Cesaro w/Shinsuke Nakamura vs Shorty G

Cesaro had a hard time getting out the gate on SmackDown, as Shorty G ran in for several pitfalls, including an incredible top rope moonsault getting him a near fall.

Shorty G started to work on the leg of Cesaro, but the Swiss Cyborg shoved him off and clobbered him with a clothesline. Cesaro's pure strength managed to cut off any early attempts at a comeback, leading to Cesaro catching Shorty G running in for a rolling kick and getting planted with a falling powerbomb.

Cesaro took his opponent to the top for an avalanche German suplex Shorty G landed on his feet and locked in the ankle lock. Cesaro rolled through, sending him into the ropes and clobbering him.

Grade: B-


Afterwards, we were shown some footage of Otis and Mandy Rose enjoying a pool day. Otis went to swim while Mandy enjoyed a nice nap. She began dreaming of Otis getting out of the water, Fast Times at Ridgemont High style, and she couldn't get enough.

She saw a vision of herself and Otis kissing beneath the rain, before being woken up by a splash from a cannonball. She wasn't too bothered by it, though, and entered the pool to make out with Mr. Money in the Bank.


Kurt Angle was brought in to talk about the next face of the brand, a man he worked with on NXT. It would be none other than Matt Riddle. We were shown a vignette of the Original Bro, the hard hitting, good time having MMA star.

The former NXT Tag Team Champion is the next Superstar to join the Blue Brand.

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviewed Sheamus, who was upset about the brand being more excited about Riddle than himself. Sheamus said that his brand is no place for the weak, and went on to talk about Daniel Bryan, before Bryan himself came out to confront him and uh...kick him in the shin. Kind of rude.

A top WWE star is missing in action
