10 Biggest Talking Points From WWE SmackDown (Aug 9)

10. Same As It Ever Was

Following the end of last week's Smackdown, it was pretty obvious that this week's main event was going to pit Dean Ambrose and Dolph Ziggler against Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan. Sure enough, that's what happened, and it's fine. In order to get there, though, we had to sit through some repetitive promos.

Bray Wyatt and Erick Rowan were out first, and Wyatt's been cutting the same promo for three years. It's not so much his fault - the fact that he never wins any important matches means that his character is totally stagnant. Nevertheless, Wyatt came out complaining about his loss, but acknowledging that he was a "god" and you can never kill a god. Okay.

Wyatt continued to go on about how he has no allegiance to Smackdown or Raw - it's simply him versus the world - until Ambrose finally interrupted. After that, Dolph got involved and we got the brawl we needed to set up the main event. Dolph, though, accidentally leveled Ambrose with a superkick, creating a question as to how the heroes could possible coexist.
