SmackDown Live Smackdown 30/5/14

[Andrew]

* The Shield kicks off SmackDown with a promo on Evolution and Payback. Roman Reigns says Evolution will pay for putting him through the table on RAW.

* Cesaro vs. Kofi Kingston is next. Cesaro came out to a big pop with Paul Heyman. Cesaro gets the win and attacks Kofi after the match, hitting him with the Neutralizer while Heyman cheered him on.

* Paige vs. Tamina Snuka in a non-title match is next. Paige gets the win with her Scorpion Crosslock. Alicia Fox came out during the match and taunted Paige with the Divas Title belt. She tried to distract Paige to allow Tamina to get the win but it backfired.

* Xavier Woods vs. Bo Dallas is next. Bo comes out and cuts another cheesy promo about Bo-lieving. Bo gets the win with the Bo-dog.

* Los Matadores, El Torito, 3MB and Hornswoggle are out next. The match is Jinder Mahal vs. El Torito. Torito, without his tail still, gets the win.

* Jimmy Uso vs. Bray Wyatt in a Last Man Standing match will take place later.

* Paul Heyman comes out and reminds us that Brock Lesnar ended The Undertaker's Streak. Heyman joins commentary as Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett and United States Champion Sheamus come out for their match. This match was described as a must-see brawl. There were big "Let's go Sheamus, Bad News Barrett" dueling chants. Sheamus got the win after a finishing sequence that was described as "amazing."

* Big E came out with an American flag and squashed Titus O'Neil. Before they began, Lana interrupted and cut a promo on Big E and America. They got huge heel heat and USA chants, according to our correspondent. She and Rusev watched the match from ringside.

* Adam Rose came out to his biggest pop yet, except for the UK, according to our correspondent. Rose went on to defeat Jack Swagger in a match and taunt Zeb Colter some more.

* Bray Wyatt vs. Jimmy Uso in a Last Man Standing match is next. This match gets the first CM Punk chants of the night. This was described as a good physical match. Wyatt destroyed Uso in front of the announce table and got the win to end SmackDown.

Looks like a good go home show. Will be watching.

A Last Man Standing match on SD? Wowsas.

Disappointed that theres no Shield retaliation which means that Evolution is probably jobbing to them again at the PPV.

Kofi is on such a terrible run, even for his standards

Think i'll just look for the BNB/Sheamus segment, rest of the show sounds kinda uninteresting tbh.

 

[Crippler]

Really looking forward to the BNB/Sheamus match now.

Theres only so many unique things he can do. Idk, there doesnt really seem to be a place for the high flyers any more. Not sure why...

Because nobody pays to see "high flyers" with zero personality. Nobody cared about boring ass Evan Bourne who just smiled and had no edge to him. Same with Kofi, he is just there,

 

[Twitchy]

True, the only one I can think of even remotely exciting is Rollins.

 

[Keith]

Kofi has been very over during his WWE's run. Maybe he doesn't have it to be much more than a mid-carder, but it is true than WWE booking have run out of ideas for him.

This looks a decent SD.

Would say than this week SD laid the Smackdown on Raw!
