Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, 9.21.14: Smackdown

By @BSA1978.

Wrestling Lockup with Brandon is here again and as always it's brought to you by Triple Threat CLE. It's the last Smackdown show before this Sunday's Night of Champions special event on WWE Network. The show kicks off with a singles match between two teams that will meet at Night of Champions for the WWE World Tag Team Championship, The Usos and The Rhodes Brothers.

- Jimmy Uso (w/Jey Uso) vs Stardust (w/Goldust): Jimmy misses a super kick attempt, but rebounds and nails the second attempt on Stardust to score the pinfall. After the match, Goldust gets involved, but catches double super kicks from brothers Uso.

- Sheamus and Dolph Ziggler (w/R-Truth) vs. The Miz and Cesaro (w/Damien Sandow): R-Truth and Sandow brawl with each other on the floor. Miz nails a DDT on Sheamus and signals for the finish. Ziggler catches Miz's attention and Sheamus capitalized by hitting the "Brogue Kick" on Miz. Sheamus covers and scores the pinfall.

- Heath Slater (w/Titus O'Neil) vs Adam Rose (w/The Exotic Express): Rose gets his ankle grabbed by O'Neil which angers The Bunny. The Bunny suicide dives over the ropes and takes out O'Neil. A "Party Foul" on Slater and Rose scores the pinfall.

- "Six Man Tag Match": Big Show and Los Matadores vs. The Wyatt Family: Big Show and Rowan brawl on the floor. Diego takes Harper out on the floor with a suicide dive. Diego slides back into the ring and walks right into "Sister Abigail" from Bray Wyatt. Bray covers and scores the pinfall.

- Backstage Promo with Roman Reigns: Says he'll defeat Rusev tonight in the main event and will defeat Seth Rollins at Night of Champions just like he did on RAW.

- Paige vs Nikki Bella: A.J. Punk....I mean A.J. Lee is on commentary tonight for this match. Paige hits the "Paige-Turner" on Nikki to score the pinfall. After the match, A.J. grabs Paige's Divas Championship and goes to deliver it to Paige. Nikki grabs the title and lays both Divas out with it, sending a message to them for their triple threat match at Night of Champions.

- Jack Swagger (w/Zeb Colter) vs. Bo Dallas: Dallas delivers a "Bo-Dog" on Swagger and scores the pinfall. After the match, Dallas grabs a mic and it's promo time. Dallas makes fun of Swagger for following Zeb Colter. Dallas is about to deliver his inspirational "Bo-Lieve" line when Swagger kicks Dallas, sending Dallas rolling to the floor.

- Backstage Promo with Mark Henry: Says he feels good about his match with Rusev at Night of Champions. Beating Rusev will be redemption for when he lost to a Russian in the 92' Olympics.

- Roman Reigns vs. Rusev (w/Lana): Reigns sets Rusev up for the "Superman Punch" but Seth Rollins appears at ringside for the distraction. Rusev hits Reigns from behind and goes for "The Accolade". Reigns escapes as Rollins climbs the top rope, briefcase in hand, and leaps off at Reigns. Reigns moves causing Rollins to hit Rusev with the briefcase and getting Reigns DQ'ed. After the match Reigns and Rollins brawl into the crowd as Rusev and Lana celebrate in the ring. Mark Henry hits the ring as the U.S. Flag drops from the rafters. Rusev and Henry charge at each other. Henry lifts Rusev and plants him with the "World's Strongest Slam" as Smackdown comes to an end.
