\nMatch #1: Tag Team Match
\nThe Usos v Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode
\nThis match starts as they get back from commercial.
\nThese two teams work so well against each other. It’s a pleasure to watch.
\nBest part of this match was that Dolph Ziggler didn’t get to use his awful super kick.
\nMatch End: The Usos win after pinning Robert Roode
\nUp next they’re going to show everyone how embarrassing watching WWE can be as they recap the dog food match from last week.
\nDuring the recap King Corbin marches into the production trailer. He assaults the guy who played the recap tape.
\nLadies and Gentlemen….Elias.
\nElias is playing guitar and playing to the crowd before his fight with Cesaro.
\nElias begins to play his song “Third Time’s a Charm” but is quickly cut off by Cesaro and Sami Zayn.
\nSami has a microphone and the crowd boos the hell out of him. Sami says Elias is going to pay for interrupting him last week by facing Cesaro. Hype.
\nMatch #2: Singles Match
\nElias v Cesaro w\/Sami Zayn
\nOverall Sami Zayn is one of the best parts of watching SmackDown each week. This week is no different.
\nMeanwhile, Cesaro and Elias are having a heck of a match. Loving that both are getting some time here this week.
\nMatch End: Elias pins Cesaro after his “Macho Man Flying Elbow Drop”
\nBefore heading to commercial they show Goldberg getting ready in his garage. He’s sitting on his bowflex between two cars. Boss.
\nBefore they throw to Goldberg, King Corbin comes out and starts yelling at everyone about listening to him. Of course he gets some cheap heat by saying something about the Super Bowl. Then he calls out Roman Reigns…again…because this isn’t getting old at all.
\nCorbin pours water all over a “fan” and that brings out Roman. He beats on Corbin until Corbin runs away. Roman grabs a mic and calls him a coward, then accepts his challenge. They’ll fight in a steel cage! Nice!
\nGoldberg Announcement
\nSimple question from Michael Cole. Who’s next?
\nGoldberg isn’t wasting time here…says he got the itch by watching Royal Rumble.
\nHe wants another shot at winning the Universal Championship.
\nHe’s interrupted by The Firefly Fun House. Bray accepts his challenge in a breaking news style segment.
\nGoldberg isn’t having any of this and he yells at Bray YOU’RE NEXT!
\nBray ends the segment by waving goodbye to Bill. End Segment
\nBackstage:Daniel Bryan was watching the show and he’s upset. Heath Slater offers up some “advice” and goes way too far trying to comfort Daniel. Daniel challenges him to a match right now. Then walks to the ring.
\nMatch #3: Singles Match
\nDaniel Bryan v Heath Slater
\nNow that two members of 3MB have won major matches, it’s time for Heath Slater to get some traction.
\nDaniel Bryan straight up assaults Slater in this one. It’s brutal.
\nMatch End: The ref saves Heath’s life and stops the match awarding the win to Daniel Bryan
\nRecap of Braun Strowman winning the Intercontinental Championship last week. His first singles championship in WWE.
\nIn Ring Interview
\nRene Young interviews Braun Strowman tonight.
\nRene: “How does it feel to hold this championship in your hands?”
\nBraun: “I still get chills thinking about it.”
\nHe goes over his accomplishments in WWE up until now, but he’s most proud of winning a singles title.
\nShinsuke Nakamura’s music hits and Sami Zayn demands a rematch for Nakamura…but not here tonight. They want their rematch at…
\nThe Revivial attack Strowman from behind, then Nakamura joins the beat down, but Strowman wakes up and lays them all out before chasing Sami Around the ring.
\nNakamura flattens Strowman with a Kinshasa! This isn’t going anywhere and I’m all for it!
\nSegment End
\nBackstage:Otis is getting ready for his big date with Mandy Rose on Valentine’s Day!
\nIT’S A 80’S MOVIE STYLE MONTAGE!!!
\nOtis is so ready for this date! Get it Otis!
\nMatch #4: Singles Match
\nApollo Crews v Sheamus
\nThis one ends as I typed the versus part of the above.
\nMarch End: Sheamus wins
\nChad Gable runs down after the match and gets his face kicked off as well. That should kill this feud, but it won’t.
\nMain Event: Fatal Four Way Match Winner Faces Bayley for the SmackDown Woman’s Championship
\nCarmella v Naomi v Alexa Bliss v Dana Brooke
\nSmackDown Woman’s Champion Bayley is at ringside for this match.
\nEveryone is in the ring ready for the match during the commercial break and Super Showdown preview. Then Naomi gets her full entrance….because she’s going to win the match obviously.
\nThe match starts to get going and they cut to commercial already. They spent more time hyping Super Showdown then they did on this main event so far.
\nThey come back from break and the match looks like it’s in slow motion.
\nI don’t want to be overly critical here, but this match was BAD.
\nThe crowd didn’t help anything here with their silence. It’s so quiet you can hear the ref calling spots and time. Yikes.
\nCarmella breaks up a pin attempt by Naomi and super kicks her a few times. She goes for the pin on Naomi and gets it! Nice swerve with the full entrance on this one.
\nMatch End: Carmella wins and will face Bayley for the SmackDown Woman’s Championship
\nBayley jumps Carmella right after the bell rings and then heads up the ramp to end the show…thankfully.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
