Welcome to 411’s WWE Smackdown Report 3.05.15

* Dolph Ziggler is out to kick off the show. Ziggler is wearing the stolen IC Title to the ring. Ziggler says that the title looks good on him, and why he doesn’t hold grudges, he has to discuss that he never got the rematch for his IC Title when Barrett won it from him. Unfortunately he saved the day one too many times where Authority is involved. The title means a lot to him, and now the title is where it belongs. He is entering the IC Title ladder match at Mania. But someone is missing, someone he wants to share the big stage with and blow the roof off of the place with. He starts hinting at Daniel Bryan, the crowd chants YES, but then Barrett comes out. Barrett says that Ziggler has something that belongs to him. Ziggler makes jokes that Barrett wants charisma, a good looking face and a ton of twitter followers. Barrett cut him off and said that all of the guys stealing the title can keep doing their children’s games, but he is still the champion. He tells Ziggler to give up the title or he will take it from him. Luke Harper appears and attacks Ziggler from behind. Barrett enter the ring to get the belt, but Harper stands on it to stop him. They then play tug of war and Ziggler attacks. They brawl, and here comes Dean Ambrose. He and Ziggler clear out Barrett and then Harper decides to bail to fight another day. Ziggler and Ambrose face off over the title, but then they brawl more with Barrett and Harper. R Truth sneaks out, does a somersault on the floor and then army crawls into the ring and gets the belt and hides under the ring all while the others brawl. Ambrose and Ziggler then look dumbfounded when the can’t find the belt. Truth comes out from under the ring and heads up the ramp as they all see him. I think we all know where this segment is leading…

* Renee Young catches up with Truth and asks him about stealing the title. He says that is a harsh word to use, and that if he has the title now he won’t have to climb the ladder at WrestleMania. He realizes the error of his ways, and tries to give the title to Renee, but she refuses. He then goes to find someone to give the title.

* The champions gave an interview earlier in the day, and claimed that they were the best tag team in the WWE today and tell anyone that want to challenge them at Mania that they will have to earn it.

Look at Lesnar, everyone he faces he hurts and or takes out. Reigns knows he will feel pain and get hurt, but he will take everything Brock has and will stand up, lock and load and hit him on the button. He’ll then cut him in half with the spear and win the WWE Title. Believe that.
