vs Nikki Bella
Result: No Contest
Both of these women have big matches coming up at No Mercy. Bliss challengers Becky Lynch for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, her first crack at the new belt. Bella has a big match coming up against Carmella, who has been vicious in her attacks of the longest reigning WWE Divas Champion.
Carmella is on commentary, and when the match spills outside she calls Thirsty Kardashian Wannabe. That leads to Bella tossing Bliss into Carmella of course.
Nikki has Bliss up for her finisher, and Carmella interferes. That draws out the champ, Becky Lynch to come support Nikki Bella.
Teddy Long alert: we’ve got a tag team match, playa!
Alexa Bliss & Carmella vs Nikki Bella & Becky Lynch
Result: Bliss and Carmella def. Bella and Lynch (Twisted Bliss)
Rating: 2.75 out of 5 stars
Nikki Bella gets worked over by the two women SmackDown Live picked from NXT during the draft. After Carmella misses a Bronco Buster, Bella gets the hot tag to Lynch.
Two BexPlexes catch Bliss, and a diving forearm off the apron flattens the #1 Contender on the outside.
Carmella and Bliss work to take out Lynch with a super kick, before Bella chases Carmella back to the back after a spear. Bliss hits Twisted Bliss on Lynch and gets the pinfall. She pinned the champ before No Mercy! Bliss looking strong!
Why does music always hit when wrestlers make the save? How on the ball are the music people in WWE?
