Smackdown – July 2, 2015: The Early Bird Catches The Same Old Smackdown
This is the full review as I watched the show already and did this in advance. There might be a few little bits here and there that I missed, but it would probably be Tough Enough stuff etc. If there’s anything major, let me know.

We open with a recap of Rollins giving the Authority all their presents on Monday, leading to the Authority and Wyatt beating down Reigns to end the show.
Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt
Adam Rose and Rosa Mendes are in the ring to call the entire audience jealous of him, only to be interrupted by R-Truth.

Recap of Cena vs. Cesaro on Monday with Owens coming in for the DQ.
Mark Henry disagrees and says Ryback is disrespectful.
Mark Henry vs. Ryback
The Stooges show off some Apple Watch features.
Brie Bella vs. Naomi
This is described as a match between the stars of Total Divas. Brie slaps her in the face to start and a chase on the floor lets Brie get in a clothesline to take over. Back in and the BRIE MODE minus obnoxiously shouting BRIE MODE knee to the face gets two but Naomi slaps her in the face. Turnabout being fair play and all that jazz. Fox trips Naomi up though and the Bella Buster is good for the pin at 3:59.
Prime Time Players vs. Ascension
Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns
The beating is on but Ambrose comes out for the save, allowing for a big double beatdown on Mercury as the other two bail to end the show.
Results
Bray Wyatt b. Dean Ambrose – Sister Abigail
R-Truth b. Adam Rose – Lie Detector
Ryback b. Mark Henry – Shell Shock
Brie Bella b. Naomi – Bella Buster
