It's been a LONG time since I've recapped SD - but the show has been worlds better than Raw, so what the heck. Cole lets us know that the ThunderDome is INNOVATIVE AND AWARD-WINNING before another hype video hits for Roman-Bryan. Bianca's out and does a brief intro before her hype video airs. Bianca and her SD women's title earrings cut a promo on the hottEST show on Fox. Dirty Dawgs interrupt, then the Street Profits get involved. Then Bayley. Promo parade is a perfect way to kill hype for this show.
Six person tag is up and Ford dives onto the Dawgs on the floor. Bianca takes out Dolph and then KODs Bayley before Roode eats a spinebuster and the super duper frog splash ends it. Bryan chats up an interviewer on tonight's match - which he's at peace with. Seth picks Bryan to win, leading to a Cesaro win - and thus an easier title win for him. Nia and Shayna and Reginald are backstage before Nattie and Tamina jump them in the metal pipe district. Nattie's out in tits-forward gear that looks insane. Pat says TAG TEAM SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT IS VERY DIFFERENT. Reginald gets involved and Nattie attacks, leading to Tamina not being able to do the splash. Shayna's superplex is countered by a Tamina headbutt and the splash ends it. Jesus. Booker predicts Roman for the win.
Nakamura picks Bryan to win, but if Roman wins, he'll be waiting. Rey and Dom. Dom reciting his father's WWE Accomplishments is tremendous. "TO MAKE HISTORY BY BECOMING THE FIRST-EVER FATHER-SON SMACKDOWN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS - THAT'S LEGENDARY!" E vs. Crews is up BUT FIRST WE NEED FILLER with Make a Wish and a to be fair solid E vs. Crews video. New Day picks Roman to win. E gets the abdominal stretch with the slaps. Ad for the Macho Man A&E bio on Sunday - that should do well. E BIG SPLASH gets 2. STJoe by E gets 2. E dropped on the apron and a frog splash gets 2. Schoolboy gets 2 and the Big Ending leads to an Azeez attack.
KO saves and then they beat up KO. Sami helluva kicks KO and then directs traffic. Sami grabs the belt and you can see he wants it, but he gives it up and avoids a beating. Or not - Azeez Nigerian Nails him. Cesaro accepts a Seth match next week and picks Bryan to win - and then he'll beat him for it at Backlash. Heyman hypes up that Bryan did the impossible before - but while YES he did it all before, he can't do it now. HE WILL NOT BEAT ROMAN, HE CANNOT SURVIVE THE TRIBAL CHIEF.
Bryan's out and we get a WM XXX recap. MORE PREIDCTIONS! Corbin predicts a Roman win in a reidiculous green shirt before Roman's out to a new epic theme. SHOTGUN DROPKICK TO START and then the corner yes kicks! Roman throat thrusts him down, but Bryan wants the Yes lock - and Roman nixes it. This honestly feels bigger than the WM match did - and I think it's because this is far more focused of a build. MONSTER lariat by Roman leads to a flip sell and a big knee to the jaw. Bryan wants a rana off the second rope, BUT A REIGNS POWERBOMB GETS 2.
Super back suplex gets 2 for Bryan. Bryan eats an overhead belly to belly on the floor! Roman wants a spear through the barricade, but it misses! Bryan goes up for a diving headbutt and it gets 2! Superman punch gets 2! SPEAR BUT A BRYAN SMALL PACKAGE GETS 2! KNEE PLUS GETS 2 DUE TO THE ROPE! ARM TRAPPED STOMPS BY BRYAN! YES LOCK IS ON! Roman turns it into a cradle for 2 and then a spear gets 2.5! Roman eats another yes lock, but Roman gets the mounted elbows to the back of the head and a Rampage bomb! Front choke is locked on and ROMAN WINS BY PASSOUT. Fantastic match. He wants a conchairto, but CESARO SAVES AND BEATS UP ROMAN! But Jey's out and traps him to make him watch the conchairto! Tremendous night of action overall.
