AT FORD CENTER<br \/>\nAIRED LIVE ON FOX<\/h3>\n<p><em>Announcers: Michael Cole, Corey Graves<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>[HOUR ONE]<\/h3>\n<p>-They aired the opening theme, then went to the live arena where the augmented reality scoreboard said they were at \u201cFord Center\u201d (because, predictably, they\u2019re excluding that they\u2019re in Evansville, Ind. because it\u2019s not cosmopolitan enough). Cole didn\u2019t say they were in the city and nothing on the screen indicated what city they were in. (They\u2019re such snobs. But Ford is a big car company, so they\u2019re willing to put that up on the scoreboard. )<\/p>\n<p>-Miz made his way to the ring for Miz TV. They briefly went to Cole and Graves on camera who talked over a replay of the Kofi Kingston win over The Miz last week followed by Miz attacking Kofi with Big E making the save. Cole said Miz was despondent over thinking he\u2019d never get his hands on The Fiend.<\/p>\n<p>-Miz TV: Miz introduced the segment as usual with the crowd chanting along. He said people are saying he has changed. Miz said he was just having a bad day last week, he hasn\u2019t changed. He said Kofi was trying to cheer him up with positivity and trying to get him to smile, but you don\u2019t always want to smile. He said sometimes when people want you to smile, you just want to punch them in the face. \u201cAnd that\u2019s exactly what I did,\u201d he said. When some people cheered, he told them not to cheer that. He said he let his emotions and temper break through. He apologized to Kofi. He said he\u2019s been going through a lot this month. He talked about what The Fiend did to his 18 month old daughter. He said he failed to gain an opportunity to take from The Fiend what he cherishes the most, the Universal Title. He said there is a bright spot, though. He said someone he considers a brother has returned. He introduced him as the biggest guest in Miz TV history. He called him the Prince of Parkour and the Shaman of Sexy, John Morrison.<\/p>\n<p>John Morrison walked out to his old music. Cole said it\u2019s been eight years since he\u2019s been in WWE and he talked about his title history. When his music stopped, the arena was silent. Then there were scattered cheers. Then, after some encouragement by Miz, a \u201cWelcome Back!\u201d chant got a little momentum. Miz said he overuses the word sometimes, but \u201cthis is truly awesome!\u201d He said he and Morrison are the greatest tag team of the century. Miz then threw to a video highlight package of Morrison in WWE. Then Miz welcomed him back from the bottom of his heart.<\/p>\n<p>Morrison said it feels great to be back under the bright lights. \u201cI don\u2019t know what to say,\u201d he said. He said WWE was filming a documentary on his comeback at the Royal Rumble and a special ring entrance with a bunch of Pomeranians, because in WWE \u201cthere can only be one big dog.\u201d He said when he saw what Miz was going through and they had the talk when they were on a podcast, it was time for him to be there for him, one of his best friends. He said they talked again after what happened with Kofi, and he realized he\u2019s disappointed. Pause. \u201cIn you guys.\u201d He pointed at the fans. He said Miz has one bad day and they all chant \u201cyou suck\u201d at him. Morrison said Miz has worked harder for 15 years than anyone else on the roster. He said nobody thought he\u2019d make it as a WWE Superstar, yet he made it as a WWE Champion. He said despite that, he\u2019s Miz\u2019s dad\u2019s fourth favorite wrestlers. Morrison said they ignored all of that hard work. He said Miz does what he does for them, not himself or his dad. \u201cYou don\u2019t appreciate it,\u201d he said. \u201cYou guys have never been in the ring.\u201d He pointed at a fan in the front row and called one a \u201cturd\u201d and another \u201ca douche bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kofi Kingston and Big E then came out to their music dancing and tossing pancakes to the crowd. Graves said he was enjoying Morrison turning a mirror on the fans like that. Kofi asked if he was really trying to blame \u201cthe WWE Universe\u201d for turning their backs on him. Big E said Miz is such a bad actor, he couldn\u2019t even get booked as the back-end of the human centipede. Kofi said he\u2019d respect him more if he stopped at having a bad day. Kofi said everyone has had a bad day and that would have been respectable. Miz said what he respects that Kofi was WWE Champion for six months. Kofi smiled. Miz added, \u201cI also respect the six seconds it took you to lose it.