WWE taped this week’s episode of Smackdown from Wilkes-Barre, PA. It will air this Friday night on SyFy.
(1) The Usos, Mark Henry & Big Show def. Eric Rowan, Luke Harper, Goldust & Stardust in the Smackdown opener.
(2) Bo Dallas def. Justin Gabriel in what was basically a squash match over a 3-time WWE tag champion. Jack Swagger came out to distract Bo, who still got the win with the BoDog anyways.
(3) Divas Champion Paige def. Summer Rae in a non-title match. AJ Lee was on commentary for the match, so Paige used the Black Widow submission to win.
-Mark Henry, who had already competed earlier in the evening, came out and had an International Arm Wrestling contest with Rusev, who was accompanied as usual by Lana. Henry won at first, but agreed to a rematch. Lana threw some powder in his face, giving Rusev the win.
(4) Dolph Ziggler & R-Truth def. The Miz & Damien Sandow. Looks like Truth is back in action after a brief time off. Sandow is still doing the MizDow gimmick.
(5) Chris Jericho & Roman Reigns def. Randy Orton & Seth Rollins. This was the main event for the night. Orton tried for his DDT, but Jericho rolled him up and won the match. The babyfaces celebrated to end Smackdown.
