If I remember correctly, I wondered last week if it was even worth teasing Daniel Bryan. Let the champion take his arrogance and superior attitude to a whole new level.
Guys! They did the thing! They created a brand new championship for Bryan from organic materials!
Bryan came to close the show to congratulate the fans. At Royal Rumble, they all won. Do you know why? Because Bryan won. Bryan's victory was a victory for the fans, for their children, for their children, for all sentient beings … because he is the champion of the planet.
Good grief, man. It's a way to wear it.
Bryan introduced his "intellectual peer" Erick Rowan – a beautiful Alestrom shirt, Rowan! – and scolded the crowd for not encouraging more. According to Bryan, none of us can see past Rowan's dirty nails and see the intellect inside. Because we are unstable or whatever.
The crowd left him there. When Bryan started telling a story about the WWE Championship and naming the dead cow for his "Daisy" creation, the crowd did everything in their power to reject it. This is a fantastic sign of Bryan's hateworthiness that a crowd would want to make him suffer. And you could see the slightest hint of annoyance on his face before five wrestlers interrupted him: AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy, Mustafa Ali, and Samoa Joe.
Oh wow. Just what you needed for a game of the elimination room.
It was almost an episode of SmackDown. Congratulate Joe for the verbal flame that he has also given to everyone.
Naka-Rusev's day?
So uh … who had R-Truth become the US champion in the Cageside betting pool?
After his Rusev defeat at Royal Rumble, Shinsuke Nakamura was in our first game of the night – apparently in a quick resume-building match against R-Truth. It was a fairly ordinary match until Truth opposed an attempt to roll … and to victory .
At a second glance, it looked like an almost trivial fall in a game. Nakamura broke the bug attempt at 2, but apparently, he never took off his shoulders. The referee counted three and we had a new champion.
Rusev suddenly came out and, just like Elias on Raw, he abruptly turned his heel. Apparently, R-Truth was not good enough to be an American champion. Rusev challenged the truth to a match – and he lost too! Nakamura and Rusev, furious at their humiliation, teamed up to strike the truth after the bell. The Good Brothers came to confront Rusev in the locker room and accused him of having treated the truth badly. They challenged Rusev and Nakamura to a match that will likely take place next week.
It's crazy how fast WWE has moved these two types out of the image of the US title. and you know what? I do not hate him. Suddenly, the title image of the United States is cleared, which could give Samoa Joe or Mustafa Ali a first title. Maybe even a beginner in EC3?
Adding Rusev and Nakamura to an already stacked team division should also allow us to secure other great matches. Besides … it was not like they were torn apart with their quarrel, right?
In all, I am cautiously optimistic. If it's nothing else, I think the American title needs to be reset.
The rest of SmackDown Live:
Andrade makes fun of Edie, jokes Rey Mysterio – I like that the WWE wants to let Andrade be a little upset. Eddie's stuff, but this segment did not really hit home as well as it could have. Andrade has all the arrogance of the world, but you must understand what I mean.
Charlotte wants all the credit – Charlotte is salty like a heck, guys. Becky Lynch hit her again at Rumble and, apparently, Charlotte overcame her disappointment by boasting of Lynch's success.
Lynch's sucker struck her as an answer, which led to a fight, but the story here is that Lynch's leg was badly damaged.
Mandy Rose still hates Naomi – The story of that Rose sob was … something, was not it? I'm still not sure of loving or hating him. In any case, she was incredibly petty for having made a moderate comment that Naomi did for four years on Tough Enough and using it as a motivation to ruin Naomi's life. I imagine that Naomi finds a partner for the match of Elimination Chamber
Miz and Shane McMahon celebrate – This really depressed me. I know Miz made sure his father was not proud of his father … but I did not really need to see him on TV, you see? It's also very strange to hear Shane announce Competitor No. 1's match as if he had booked it. Maybe their reign over the title will not be as fun as the hunt.
Usos def. Heavy Machinery, New Day, The Bar – It was a fun match, but nothing is worth investing too much emotionally. Usos are the next to fight Shane and Miz. I do not expect what they earn, but we will see.
You know, if it was not for the Daniel Bryan segment, I'd put a bad mark on that. There was not a lot of struggle in the series and nothing was particularly entertaining. Fortunately, Bryan is a huge goober and Samoa Joe can speak worse than anyone in the world.
Grade: B-
And now, Cageside, a few days of well-deserved rest from the WWE. What did you leave on this episode?