\u201d He said he also respects that he chooses to smile and not go back after the WWE Title after losing it. Kofi said, \u201cOnce again, it was eight seconds, not six.\u201d He said Miz is changing from Cool Miz to Obnoxious Annoying Miz. He said what that means is the people are correct when they say he sucks. For no apparent reason, New Day\u2019s music played and then Cole plugged Kofi vs. Miz was up next.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2562174933\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: It\u2019s a relatively small gripe, but I wish WWE would write a reason into these segments for music to play. It feels too much like a play coming to end of a scene when out of nowhere, with no apparent prompt that everyone is finished, when the music of one of the wrestlers starts playing. It just screams to viewers \u201cthis is fake, it was all scripted, and the last actor said his last line so now we\u2019re playing music to let you know the scene is over.\u201d As for Morrison, he\u2019s as socially awkward as ever, speaking to a rhythm of another universe. I\u2019m glad Miz is heel again, and I\u2019m thankful there was an actual turn. Kofi joking about losing in eight seconds and not responding to Miz pointing out he didn\u2019t care enough to be sad or demand a rematch doesn\u2019t take WWE off the hook at all for how awful they treated Kofi, and more so Kofi fans, with how that title reign was concluded.) [c]<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(1) KOFI KINGSTON (w\/Big E) vs. THE MIZ (w\/John Morrison)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Morrison and Big E were on commentary. Cole asked Morrison if it\u2019s a mere coincidence that his return happens just as Miz changes his attitude. Morrison said Miz hasn\u2019t changed, the fans have. He said Miz is authentically himself, always. He told Cole if he had any friends, he\u2019d know friends are there for each other. Graves told Cole to stop badgering their guest. Morrison asked Big E if he has a family. Big E said no he doesn\u2019t, but that\u2019s a personal thing. Morrison said that\u2019s why he doesn\u2019t understand what Miz is going through regarding The Fiend. Morrison asked Big E how many title shots Kofi gave him when he was champion. Big E said when Kofi became champion, they all became champion. Kofi dove onto Miz at ringside at 4:00. Miz shoved Kofi into the lap of Big E. Big E popped up and then so did Morrison. They argued. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Back live, Kofi rallied and landed a Boom Drop as Morrison and Big E leaned on the ring apron at ringside. He played to the crowd. Miz blocked a Trouble in Paradise. Kofi came back with a crossbody block off the top rope for a two count. Miz came back with a DDT for a two count. Kofi came back with an S.O.S. a minute later for a near fall. Miz put Kofi in a figure-four a minute later. Kofi grabbed the bottom rope to force a break. Miz shoved Big E from the ring apron with his boot as Big E was tending to Kofi at ringside. Graves said he didn\u2019t think that was wise. Miz and Big E jawed. Morrison then leaped off the ringside steps with a flip dive. Miz then gave Kofi a Skull Crushing Finale in the ring. Cole said Miz is more dangerous now with Morrison around. They replayed Morrison\u2019s dive at Big E.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Miz in 12:00.<\/p>\n<p>-Cole said Lacey Evans vs. Sasha Banks \u201cis going to finally go down.\u201d Graves plugged Braun Strowman vs. Shinsuke Nakamura. Cole plugged the main event tag of The Usos vs. Baron Corbin &amp; Dolph Ziggler. Cole noted it\u2019s the first time the Usos will be on Fox.<\/p>\n<p>-Firefly Funhouse: Bray Wyatt told everyone not to be scared and invited the camera to be closer. He said, \u201cI love you.\u201d He smiled and said, \u201cThat felt good!\u201d He said love is so special, but not everyone is worthy of it. \u201cI\u2019m looking at you, Daniel Bryan.