Isenberg Reacts: WWE Smackdown “New Champions Are Needed on Sunday”

The Lucha Dragons defeated Kidd and Cesaro

wwe smackdownAll of the other tag teams involved in the Elimination Chamber match on Sunday are Lumberjacks. Kidd and Sin Cara kick things off. Cara gets tossed to the outside and Kidd hits an elbow. Cesaro gets the tag, quick cover and a kick out. He applies a leg lock, but Kalisto gets the tag and tosses Cesaro over the ropes. Cesaro clotheslines him and then gets kicked in the face. After a reversal, Cesaro lifts him in the air and Kidd goes up top. Suplex, with an aid from Kidd on the ropes, for a two count. Kalisto hits a few kicks and Cara wrenches Kidd’s arm. Tyson flips over the rope and hits a big kick. Los Matadores toss him back into the ring and Lucha hits a dropkick, backbreaker combination.

Kalisto catches Kidd with a hurricanranna, while Cesaro glares at The New Day as Smackdown heads to a break. Cesaro tosses Kalisto to the outside and Kalisto kicks him in the face. Kalisto reverses Cesaro, kicks Cesaro in the back and then Cara gets the tag. He picks up the pace and hits a hurricanranna. Cesaro gets the tag and throws Cara in the corner with uppercuts over and over and over again. Sin Cara tries a quick rollup, but he hits Cesaro with a spinning side slam. Kalisto is back in and hits a corkscrew dive. He bounces off the ropes and hits another kick for a two count. Cesaro reverses Kalisto and he rolls to the outside. PTP throw him back into the ring and here comes Kidd. He hits an elbow drop from the rope and gets a two count.

Cesaro breaks up a two count and then gets spilled to the outside. Tyson locks in the Sharpshooter in the middle of the ring. Sin Cara breaks up the submission and Cesaro hits a superkick before getting thrown over the ropes onto the Lumberjacks. Kidd gets distracted by The New Day. Kalisto hits his finisher for the win.

Exciting tag team match to kick off Smackdown’s wrestling part of the show. I felt like this was a really timely match, giving it two full segments of work. Cesaro and Kidd have the same mentality in the ring, making sure to execute to perfection. With their timing and the speed and athleticism of Lucha Dragons, they brought the best out in one another.
