They’re ready in advance. We are in the busy season for WWE and that means things are taking place on a regular basis. You don’t know what you are going to see from one day to another but there are rare instances where things are known in advance. That is the case this week, as WWE had to tape a show in advance due to some upcoming travel plans for the roster.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Come On Back? WWE Discussing Bringing NXT Star Back To Main Roster In New Role
WWE taped the February 23 edition of SmackDown this week as the roster will be traveling to Australia for Elimination Chamber. The show featured multiple matches which were announced in advance during this week’s show, including Bron Breakker’s in-ring debut as an official member of the SmackDown roster. Here are the spoilers for the show according to PWInsider.com:
Liv Morgan vs. Tiffany Stratton: Bianca Belair was at ringside. Tiffany wins with a cradle after Liv and Bianca collide.
Bron Breakker vs, an unnanounced opponent (Dante Chen): Bron wins in a squash. I didn’t see the finish because I turned my head for five seconds.
Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonough vs. Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne: Bate & Dunne win with a double power bomb on JD. Post match, Finn Balor and Damian Priest come out and try to attack, but Bate & Dunne slide out, get away, and hit Dom & JD in the entryway on their way to the back.
Street Profits w B-Fab & Bobby Lashley vs. Authors Of Pain w Paul Ellering, Scarlett, & Karrion Kross: AOP win with the power bomb/neckbreaker combo. Kross pushed Montez Ford off the top leading to the pin. Lashley attacked Kross after he interfered, but Kross smashed Lashley’s elbow into the post a couple of times and then hit the arm with a chair while it was against the post.
LA Knight vs. Drew McIntyre: Reunion of The Rising, just missing Micah! Before the match starts, Logan Paul comes out for commentary. Aboutbl five minutes into the match, Kevin Owens comes from the back and joins commentary. There was no announced decision. Drew was thrown into Logan, then Knight was thrown into Owens, Owens attacks Drew. Then KO, LA, Drew, and Logan all fight in the ring. Bobby Lashley, with his elbow taped, comes out from the back and spears everyone except Drew, who hits a claymore on Lashley. Then Randy Orton comes from somewhere that I didn’t see and hits Drew with an RKO out of nowhere to end the show.
This should be good. Check out what they are following:
