Isenberg’s Reaction: WWE Smackdown “Big Opportunities For Young Talent”

Dean Ambrose Gets Stretchered Out

wwe smackdownDean Ambrose is scheduled to face Rusev, but Rusev does not want to compete tonight. This gives Bray Wyatt a surprise attack and beats the hell out of Ambrose. He hits Ambrose throat first with a chair rammed into the steps. Ambrose gets stretchered out and Bray Wyatt shows how dangerous he can really be. 

This was really good. Simple. Logical and really effective storytelling. I think WWE could do more in this feud, but at least this is something that we have not seen between Bray and Dean.

It has usually been a back and forth battle, with Wyatt usually escaping. Now, WWE finally lets Bray get the upper hand. This can protect Ambrose at TLC if they want Bray to win. I still do not know who needs the win more. Both guys really need to put on one hell of a show. How does it end?

Is Naomi Something Big in the Making?

A quick match with The Miz and Jey, who could have worked so much longer. Anyways, this gave Miz a quick win. The more important thing about this means that WWE is actually giving some time for the feud outside of the ring. 

Earlier in the night, Naomi gets flowers from someone. She thinks its her husband, Jimmy. It says “apologies” and is from The Miz. WWE is actually letting the WWE Tag Team Champions have more of a story. They are developing a storyline outside of the usual “I don’t like you because you beat me.” Nothing in wrestling is new, but this is newer for pretty much everyone involved. I love seeing the exposure that Naomi is getting. She could be something big for this company. She also picks up a win after this over Brie. There was not too much to note aside from the assist from AJ Lee. Will they go with a Fatal Four Way at TLC? It could be better than the traditional 1-1 match.
