Welcome back to another Saturday Smackdown recap of Wrestling Lockup with Brandon. Last night's Smackdown served as the last Smackdown before WWE Extreme Rules which takes place this Sunday May, 4th. Smackdown took place this week in Kansas City, Missouri. The main event of the show was announced on Main Event on WWE Network. Dean Ambrose would be defending his WWE United States Championship in a "Fatal Four Way Match" against Ryback, Curtis Axel and Alberto Del Rio. What's weird is this match was originally advertised as a 3 on 1 Handicap Match. Not sure if this was an error to begin with by WWE or if they just had no clue how to script it, causing the match stipulation change. Final buildup to the pay per view was mostly what last night's show was about. Nothing big really took place, just final matches before the big show Sunday for the wrestlers competing at Extreme Rules. Let's get the recap started shall we?!
Highlights of Smackdown:
- WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan, cut one last promo on Kane, his opponent at Extreme Rules. Bryan says he'll make Kane pay for putting his hands on his wife, Brie Bella and take him straight to hell personally. Kane interrupts with fire pyro and cuts a promo on Bryan on the TitanTron. Kane says he likes hell and will give Bryan the tour when they get there together. #devilsfavoritedemon #yesmovement
- The Wyatt Family were victorious in their match, Bray Wyatt looks ahead to meet John Cena at Extreme Rules in the Steel Cage. #followthebuzzards
- Big E squared off with Titus O'Neil, as he prepped for his IC Title defense Sunday against Bad News Barrett.
- RVD, Cesaro and Jack Swagger continued their feud that will take place at Extreme Rules.
- Alexander Rusev continued his mission to destroy R-Truth and Xavier Woods.
- A contract signing took place for the first ever "WEE-L-C Match" between Hornswoggle and El Torito. The match will kick off the WWE Extreme Rules pre-show at 7:30pm. I'm assuming this will me a midget wrestlers version of a "T-L-C Match" involving tables, ladders and chairs? Guess we'll have to tune in on the pre-show and find out.
- Dean Ambrose successfully defended his WWE United States Championship in the fatal four way main event. The Shield sent a final warning to Evolution as they triple powerbombed Ryback to close the show. #houndsofjustice
