SmackDown Live *SPOILERS* WWE SmackDown Tapings for 5/23/14

[Dale]

SmackDown opens with Hulk Hogan coming out to a huge pop. Hogan talks about the WWE Network coming to the UK. Jimmy Hart was in the ring with Hogan.

* Announced for tonight is The Usos vs. Erick Rowan and Luke Harper plus Dolph Ziggler vs. Batista in a No DQ match.

* Batista defeated Dolph Ziggler in a lengthy No DQ match.

* Cameron and Naomi defeated Eva Marie and Nikki Bella when special referee Summer Rae cost Eva the match.

* Bo Dallas makes his re-debut on SmackDown and comes out for a "cheesy heel promo" in the ring. He goes on to defeat Sin Cara in under 4 minutes. Bo is now using Stratusfaction as his finisher.

* Bray Wyatt comes with The Wyatt Family. Bray cuts another great promo on John Cena and Payback.

* Sheamus vs. Alberto Del Rio is next. Cesaro is on commentary. Sheamus gets the win in what was described as a good back and forth match.

* Vickie Guerrero comes out to the ring to big heat. She's interrupted by Adam Rose and the Rosebuds. They dance their way to the ring but only Rose enters. Rose tells Vickie not to be a lemon, but to be a Rosebud. This segment was described as fun and our correspondent said Vickie played along.

* John Cena is out with The Usos for their main event. Bray Wyatt is out with Erick Rowan and Luke Harper. The Usos get the win in a 10 minute match. Our correspondent noted that the match had a bad ending. The Wyatt Family ended up taking The Usos out and beating Cena down to end SmackDown.

Doesn't seem like there's anything great on here but I might check out the Bo debut.

Nothing special here. Pretty sad when Bo is apparently the stand out of a show.

 

[Twitchy]

Why is Batista facing Dolph? Meh, smackdown is usually just a recap of raw anyhow.

Dave probably likes him, been working together numerous times on Smackdown already.

Fan of the GSP post win, talk up to the opponnent.

Smart call of WWE using Hogan in the UK. Hope that segment didn't drag on too much though.

Not much to see here, but might check out the Bo segment as I have not seen much of him.

 

[ThatGuyFromNukemHigh]

Hogan segment was good length, not too long that it dragged on, not too short that it underplayed the announcement(although they did not give a date).

Batista/Ziggler was shockingly good. One of the better matches I have seen on SD! in a long time.
