August 16, SmackDown Review

SmackDown would start off with the Wyatt family. They would come down to the ring and Brat Wyatt would cut a promo about his match with Kane. Kane would then come from behind and attack the Wyatt Family. Eventually the numbers game would catch up and the would beat up Kane and Brat Wyatt would hit his finisher on Kane. This was a good segment and did a good job hyping the match between Kane and Brat Wyatt.

The first match was Christian vs Damien Sandow. Christian was able to roll up Sandow for the win. After the match Christian would hit Sandow with a spear. Then Alberto Del Rio would come from behind and attack Christian. He would grab a microphone and tell Christian that he will not become World Heavyweight champion this Sunday. He would then go for the Cross-Arm breaker but Christian would counter it into a killswitch. The match was good and after the match did a good job hyping up their match at SummerSlam.

The next match was Kaitlyn and Natalya vs AJ and Layla. This match was pretty short. Layla would kick Kaitlyn from behind allowing AJ to hit her and get the pin. The match was ok but I wish it was alittle longer.

The next match was RVD, Big Show and Mark Henry vs The Shield. This match was good and ended with Dean Ambrose getting hit with a KO punch followed by a five-star frog splash.

The next match was the Miz vs Jack Swagger. This was a quick and pointless match. The referee would eject Cesaro and Colter and while Swagger was distracted Miz would come from behind and pin him.

The next match was Curtis Axel vs Zack Ryder. This match was short. It was nice to see Axel win a match(even if it's against Ryder) because lately he has been getting beat up by Punk during his feud with Lesnar. After the match Herman would talk about Lesnar vs Punk.

The main event of the night was Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett in a no disqualification match. The match was good. Bryan would put Barrett in a yes lock but Vince would take out the ref. Then Barrett would hit Bryan his the bull-hamer elbow and Vince would send Maddox out to make the count but Bryan would kick out. Then Bryan would take Maddox out and put Barrett through a table. Vince would then take the referee shirt and was about to enter the ring but Triple H would come out. Bryan would then hit Barrett with a flying headbutt and then Triple H made the count and Bryan won. After the match Orton would come out and stare at Bryan.

This was a good episode of SmackDown. Most of the matches were good and it did a good job hyping SummerSlam.
