* Daniel Bryan kicks off SmackDown to a big pop. Bryan declares that he will be in the Intercontinental Title Match at WrestleMania 31. It ends up being Bryan, Bad News Barrett, Dolph Ziggler, Luke Harper, Dean Ambrose and Stardust all in the ring. R-Truth appears on the stage with the IC Title belt while the others brawl in the ring.
* Los Matadores, Tyson Kidd and Cesaro defeated Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and The Usos in an eight-man tag match that was said to be really good. One of the Matadores pinned Kofi to end it.
* They air a lengthy John Cena vs. Rusev video on the big screen.
* Ryback vs. The Miz is next. Miz told Damien Sandow to stay backstage. Ryback wins a short match that had "we want Mizdow" chants.
* Roman Reigns makes his way through the crowd and comes to the ring. He addresses Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar. A returning Mark Henry interrupts and comes out to the ring. Henry tells Reigns that he needs to earn the respect of the fans and the other guys in the locker room. Reigns ends up laying Henry out with a Superman punch and then spears him on the outside of the ring. The crowd was probably split 60/40 in favor of Reigns.
* They air a promo for Bray Wyatt vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
* Paige and AJ Lee vs. Summer Rae and Cameron with The Bella Twins on commentary is next. Paige gets the win for her team after making Summer tap out. Paige, AJ and The Bellas argue after the match but no punches are thrown.
* Mark Henry is interviewed backstage. He doesn't believe Reigns can beat Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania.
* They previewed a Randy Orton interview earlier and said it would air on the show but it must be something that will be edited into the broadcast.
* Daniel Bryan, Dolph Ziggler and Dean Ambrose defeated Bad News Barrett, Stardust and Luke Harper in the main event. Bryan got the win for his team after hitting the knee on Harper. Michael Cole interviews Bryan, Ziggler and Ambrose in the ring after the match. They start showing jealousy to each other and Ambrose leaves after calling Bryan a turd. Ziggler also calls Bryan a turd and leaves Bryan by himself in the ring. Bryan asks fans if he's a turd and they start a "no!" chant. Bryan thanks fans to end the show.

Well, that was a traumatic three hours of not knowing what Bryan was doing, wasn't it?

I don't mind Daniel Bryan going after the IC belt. I know people say R-Truth is "the best/only good part" of this but I really, really feel would feel like his antics are what's making this look like a step down for Bryan.

I know it's a part of wrestling but, the "every f***** and their mother gets in the ring" promo never ceases to lose my interest quickly.
I believe that these promos have been happening since 1997. 18 years and this still opens up shows with next to no variety.

Well considering Bryan's other options were
1) vs Sheamus 2) In the throwaway jobber infested Andre the Giant Battle Royal 3) Cheeleader for Roman Reigns 4) Not making the card 5) Eating a big sandwich in the delapidated remains of WWF New York
I'll settle for a spot in the ladder match.

No it's the mix of goofballs, as a whole, that makes it seem like no big deal for everyone.

Yeah, it's usually either heel authority figures or it's a group of people that appear to say "I'm going to be the champion!" in these kinds of promos.

Well f***, I was hoping he'd end up in Roman's corner at Mania just for the shit storm and to see what WWE would do, meaningless IC Title match just makes this show even more skippable.

Whatever, that place is a Hard Rock Cafe now, so getting a free sandwich is like a $50 value.

I had my heart set on Roman Reigns hype man Daniel Bryan, dressed like Jose Lothario but carrying Ricardo's little bucket from 2013 pro immigration face Del Rio.

Sheamus should be in the ladder match too. He'd certainly be a good addition to the match. Have a feeling he'll enter the Battle Royal and have him win that on his return.

No it's the mix of goofballs, as a whole, that makes it seem like no big deal for everyone. The only other two guys in the match I'd consider "goofballs" are Cody, who really should be in a higher position anyways, and Harper who can compensate with his size. Yeah Barrett is the "jobber champion", but the dude really carries himself like a star and could do big things with that belt if only he wasn't losing so much. And Bryan, Ziggler, and Ambrose's involvement should make this a bigger deal than it is if not for Everyone playing hot potato with the belt.

Why not both Them using Bryan solely to keep Roman from getting booed seems more crazed and would draw a more visceral reaction I think.

If you're in this hot potato with the belt mix you're a goofball. Kinda like how it's the goof troop when they have the roster stand on the stage. A match full of nobodies.
