We have reached the third leg of the WWE European Tour, it was Bologna, Italy's time to follow in the footsteps of Barcelona and Belgium. Let's Talk About this episode of SmackDown.
Randy Orton started the show, the crowd sang his song, it's nice to hear that particular trend continue wherever he goes, he was quickly interrupted by Kevin Owens, Owens cut a promo, he wanted to team with Orton and challenge for the tag titles, however, Orton had a different idea, he challenged Owens to a one on one match at WrestleMania.
Damian Priest & Jimmy Uso won the tag match against Drew McIntyre & Shinsuke Nakamura, Drew attacked Damian after the pinfall, it looks like they will be facing each other at WrestleMania this year, this is sort of a full circle moment if you really think about it, if you remember, Damian cashed in the Money In The Bank on Drew at last years event in April.
The Champion Tiffany Stratton & Challenger Charlotte had a sit down interview segment as the build to their meeting for the Women's Championship in Las Vegas continues.
The Samoan Werewolf Jacob Fatu & The Monster Braun Strowman wrote another chapter in their storied rivalry, the fight ended in a DQ win for Braun, when Solo and Tama got involved, Jacob wasn't very happy about that, meanwhile, LA Knight & Braun will meet next week for the United States Championship. YEAH!
Zelina Vega debuted new theme music, this was her first match on SmackDown since she was transferred from Monday Night RAW, Piper Niven won thanks to distractions caused by Alba Fyre and Chelsea Green. This story may not be over just yet, we shall see what happens next.
Randy Orton vs Kevin Owens is now official for WrestleMania 41.
The Storm arrived in Bologna, Jade Cargill fought the Women's Tag Team Champion, Liv Morgan. Naomi struck Jade with the tag title belt, Liv hit the Oblivion for the W. Naomi continued to attack Jade. Heel The Glow.
The New WWE Tag Team Champions,The Street Profits, like Zelina Vega, also debuted new theme music, their previous theme was much better, it is what it is, Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins celebrated with the crowd and then won the impromptu non title contest against Legado Del Fantasma. Shoutout to both teams, this was very good.
Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and CM Punk all had some choice words for each other which led to a fight, while Paul Heyman was watching, in the main event segment of the night, the triple threat looks official for the Grandest Stage of Them All. This is not just a prediction, it's a spoiler.
The coverage of the WWE European Tour continues on Monday/Tuesday (U.K Time) when Monday Night RAW takes place LIVE from Glasgow, Scotland. Until then, be sure to check out the archives on this website. YEET!