\u201d He said whatever the opposite of love is, that\u2019s the way He feels about Bryan. He said lately, He\u2019s been pretty naughty. \u201cReal frickin\u2019 naughty,\u201d he said. He said at first He just wanted Bryan to remember. Quick clips aired of Bryan in the Wyatt Family. Then He wanted to change him. They showed Him pulling Bryan under the ring. He said now since Bryan wants to take His title, He wants to hurt Bryan. No puppets this week. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-Cole hyped WWE Backstage on FS1 with The Usos coming up this week as special guests.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1063145450\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Backstage, Sonya Deville enthusiastically told Mandy Rose she\u2019s going to be in her corner rooting her on. Mandy said she just had to take care of one thing first. Deville said that\u2019s fine, she\u2019d see her there. Rose then opened a giant white box and peeked inside. I\u2019m quite sure it wasn\u2019t Erick Rowan\u2019s pet since she smiled with satisfaction (unless she\u2019s secretly a total freak).<\/p>\n<p>-Elias stood mid-ring with his guitar. He said he wanted everyone to clap along for tonight\u2019s song. He said it feels good, doesn\u2019t it? \u201cRoman Reigns, winning the Rumble. Not if Elias has anything to say. See, I got nothin\u2019 against The Big Dog. He\u2019s gonna lose like Randy, A.J., and Ricochet. Let\u2019s not forget about Erick Rowan. Whatever\u2019s in that cage, it can\u2019t escape. It\u2019s got to pretty horrifying to look at. Could it be worse than a Lana-Lashley sex tape. Probably not. Brock Lesnar thinks the roster is unworthy. He made that much clear. Well, Brock, it\u2019s easy to hide behind that opinion, especially given the fact that you\u2019re never here. How does Elias compare to a guy like Brock. For one, I\u2019ve got a personalty, and unlike him, I\u2019m not afraid to talk. So when I beat him for the title, I\u2019ll gladly show Brock the door. But first when it comes to the Royal Rumble, I\u2019m gonna show him what WWE stands for.\u201d He thanked everyone for walking with Elias.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Um, okay. I guess Elias is being eliminated by Lesnar in two weeks. The lyrics were clunky start to finish. That was pretty much word-for-word what Elias had to work with.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Tucker told Otis backstage that he knows how he feels about Mandy, but he has to let it go and focus with the Royal Rumble match coming up. Mandy walked in with that white box. Tucker told Otis it was time to go. Otis stuck around. Mandy apologized to him and gave him a cake that said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d It had a bulldozer toy on it. Otis seemed touched. She gave it to him, then left for her match.

They said something about saying friends despite the rules of the Royal Rumble. The announcers talked about Otis\u2019s reaction to Mandy saying he was sorry. Rose shoved Bliss in the face on a break in the corner. She shoved her a couple more times. Bliss snapped and went on the attack with a barrage of kicks in the corner. When Sonya stepped onto the ring apron, Nikki grabbed her leg. Sonya kicked her. Bliss then knocked Sonya to the floor. Rose then went after Bliss when her back was turned. They hit each other at the same time a minute later and both went down. Bliss took control, but then Heavy Machinery\u2019s music played. Otis walked out with the cake, as Tucker tried to talk him out of it. Bliss looked at them, then Mandy rolled her up. Otis flickered his tongue at Mandy and then shoved cake into his mouth. Graves said he hopes Otis doesn\u2019t have the wrong idea about Mandy.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Rose in 4:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: I\u2019m enjoying the Mandy-Otis romance, even though I think it falls into the category of guilty pleasure.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-They showed Lacey Evans heading down the hallway for her match against Sasha next.\u00a0[c]<\/p>\n<p>-They showed the exterior of Ford Center. Cole said, \u201cIt is a rainy night here in Indiana.\u201d He didn\u2019t say Evansville. So for those keeping track: Indiana okay, Evansville embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>-Lacey came first. Then it was \u201cBOSS TIME!