Welcome to 411’s WWE Smackdown Report 12.26.14

* Hulk Hogan was out to kick off the show. Hogan discussed having good times on Smackdown, winning the tag titles with Edge and celebrating Bryan’s WrestleMania 30 title victory. But before Hogan could get too into his deal, Seth Rollins and his security force came out. Rollins said that Hogan was like “the Seth Rollins of the 80s,” but then said that he doesn’t belong in this ring any more. Hogan stated that he was in charge tonight, Rollins of course complained about the Authority being gone and even tried to make Hogan endorse him as the future of the WWE. Hogan said that he felt that Ziggler was a better choice as the future of the WWE, which brought out Ziggler. Ziggler agreed that Rollins was the future of the WWE, and that he should come back in another 10-years. Rollins was not impressed, and Big Show then came out. Show appreciates Seth’s intelligence, but says that sometimes you have to use brute force. He threatened to knockout Hogan and then Ziggler. Enter Roman Reigns, who threatened to punch Show in the mouth again. Hulk Hogan then made a tag team main event, because Teddy Long.
