WWE Smackdown Results (4/23) – Neville Shines, Ryback vs Rusev, Reigns/Ambrose Reunite!

Dolph Ziggler & Neville vs Bad News Barrett & Sheamus 

Dolph and Neville clear the ring early, and Neville splashes both opponents on the floor as we go to a break. We get back from a break to see Dolph connect with a dropkick, then Wade hits Wasteland before Dolph comes back with a DDT. He counters Winds of Change and makes a tag, then Wade runs in and Dolph hits a Zig Zag. Wade doesn’t see the tag was made, and Neville hits Red Arrow for the win. 

Winners – Dolph Ziggler & Neville 

Natalya vs Naomi

Nattie hits a few legsweep slams and some punches, then Naomi kicks her in the face and slingshots Nattie into the ropes. Naomi counters a whip with a kick from the apron, then Nattie reverses a rollup and goes for a Sharpshooter. Naomi slaps her and slams her into the turnbuckles, then follows with Rear View for the win. 

Winner – Naomi 

BP: It’s hard for me to classify Naomi as a heel; I see her more as a tweener, especially since the Bellas have been heel so long. I’m excited they are pushing her after hearing so much about her in developmental, and the dead weight of Cameron isn’t holding her back. 

Ryback vs Rusev (w/ Lana)

Ryback and Rusev trade punches before Ryback slams him down, then Ryback follows with a vertical suplex. Rusev slams him into the ringpost, then he throws him into the apron as we go to a break. We get back from a break to see Ryback break a bearhug with some headbutts, then Ryback kicks Rusev and knocks him down with some shoulder blocks. Ryback suplexes him and goes for a splash, but Rusev gets his knees up and charges the corner. Ryback kicks him back and powerslams him for two, then he blocks a kick and hits a spinebuster. Ryback connects with a Meathook for two, then he calls for Shell Shocked but Rusev rolls outside. Ryback chases him, but Rusev grabs his steel chain and hits Ryback in the stomach and gets disqualified. Rusev wraps it around his fist and knocks Ryback out and puts him in the Accolade, then gets in the ring and taunts the crowd.

Winner (by disqualification) – Ryback
