7 Ups & 0 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Sep 10)
2. He Who Giveth Taketh Away
Edge vs. Rollins III isn't the only match WWE readied for Extreme Rules. Come main event time, they also pushed the idea that The Street Profits had The Usos dead and buried before Roman Reigns stormed in for the choke on Montez Ford and the cheap DQ finish.
Cue boos, but cue interest in a rematch.
This writer didn't think he'd be interested in Ford/Dawkins vs. Jimmy/Jey later this month. He was wrong. All four did a wonderful job of teasing what they're capable of, then Reigns looked like a total bastard for giving his cousins the easy way out after a solid year of crowing about everyone handling their own business.
The disqualification cut short a good match, and New York wasn't thrilled by it. They didn't dump all over that as much as heap hate onto Reigns though, which is promising. Plus, that necessary heat set the scene for Finn Bálor to run out. Well, not so much run but crawl...
