WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: LUCHA DRAGONS VERSUS KIDD AND CESARO, KEVIN OWENS TALKS ABOUT ELIMINATION CHAMBER, FROM RAW OPENER TO SMACKDOWN MAIN EVENT, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2015-05-28 21:57:06
We are in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and your announcers are Byron Saxton, Tom Phillips, and Jerry Lawler.

Dean Ambrose makes his way to the ring and he has something to say.

Dean says he was told on Monday night by the fine folks in the Authority that the match was not official because it was made under duress. It would be official if he signed a contract. The Authority always has a Plan B. This week’s Plan B was to get Dean arrested for assaulting an innocent camera man. He was handcuffed, read his rights, thrown in the back of a paddywagon and hauled off to Long Island’s finest cell. Dean says jail is never a fun place to be.

Dean says all he could think about was ways to torture Seth Rollins for putting him in there. The cops came in and told him he had one phone call. Would he order a pizza? There is only one person who he could trust and who would have his back. Dean says he called Roman Reigns. Dean says he cannot miss his chance to face Seth Rollins, so buy him some time.

Dean wondered how he would get out of the jail cell. A miracle happened, thanks to WWE’s Youtube Channel. The Youtube footage showed that the innocent man was pushed into him. Seth became a viral video star just like his hero Justin Bieber.

Dean says he was freed and he happened to make fans with the police. After a few autographs, he was given an escort to the arena. Dean was allowed to drive the paddywagon. He raced back to the arena because there was nothing that was going to get between him and his match against Seth Rollins.

Dean says his name is on that contract and on Sunday, he gets Seth Rollins in the ring. There is no running or hiding. Just two men beating the hell out of each other. Dean says he will beat the hell out of Seth Rollins on Sunday, just like he is going to tonight. There will be a fight on Sunday for the richest prize in our industry and when the dust settles, the reign of Seth Rollins will be over and the Age of Ambrose begins.
