Smackdown Spoilers

I realise that this is stepping on the toes of our resident results poster, fernando but hey ho!

WWE Smackdown TV Taping Results
April 28, 2015
Air date: April 30, 2015
Roman Reigns came down to kick off Smackdown and was interrupted by Kane. Kane booked a match between them, and while we’re still waiting for confirmation on what exactly happened, it appears he may have walked out in the middle of it as well.

(1) Roman Reigns def. Kane via count-out.

(2) Damien Sandow def. Curtis Axel.

(3) Ryback def. Luke Harper. Rough week for Harper, after losing to Dean Ambrose, losing clean to Neville in the King of the Ring tournament, and losing again here. The lights went out and Bray Wyatt hit the ring, laying out Ryback with Sister Abigail again.

(4) WWE Tag Team Championship Match
Cesaro & Tyson Kidd def. The New Day via DQ. Xavier Woods attacked Cesaro to cause the finish; New Day retains the titles.
-A few of the Divas were backstage making fun of Brie Bella for getting attacked by Naomi on Monday Night Raw. The Divas Champion Nikki overheard the conversation and challenged Cameron to a match.

(5) Nikki Bella def. Cameron. Rather decisively.

(6) Seth Rollins def. Dean Ambrose. This was a pretty solid main event match. Rollins did a dark promo before the match to try and draw heat from the Illinois crowd. Rollins and J&J Security beat down on Ambrose after the match until Roman Reigns made the save. The babyfaces ran them off, although it’s unclear where exactly the Smackdown taping ends.

Apparently Rollins beat Ambrose clean. Thats a feud ender right there. On Smackdown.

WWE only has 3 wrestlers it has protected over the last year or so:
- Lesnar
- Reigns
- Wyatt

Every one else on their roster they don't care if they win or lose.  So, yes a loss to Rollins is Ambrose out of the main event picture.  But WWE don't think of him as in it.  And they do need to make Rollins look stronger than he has.  

I think the thing about Ambrose is that he can be a jobber to the stars, he can lose every PPV for months on end, he can have stupid endings to his matches and he still comes out of it all relatively unscathed.

I kind of think of him as WWE's Wile E. Coyote.  Every week he loses.  Every week he is made to look silly.  But each week he is back again.  He's a cartoon character.  He's not as over as he was this time last year, because he's not been treated well enough.  But as of now, I also don't think he's fallen too far, and he is good enough that he can be elevated to the main event fairly quickly.
