WWE SmackDown, 11th April - Results

WWE hit Layfette, Louisiana earlier this week to tape the latest edition of SmackDown.

The show opened with John Cena who used his the main talking points of Wrestlemania as a base to his promo. He spoke about Hogan, Rock and Austin starting the event, the shocking end of the streak and Daniel Bryan’s title win. He said that no matter how many wrestlers come in and enjoy the spotlight, he will in the end remain the top dogs in the company. No matter who’s on the road, to get to the top of the mountain they will have to get through him and the same applied even to Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania. Thankfully the Wyatts interrupted and Bray respected Cena’s victory but reminded him that this party is far from over. Bray said he will go to all ‘extremes’ to get the monster out of Cena.

Big Show vs Cesaro

Decent first match of the show. Big Show still looks fit and strong as he used to in the past. The newest Paul Heyman guy Cesaro was at his best in the ring and did well to make up to Show’s lack of pace. The match was back and forth with Show dominating the proceedings. Cesaro fought back with a few chokes and meaty hits and then as he was about to go for the Cesaro swing, Swagger attacked him from behind to lead to a disqualification.

Winner: Cesaro Via DQ

RybAxel vs Los Matadores

Remember how much hype WWE created before Los Matadores’ debut? Anyway, this was another good match. RybAxel were clearly the dominant team but the Matadores managed to fight back well enough to create some sort of an impression. Anyway this was a nothing match and didn’t seem to have any sort of relevance whatsover. Axel hit his signature neckbreaker for the win.

Winner: RybAxel
