WWE SmackDown returns to SyFy this coming Friday night (Aug. 8, 2014) from Laredo, Texas but the show was taped, as usual, on Tuesday night. That means full spoilers are readily available if you're the impatient type who doesn't want to wait a couple days for the payoff.
Unwrap that present early:
For whatever reason, the spoilers have been slow to leak out of the Rio Grande. This is a bare bones report - we'll update throughout the day as more detail and information rolls out.
Our first update are the italicized matches below.
- Dean Ambrose opens with a promo before Seth Rollins comes out. Ambrose chooses the stipulation for their match at SummerSlam: LUMBERJACK! I'll let you decide if that makes any sense.
- Seth retorts by telling the Lunatic Fringe that he has a match tonight against...Randy Orton.
- Sin Cara (no word on if he's wearing his tie-dyed pants) defeated Damien Sandow (no word at this time what character he was playing).
- Seth Rollins defeated Dolph Ziggler
- Paige beat Natalya
- Rybaxel beat Goldust & Stardust
- Chris Jericho spoke on Bray Wyatt and SummerSlam. Ah-gayn.
- Ambrose vs. Orton ended in...you guessed it...a no contest when Rollins ran-in. The show ended on a brawl between at least those three. Hopefully Reigns ran in to deal with his pay-per-view (PPV) dance partner.
That's the show (so far), folks. Your thoughts?
