Welcome to 411’s WWE Smackdown Report 8.13.15

* Seth Rollins came to the ring to kick off the show with super promo talky time. Rollins said that we need to slow down and appreciate is greatness; he’s like Babe Ruth if he hit 1,000 home runs of if Michael Jordan won 20 MVPs. He tamed Randy Orton, stopped Sheamus, was able to bring Neville down to earth and then shattered Cena’s nose. He is so great that everyone here will remember him and tell their grandchildren about him. Rollins showed footage of Cena’s appearance on Tough Enough, where he accepted the challenge from Rollins. Rollins was not impressed though, and called Cena a coward for not accepting the challenge face to face. Neville interrupted, and made sure to remind Rollins that Cena may have gotten his nose broke, but he still beat Rollins in that match. He also said that Rollins wouldn’t be champion here tonight if Orton hadn’t stopped Sheamus on Raw. Finally Neville said that Rollins couldn’t even kick out of his red arrow. Angry champion is angry now as Rollins said that Neville failed to defeat him, which led to Neville mocking Rollins for talking too much. Cesaro made his way out, which led to Kevin Owens attacking him and then Rollins brawling with Neville. So then, we all know what that means…

Charlotte w/Becky Lynch vs. Naomi w/Sasha and Tamina: Charlotte tries to WOO at Naomi and promptly ate a bitch slap. She got fires up and attacked, knee to the gut and then a slap from Charlotte.
