Randy Orton comes out next to address the WWE Universe about the situation with Roman Reigns. By situation, he means where he beat the hell out of Reigns this past Monday because the previous week on Raw, Reigns attacked him when he was announced as the number one contender. To be fair, I have to thank Roman for saving all of us from the torture of John Cena vs. Randy Orton again.He basically claims that "The Viper" is back, which, again, is better than the weak stooge that the's been playing. He dares Roman Reigns to face him at SummerSlam as it looks like the card continues to shape up.
Rematch time as Bo Dallas gets a chance to avenge his first ever loss when he takes on R-Truth. Things are different this time around though because Bo Dallas does not get pinned. Instead, he's so infuriated that Truth ended his streak on Raw that he attacks him and won't let up, causing the referee to call for the disqualification. It's an interesting step for his character, which he continues to nail night in and night out. I'm looking forward to seeing what's next.
Rosa Mendes is being added to Season 3 of Total Divas for some stupid reason. So the WWE has to give her TV time, which is NEVER good. She took on the Divas Champion, AJ Lee, who beat her within seconds. Seriously, just seconds. The bigger story however was Paige hitting the scene after the match and pushing AJ Lee off of the stage. As EMTs checked on her, Paige shouted that she still loves AJ and that they're all just overreacting. Paige is doing better in this role than her bland face run, but it's still not wowing me like I hoped. Still, the Divas are getting storylines and shine so I'm cool with that.
Next up, the first hour main event featured Dean Ambrose taking on Kane and Seth Rollins in a handicapped match. As with most handicap matches, this wasn't the most amazing match but with three guys who know what they're doing, it was still solid. It ends in a disqualification when Dean Ambrose finally gets a bit of revenge and hits Seth Rollins with a steel chair. He hits Kane too after the match, but Rollins retreats. I keep saying it because it's true, but Rollins and Ambrose is going to be great once it finally happens. The people are clamoring for it.
We're going to squeeze three relatively short segments into one paragraph here. First, the goddess that is Renee Young interviews Chris Jericho backstage. Jericho will meet Erick Rowan in the main event and if he wins, Rowan will be barred from ringside at SummerSlam. Next, Goldust and Stardust had, yet another weird promo. I bolieve that the cosmic key they talk about is the WWE Tag Team Titles and I would like to see them against the Usos down the line. Lastly, Diego beats Fandango again because of Summer Rae and Layla. I'm all for seeing SummerLay together often but this is getting repetitive.
The Intercontinental Champion The Miz, was out on commentary for the next match. Of course he was because the match featured Dolph Ziggler. We got Dolph vs. Alberto Del Rio in a battle of guys who won the World Heavyweight Title last year and went absolutely nowhere. But as expected with these two, the match was good. These two seemingly never have bad matches, especially against each other. Thanks to Miz getting on the microphone, Dolph got distracted and that allowed Del Rio to beat him. I'm guessing we do get Dolph vs. Miz at SummerSlam. Maybe on the Kickoff show.
Because the WWE is nearly equal parts wrestling, promos and recaps now, we have to see the recap of Brie Bella vs. Stephanie McMahon again. After that, it's main event time as Chris Jericho goes one on one with Erick Rowan. Rowan is my least favorite member of the Wyatt Family, with Luke Harper being my favorite, so I wish we got Jericho/Harper. Still though, the match was fun and Jericho won, barring Rowan from ringside at SummerSlam. A bit of a lackluster finish as I think the Ambrose handicap match should've gone on last, but it still a good episode of Smackdown.
