Sean Ross Sappdown: Smackdown Notes, Title Match, Return, More!

Opening segment

• The Daniel Bryan – Miz non-wrestling rivalry is so fantastic. That is all.

Randy Orton defeated Luke Harper 

• This was a damn good match with an interesting story.
• This is one of the first times I've been interested in either competitor in a singles situation for a long time.
• Wyatt preventing Harper from being counted out was good. He wants them to hash it out in the ring.
• Randy Orton won with a nice RKO.
• Wyatt lands a Sister Abigail on Harper. Wondering where this goes.

Mickie James is back!

• Mickie is out with Renee Young and cuts a pretty good promo about how she felt like all her her accomplishments were negated by the "Divas Revolution."
• She says Alexa has more respect for her than any of the other women.
• Becky comes out, Alexa and Mickie jump her.
• Mickie's delivery was FANTASTIC.

Shopping Spree!! 

• I shouldn't have enjoyed this as much as I did. Sue me. Ellsworth and Carmella 4-life.

Mojo Rawley wins Royal Rumble Qualifying Battle Royal

• Who did the Vaudevillains piss off? They've been jobbed out to an extreme degree.
• Mojo Rawley was made to look really strong here. He eliminated practically everyone.
• Sure, I mean, why not?

Cena and Styles!

• These anti-Cena promos — like the agenda — were cool at first, and they're still passable, but don't have the same effect.
• Styles got to use the main event curse word.
• Cena is wack with this accent.
• Cena says he wasn't built for the indy scene. Nothing wrong with that.
• Cena pretty much shits all over AJ Styles.

Dolph Ziggler defeated Kalisto

• David Otunga is the worst. I don't think it's his fault. It's the voice in his ear.
• Ziggler hits a superkick to a springboarding Kalisto. Cool.

Naomi is back

• Naomi is back, she was supposed to fight Natalya, but NIkki is shit kicking her backstage.
• Naomi with a mic, that's gonna be bad. Alexa Bliss comes out, then backs down. I dunno.
• What was the point?

Intercontinental Championship
Lumberjack Match
Dean Ambrose (c) defeated Miz (w/Maryse)

• Another good match from the Miz. Shocker.
• Dean Ambrose really excels in Lumberjack matches.
• I thought Miz had it when Maryse held Ambrose's leg.
• Miz did a fantastic Daniel Bryan running knee! Stole Bryan's corner dropkicks, too.
• Ambrose wins after a good effort.
• Okay Smackdown, nothing great.