\u201d according to Cole. When Sasha\u2019s music played, Sasha didn\u2019t come out. Graves said it\u2019s a great veteran move to leave Lacey waiting. Bayley appeared on the big screen and said Sasha decided to take advantage of an opening at a music studio in Los Angeles. Bayley said the only reason she\u2019s there is that she\u2019s champion and she is contractually obligated to be there. (Does that apply to Brock Lesnar?) Lacey said she\u2019s ready to fight anywhere, \u201cespecially in the heartland of America.\u201d (Where exactly would that be tonight, Lacey?) Lacey said since Sasha\u2019s not there, how about she come face her for the title \u201cright here, right now.\u201d Bayley said Lacey can bark orders at her \u201clike the overbearing mother that you are, but I don\u2019t have to listen to you.\u201d Lacey heard enough and marched up the ramp to find Bayley.<\/p>\n<p>-They went to Cole and Graves at ringside to react to the situation. Then backstage Bayley attacked Lacey, ramming her with a door and throwing her over and over into the brick wall. Bayley told Lacey to put on her mom jeans and go home. Lacey fought back and stomped away at Bayley. A ref pulled her off of Bayley and told her to save it for the ring.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: So they advertise Lacey and Sasha and then deliver that? Something else must be going on.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Back to Cole and Graves at ringside, they pivoted to talking about \u201cThe Fiend\u201d Bray Wyatt vs. Daniel Bryan. They threw to footage from last week.<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage, Kayla Braxton (unidentified on screen) interviewed Daniel Bryan about what Wyatt said on the Funhouse earlier. Bryan said Fiend apparently wants a lot of things. He said he remembers everything from six years ago that happened between him and the Wyatt Family. He said he outsmarted him. Bryan said if Fiend wanted to change him, so be it, he does look and feel different, and he feels better and is more dangerous than ever. He said now The Fiend wants to hurt him. He said he has no doubt he will, but what The Fiend doesn\u2019t understand is that he can\u2019t break him. Bryan said what Fiend doesn\u2019t like is that he knows that he knows that he can be beat and can be hurt. Suddenly on the TV screen behind Bryan, the WWE logo was replaced by Ramblin\u2019 Rabbit who said he\u2019s a big fan, and he has a secret on how to beat The Fiend. Bray then showed up and squeezed Rabbit with his \u201cHURT\u201d glove on. \u201cRemember kids,\u201d said Wyatt. \u201cSnitches get stitches.\u201d He laughed uproariously, then switched to a sinister look and growled, \u201cLet me in.\u201d The image turned to The Fiend briefly. Bryan soaked up what he saw for a few seconds.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: I like the hint from Rabbit that Fiend has a weakness. Is it the mask? Is it the red lights? Is it cinnamon sticks? Bryan is really good with these old-school style fired up babyface promos.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Braun Strowman made his ring entrance. [c]<\/p>\n<p><strong>(3) BRAUN STROWMAN vs. SHINSUKE NAKAMURA (w\/Sami Zayn, Cesaro)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cole talked about the history of the IC Title starting with Pat Patterson in 1979. Strowman dominated early as the announcers talked about how important this match is for Strowman heading into the Rumble. Sami pulled Nakamura to the floor to recover and then yelled at Braun. Cole asked if Sami ever shuts up. Cesaro shoved Braun into the ringpost. Nakamura then kicked Strowman into the time keeper\u2019s area. \u201cSuddenly Shinsuke Nakamura is in control!\u201d said Cole as they cut to a break. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Braun caught Nakamura coming off the top rope with a clothesline. Then he checked Nakamura to the mat twice. Then he splashed Nakamura in the corner and pounded his chest with a forearm. Cesaro stood on the ring apron, but Braun knocked him down. Sami handed Nakamura the IC belt. Nakamura swung it, but Braun ducked. Braun then powerslammed Nakamura for the 1-2-3. Braun celebrated afterward with a bloody nose, holding up the IC belt. Sami snuck in and yanked the belt away, then scurried up the ramp to give it back to Nakamura.<\/p>\n<p>WINNER: Braun in 10:00.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Keller\u2019s Analysis: Decent match. Sami, Nakamura, and Cesaro make a good upper-mid-card heel trio.