\nCharly Caruso informs Randy Orton that he will be facing Alberto Del Rio tonight. How will he stay focused on Lesnar? Lesnar may be big and bad, but it “only takes one RKO to get to Viperville.” Alberto Del Rio walks up and calls Viperville a joke, like something from Disneyland.<\/p>\n

** I still think Orton trying to force “Viperville” to get over is really dumb, but I’d visit it if it were at Disneyworld. Or a zoo or whatever. That actually sounds pretty cool. **<\/span><\/p>\n

Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nBray Wyatt and Erick Rowan make their way to the ring. Bray tries to make it clear that he was a victim last week. Ziggler cheated (by using an exposed turnbuckle). But Bray is a god, and you can never kill a god. SmackDown is his show now. There is no red, there is no blue, there is only Bray Wyatt versus the world.<\/p>\n

Dean Ambrose heads towards the ring. He thinks it’s amusing that Bray is now claiming to be a victim. SmackDown doesn’t belong to Bray Wyatt, it belongs to the people and to the WWE World Champ. Bray asks Ambrose to enter the ring, but Ambrose hesitates.<\/p>\n

Ziggler comes out, passes Ambrose, and runs into the ring. As Ziggler gets double-teamed, Ambrose slides into the ring. As the four brawl, Ziggler ends up kicking Ambrose and then takes Sister Abigail from Wyatt.<\/p>\n

** I liked it. The kick from Ziggler to Ambrose looked good, and Bray Wyatt keeping himself involved in this story makes things very interesting. I like that Ziggler went in to fight when Ambrose didn’t. This whole segment showed different sides for these characters, especially Bray and Ambrose. Bray is claiming to be a victim, Ambrose used his brain yet hesitated in a fight. **<\/span><\/p>\n

Backstage<\/em><\/span>
\nAmbrose tells Ziggler that he didn’t need his help and he’s pretty sure the kick wasn’t an accident. Ziggler says running in wasn’t about Ambrose. As they get in each other’s faces, Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon tell them that they will be partners tonight when they face Wyatt and Rowan.<\/p>\n
