WWE Smackdown Results
January 22nd 2015
Report by Bill Pritchard for Wrestlezone.com
Daniel Bryan comes out and says he could talk about his match against Kane tonight, and he could also talk about how he’s spent every day thinking about winning his WWE Championship back. He says he could talk about Sting being on RAW, or how the Authority still sucks, but he won’t, because John Cena did something really important and he knows some other guys who have something better to say. Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan are welcomed to the ring, and Ryback says this is his dream, passion and life, and no one takes that away from him. Ryback says thanks to Sting and John Cena, and the WWE Universe, and they all reminded the world the Authority sucked, and their games are over, just like he is.
Rowan takes the mic and says being gone was sort of a blessing, because he had time to think and he used to be a different person, and he was a naive puppet. He says he’s seen himself in a new light the past few weeks, and he knows who he really is. Dolph cracks a few jokes before he says he was so close to proving he belongs on top, and he proved himself at Survivor Series but the Authority took it away. Dolph says the Authority feels threatened by them, and he’d rather take any punishemnt they can give him here, as long as it means he’s not sitting at home bitching on a podcast about not working. The Authority cuts them off and Seth Rollins says this Survivor Series reunion is cute, but they replaced Superman Cena with a little garden gnome in Daniel Bryan. Dolph says that it’s funny seeing Rollins without his nose up Triple H’s ass, then they trade a few barbs before Dolph dares him to come to the ring.
Rollins says he’s got more important business to deal with, then Dolph talks about how fast Rollins ran away from Brock Lesnar on Monday. Kane cuts him off and says they are being very disrespectful, and Bryan still has to go through him tonight if he wants to be in the Royal Rumble. Bryan says he has a better chance than Kane did against Lesnar on Monday, then he plays some highlight clips and Big Show takes offense and says he will destroy them on Sunday. He says first Bryan needs to make it past Kane, and Kane says Bryan knows what he’s capable of, but Dolph is itching for a fight, so he’ll face the man who took his Intercontinental Championship right now.