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-A vignette aired with Sheamus saying, \u201cRise over Size. Embrace who you are. Since his arrival on Smackdown, Shorty G\u2019s been saying a lot of things.\u201d He said he met that \u201clittle rat\u201d in the ring and showed him just how Smackdown is going to change. \u201cI knocked him down, and he did not rise again,\u201d he said. He said Shorty represents the ills and problems that have infested Smackdown since he\u2019s been gone. He said \u201csmall\u201d as if it\u2019s disgusting. He said \u201csmall\u201d isn\u2019t to be celebrated, but rather cornered, crushed, and disposed of. He said last week, he proved size does matter. Sheamus said since his return, he\u2019s ready to embrace chaos.<\/p>\n<p>-Backstage Bryan noticed a red gift box. He opened it and inside was a deformed bunny doll with part of its skull carved out. Graves said Bryan\u2019s got to be afraid of these mind games.<\/p>\n<p>-Roman made his meandering long ring entrance. They replayed what happened last week with another attempt by King Corbin and Dolph Ziggler to shove dog food in his face, followed by the Usos save. Reigns said 2019 was a blessed year. He said lately, though, he\u2019s been outnumbered, jumped, and embarrassed by Corbin and his crew. He said throughout his career, he\u2019s always had back-up. \u201cBut this time, I didn\u2019t need the help of friends. This time, I needed the help of my family.\u201d He said family came back and helped him last week. He said 2020 is his year. He said he\u2019s going on to win the Royal Rumble and headline WrestleMania for the fifth time. \u201cYes sir!\u201d he said. He vowed to do it with Jimmy and Jey, the Usos, who have been by his side since day one.<\/p>\n<p>The Usos then came out. They said it\u2019s great to be back on the blue brand. They said it\u2019s been tough being on the sidelines for five months, especially watching King Corbin with his Queen. He said they disrespected Reigns, and when you disrespect him, you disrespect the Usos too, and the whole family. Jimmy said kings come and go, but family stays together. King Corbin\u2019s entrance interrupted them. He was carried to the ring with Dolph Ziggler leading the way. Corbin said Reigns deserved that beating because he cost him his shot at the WWE Championship. He said The Big Dog is scared to face him one-on-one, so he\u2019s going to go hide in the Royal Rumble match.<\/p>\n<p>Corbin said if anyone is winning that match, it\u2019s The King. Reigns said he\u2019s not scared of him, and he\u2019d like to face him one-on-one earlier in the night at the Rumble, then celebrate later the winner of the Rumble. He said then everyone will know who the man is. Corbin accepted his challenge, but he said after tonight, he won\u2019t have any family because they\u2019re about to handle The Big Dog\u2019s two little bitches. The Usos dove onto Corbin and Ziggler at ringside. They cut to a break as the Usos and Reigns celebrated. [c]<\/p>\n<p>-They announced that next week Morrison will face Big E.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) THE USOS (w\/Roman Reigns) vs. KING CORBIN &amp; DOLPH ZIGGLER\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The heels were in control for the first few minutes. When the Usos made a comeback and Jimmy climbed to the top rope, Dash and Dawson ran out. Corbin then shoved Jimmy off the top rope as he was looking at the ramp. Ziggler then threw Jey into the crowd. They cut to a break as Revival celebrated. Cole wondered what he was paying those guys. [c]<\/p>\n<p>Back in the ring, Ziggler ate a superkick from Jey, who went back to the top rope. He splashed Ziggler, so Corbin jumped into the ring and threw him into the ringpost. He then threw Reigns into the barricade at ringside. Reigns recovered and speared Corbin. The ref DQ\u2019d the Usos for Reigns attacking a wrestler in the match.<\/p>\n<p>WINNERS: Corbin &amp; Ziggler via DQ.<\/p>\n<p>-Reigns pulled the top off the ringside desk and set up a powerbomb, but Robert Roode returned and attacked Reigns. He threw him into the ringpost, then gave him a DDT on the floor. Corbin gave Jey a Deep Six on the floor. The heels celebrated and trash-talked Reigns. Roode then gave Reigns a spinebuster onto the announce desk. Next, Ziggler landed a leaping elbow onto Reigns\u2019s chest. The desk collapsed.
