411’s WWE Smackdown Report 6.25.15

*Welcome, tonight’s WWE Smackdown is in Toledo, Ohio. The only announced match for tonight is Sheamus vs Dolph Ziggler.

 

*We start with a recap of Raw with Heyman’s promo, Rollins’ apology to Kane and J&J and The Authority’s beat down of Brock Lesnar.

*Jey Uso is on commentary tonight.

*Rollins comes out with Kane and Joey Mercury. He says they burned Suplex City to the ground. He says he knows it might’ve been uncomfortable for the fans, but change is a necessity to grow in life. He uses himself as an example. He went from The Shield to WWE Champion because of a change he made. He calls Kane and Joey Mercury his true brothers. He calls Mercury a genius for masterminding the beatdown of Lesnar on Raw. Noble is out with injured ribs, and Seth dedicates his match tonight to Noble.  They’re going to celebrate. Kane had a great night the past few weeks of Raw. He is forever the Devil’s Favorite Demon. Kane says whether your name is Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose or BRRRROOCKKKK LESNNARRRRR, if you cross the Authority, there are consequences. He says Big Show is not here tonight due to cowardly actions by Ryback. We get footage from Raw where Ryback and Big Show fought backstage. Kane asks Ryback to join them in the ring. Ryback says Big Show didn’t want to hear what he had to say, so he showed him what he can do. Rollins says he endangered WWE Employees and that’s not how a champion acts. He says Ryback can take lessons from him. Ryback says this is what a champion looks like. He says there’s a difference between a champion and a sell out. A champion stands and fights and stands by the fans. A sell out runs and hides and then plays nice when Lesnar is in town. He says he wishes Ambrose had Ryback’s grip at Money in the Bank, because then we’d have a real champion instead of a gutless child like Rollins. Kane interjects and books Ryback vs Kane tonight. While walking up the ramp, Rollins turns around and says he’s sick of the lack of respect he’s been getting. He is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He challenges Dean Ambrose to a match in the main event. He’s going to show the world not only is The Authority back, but they always win.

*Dolph and Lana are on their way to the ring as we go to break.

He asks for Lana to stop all this and come with him. He’s begging and says he’ll kiss her the right way. Lana turns her back and Rusev yells in Russian. Lana walks to the ring and Rusev says he’s done. This is it. Ziggler turns around and ducks a Brogue Kick and rolls up Sheamus for two. Sheamus takes control with a suplex onto the top rope and a knee that sends Ziggler to the outside as we go to commercial. We come back from break with Ziggler fighting out of a chin lock. He hits the ropes and runs into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Sheamus goes to the 2nd rope and then goes to the top. Ziggler jumps up and leaps to the top rope and brings Sheamus down with a facebuster. Ziggler hits a few strikes and whips Sheamus and goes for a superkick.
