Title This: WWE Smackdown Reaction “The Shield as Faces Will Work, For Now”

The Main Events

wwe smackdown reactionMizTV is with Big Show. The Miz introduces a ton of guys that will be in the "Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal." Out comes a ton of guys and Sheamus comes out with a microphone. Sheamus says he wants to fight and The Miz says they need to hold up. Miz says they should take out the biggest threat. All of the guys attack Big Show, but then spread apart. All hell breaks loose and guys are tosses left and right. Sheamus knocks out Big E and it finally gets down to Sheamus and Big Show. They fight and hit multiple strikes to the chest. Sheamus knocks down Show and tries a Brogue Kick. Both men are on the apron and The Miz comes in and tries to sneak attack. Big Show clears the ring and stands tall.

Reaction: This was a fun segment to get the fans to think the battle royal will be extremely important. I thought all of the guys coming out was a good touch and that WWE did a smart thing in giving Big Show the pop. He is the biggest and has been the one to be compared to Andre. WWE needs to pair off the feuds for the next two weeks and give more spotlight to the match. Even though I prefer a Money in the Bank or some other type of stipulation match, WWE could do right in the way they build and execute the match. Time will tell. This was a step in the right direction for many WWE talents.

Score: 6.5/10

John Cena defeated Luke Harper

Harper starts with big punches and shots to Cena's chest. Harper hits an uppercut and is in full control. Cena gets his offense going with a suplex and hits a 5 Knuckle Shuffle. Harper hits a massive boot to his face for a two count. Cena locks in the STF, but Harper bit his arm. Cena gets taken down by another big slam by Harper. Lastly, Cena hits a hurricanranna and Harper hits a body slam. John Cena wins with an Attitude Adjustment.

Reaction: The match was shorter than usual, but it contained a lot of action. Harper looked really good and Cena wins. The minds games continue, as John Cena escapes from the ring before The Wyatt Family can attack. Wyatt laughs and mocks Cena. I liked the match and liked how they did not need to do too much on Smackdown. The feud is carrying much of the show and is going to be interesting to see how much better it gets for the next two weeks.

Score: 7/10
