WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: AJ HAS TO BE HAPPY NOW, PANCAKE DAY WITH THE NEW DAY, CHARLOTTE CONTINUES HER REDEMPTION TOUR, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2018-02-13 21:59:00

We are back and Bobby Roode comes to the ring.  He says that when he won this title, he wanted to be the greatest US Champion in history.  He wants to start a tradition started by the man he wants to surpass, John Cena.  Say what you want but John Cena defended this title week in and week out against anyone and everyone.  It gives him great pride and respect to say that the US Open Challenge will continue.  The Open challenge is for anyone in the locker room.  For tonight, he is hoping the man who accepts his challenge and meets him face to face, rather than coming out here and hitting him with an RKO out of nowhere.

Match Number Three:  Bobby Roode versus Randy Orton for the United States Championship

Before the match can start, Jinder Mahal comes out with Sunil Singh.  Jinder says that the people respect you, but the people in the back do not.   Jinder says that they have had their ups and downs and he even beat Randy for the WWE Championship.  Jinder says he respects Randy.  He says the rest of the Smackdown roster think that Randy has already peaked.

Randy gets a mic and he says he doesn't give a damn about any top ten list.  He never will. 

Jinder says he does not believe that.  After sixteen years in the WWE, you are number one.  Jinder points out that after six months, Bobby Roode is number five.  You have spent all of your time perfecting your craft and you are beaten out by an arrogant newcomer.  Jinder says that Bobby Roode already fancies himself as a future Legend Killer.

Bobby says those are some pretty big words for someone who couldn't even make the top ten.  Bobby says Jinder didn't make the list because nobody respects you.  Speaking of respect, he has nothing but respect for what Randy has done.  If you want to know his opinion about why you are only number nine.  Maybe it is because everybody is sick and tired of being attacked out of nowhere.

Randy asks if he means something like that and Orton gives Sunil an RKO.  Mahal gives Roode a Khallas and then he does the same to Orton.

We go to commercial.

We are back and we have a table in the ring and there are a lot of pancakes.

The New Day make their way to the ring and they throw pancakes.

Kofi says today is a very special day.  Today is Shrove Day aka Fat Tuesday aka Pancake Tuesday.

Xavier says in order to celebrate their most favorite holiday, Big E will destroy the record of eating 113 pancakes in 8 minutes.  Xavier asks Big E to tell everyone how he feels and Big E says he feels good.  Kofi wants to know who wants to see Big E beat this record.

Big E starts eating pancakes but he is interrupted by the music for Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin.

Chad says this is great and awesome.  Chad says when he was training for the Olympics this is what he dreamed of being part of, a pancake eating contest.

Shelton says he thinks this is great.  What the New Day is doing for pancakes is phenomenal.  They should take it on the road.  Shelton says they could open their own version of IHOP.  Shelton says they can leave the tag team division to a couple of serious competitors.

Xavier asks if they are saying Kofi is not a serious competitor.  He asks if they are saying that Big E is not a serious competitor.  He asks if they are saying that Xavier is not a serious competitor.  Xavier reminds everyone that they set the standard for longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions.  Who wants to see Shelton and Chad as champions?   

NOBODY

Chad tells them shush.  He says they have a serious side.  What if he did this (and he throws a pancake on the mat).  What if Shelton did one of those (he tosses a pancake to the mat).  Shelton says he would flap their jack.

Big E tells them not to touch their cakes. 

Chad says he has some news for the New Day.  Nobody likes pancakes.

Shelton says from now on they are eating waffles.  They knock the plate of pancakes in the air.
