Title This: WWE Smackdown Reaction “Last Stop Before SummerSlam Falls Short”

August 16, 2014

Jack Swagger defeated Bo Dallas

Bo Dallas takes down Swagger, but Swagger quickly rolls him over and locks in the Patriot Lock.

I am not sure why WWE gave Swagger a guy like Bo Dallas. I would have rather seen him compete in a longer match with a guy a similar size of Rusev. Lana comes out and tells everyone to shut up. She talks about how they will dedicate their match and their win to Putin.

Thankfully, Lana and Rusev saved this segment from completely bombing. There is nothing else more to get out of this feud before SummerSlam. Simple, logical and the facial expressions of both men were on point.

MizTV With Roman Reigns

The Miz brings out Roman Reigns to talk about his match with Randy Orton. He talks if Reigns loses, he would not be able to rise to the occasion. He keeps cutting off Roman Reigns before he can get a sentence out. The Miz keeps cutting him off and says he is in movies and headlining WrestleMania. Reigns punched Miz and is sent to the outside. This sets up a main event for later tonight.

Roman Reigns defeated The Miz

Both men circle around the ring, as The Miz backs off a few times to save his face. Miz kicks him in the knees and goes for a clothesline, but Reigns blocks it before Miz slams his knee into the ringpost. Miz puts him in a Figure Four but Reigns kicks him back and hits a Samoan drop. Roman Reigns hits his kick from the outside. As Reigns tries to finish him off, Dolph Ziggler comes out and cuts off the IC Champ. Roman Reigns hits a Superman Punch and then throws him into the ring for a Spear. Reigns stands tall and is ready for Orton.

Could we not have Randy Orton come out and get the upper hand? Obviously, he is the underdog and nobody expects him to win. I did like how Ziggler and Miz were featured in the main event as well. Not bad, but could have been better.
