Happy New Year everyone and welcome to another edition of Wrestling Lockup with Brandon, brought to you by Triple Threat CLE. Today's edition is your Smackdown recap from last night's show. Smackdown took place in Laredo, Texas. How would Smackdown fair this week without Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback on the card, after being fired on RAW by The Authority? Seth Rollins is all smiles after RAW, as he is not only the current Mr. Money In The Bank, but he also gets a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Royal Rumble. The road to the Rumble continues, let's get to the Smackdown recap.
- In Ring Segment with Seth Rollins and The Stooges: Rollins, Mercury and Noble kicked off Smackdown inside the ring. Rollins brags about forcing John Cena to bring back The Authority, brags about being added to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match at Royal Rumble and gets a ten bell salute started for Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback's firing. Roman Reigns cuts off the ten bell salute with a mic in hand. Reigns makes fun of Rollins and says he's going to kick his ass. Reigns drops Rollins then tosses Mercury and Noble on the floor. Corporate Kane and Big Show come out next. Kane announces Seth Rollins and Big Show vs. Roman Reigns and a partner of Reigns choosing, if he can find one. Show threatens to knock Reigns out tonight.
- Big E vs. Adam Rose: Rose lands some shots on Big E. Big E takes Rose down then hits a splash. Big E goes for the "Big Ending" but Rose counters out of it and hits a huge DDT on Big E. Rose scores a near fall and gets angry that he didn't get the pinfall. Angry Rose connects with more blows on Big E before running the ropes. Big E catches Rose on the rebound and lays Rose out with the "Big Ending". Big E covers and scores the pinfall.
- The Ascension vs. Two Local Wrestlers: The Ascension do their usual shtick. They cut a promo bashing past tag teams and make themselves out as the superior. The Ascension go on to squash the two local guys and hit the "Fall of Man" for the pinfall.
- Alicia Fox vs. Naomi: Usual short Divas match. Fox with some shots on Naomi. Naomi gets in a snapmare, a slam and a monkey flip into the corner on Fox. Naomi charges at Fox but Fox leaps over Naomi and rolls Naomi up. Fox uses the ropes for leverage and steals the pinfall on Naomi.
- "WWE World Tag Team Championship, Triple Threat Match": The Usos (c) vs. The Miz and Damien Sandow vs. Goldust and Stardust: Elbow drops by The Usos on Stardust. Goldust with a cheap shot on Jimmy. Goldust, Miz and Sandow end up on the floor and Jey flies over the ropes taking the trio out. Stardust hits the "Falling Star" onto the floor next and takes everyone out. Later in the match, Jey connects with the samoan drop and Miz goes for the "Skull Crushing Finale". Goldust intervened and dropped Miz with the "Final Cut". Jimmy tosses Goldust into Stardust, taking both men out. Jimmy climbs the ropes and hits the "Superfly Splash" and scores the pinfall. The Usos retain the WWE World Tag Team Championship.
- Bad News Barrett vs. Sin Cara: One half of the NXT World Tag Team Champions, Sin Cara, makes his return to Smackdown to face the leader of the "Barrett Barrage". Barrett lands kicks and slams Cara into the corner. Barrett hits the "Winds of Change" then goes for "Wasteland". Cara counters and kicks Barrett in the head. Cara hits a senton splash off the top rope and scores the pinfall on Barrett. After the match, Barrett lays Cara out with the "Bullhammer".
- Big Show and Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns and ???: All three men are in the ring and it looks as if Reigns couldn't find a partner. Dean Ambrose's music hits and out comes the "Lunatic Fringe". Ambrose joins forces with his former Shield brother, Reigns, and we have ourselves a tag team match now. Ambrose beats Rollins around at the opening bell, forcing Rollins and Show to regroup. The referee gets distracted as Mercury and Noble toss Ambrose into the barricade. Show goes for the choke slam but Ambrose counters, hits a tornado DDT on Show then hot tags Reigns in. Reigns hits a series of clotheslines on Rollins then goes for the "Superman Punch". Kane gets on the apron but gets Rollins thrown into him. Reigns hits "Superman Punches" on Mercury and Noble but Reigns gets choke slammed by Show, after. Ambrose goes up top and leaps off, splashing everyone down on the floor. Rollins goes for the "Curb Stomp" on Reigns but Reigns dodges it. Reigns hits Rollins with the spear, covers and scores the pinfall. Smackdown closes out with Reigns and Ambrose celebrating.
And that's this week's Smackdown. Have a great weekend, till next time, tap or snap.
