WWE SMACKDOWN RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR OCT. 19
Nolan in.
Broadcast is live from Memphis, Tennessee.
Miz TV is kicking us off. He tells us that he has lost his IC title and that Kofi needs to cherish this title reign, as it will be very short. Miz is invoking his rematch clause. He says that he is going to show Kofi why he is must-see.
That makes Miz vs. Kofi at Hell in a Cell.
He says that tonight's guests are Team Hell No.
Enter Daniel Bryan.
And enter Kane.
Miz is surprised by the separate entrances, saying they aren't a true team and that they are egomaniacs.
Kane starts to talk, but Daniel Bryan says that he has this. He threatens to separate Miz's teeth from his mouth. Miz asks, "really?" He wonders why a guy with a goat face is giving him appearance advice, saying his friends at the petting zoo must love him.
Regardless, Miz talks about him coaching Bryan on NXT, saying that Bryan has problems getting along with people. He says that the monster with the mask is the voice of reason. He says Team Hell No will either lose to Rhodes Scholars or Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio.
Bryan begins to speak, but Kane says he has this. He says that no one cares what Miz thinks. He talks about being tag champs with Big Show, Mankind, and Undertaker himself. Kane says if Bryan is the problem, he is the solution.
Bryan says for Kane to hold the phone, but he is the reason the team will retain their titles. He says "The Devil's Favorite Demon" is nothing without "The World's Toughest Vegan."
I love you, Daniel Bryan.
Kane is dumbfounded by this statement, saying that being "The World's Toughest Vegan" is like being "The World's Tallest Dwarf," but that D-Bry has that covered, too.
Miz wants to interject, but both men tell him "NO!"
Bryan says he is not a goat face or a dwarf, but that he is a former World Heavyweight Champion. He says that he ended a giant's reign in 45 seconds. He also notes that he is the Tag Team Champions.
Kane disagrees.
Enter Big Show.
Show says that he has no problem with Kane, but his problem is with Daniel Bryan. He said that he thought he'd learn after he beat him down on Monday to shut up. He calls Bryan's victory a fluke and says nothing like that will happen again.
Big Show says that if Bryan opens his mouth again, he will knock him out. Then again, he says he can do it now.
Bryan looks scared and goes to hide behind Kane. Kane says that he might be scheduled to wrestle Big Show on Raw, but they don't have to wait.
Enter Dolph Ziggler.
Ziggler says that Bryan's MITB cash-in was so last year and his MITB briefcase is the only thing that matters. Ziggler says that Show and Sheamus will beat the hell out of each other and that he will steal the show to become World Heavyweight Champion. Ziggler says it doesn't matter who he will cash it in against, saying if Bryan can do it, it must be easy.
Bryan takes umbrage, saying that he beat Big Show. Big Show dares him to talk about the time it took Bryan to beat him. Kane begins to tell Bryan to keep his mouth shut. Miz is upset that he has lost control over his show. Show and Ziggler begin to argue.
SmackDown GM Booker T is in the building.
He says that he needs them to chill out.
Miz says that Booker is so predictable, saying that he will make a main event match between all the men in the ring, ask them if they can dig it, then leave.
Booker says he wasn't going to say that. He says he will be making two matches. Team Hell No vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big Show is announced.
