WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES, THE LONG NIGHTMARE OF WWE LITIGIATION IS OVER, A NEW TAG TEAM EMERGES, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2020-10-23 21:59:00

We are in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Corey Graves.

Kevin Owens is in the ring for the KO Show.

Kevin asks if everyone is where they are supposed to be and then he welcomes everyone to the first KO Show on his new home of Smackdown.  Kevin says his first guest is a former 4 time WWE Champion and one of the most technically skilled competitors to set foot in this ring.  He brings out Daniel Bryan.

Kevin thanks Daniel for being his guest and for mentioning him last week on Smackdown as a person he would like to face.  Kevin says they have done it a few times in the past and they have beaten the hell out of each other.  Daniel says they pushed to make each other better and that is what he wants.

Kevin asks Daniel to elaborate on what he wants to see for the future of Smackdown.

Daniel says he wants Smackdown to spotlight the best talent.  They have nailed it.  They have the best fresh, young talent in the world.  You have people like Jey Uso and Big E who are stepping up each week.  He wants to see who will step up next.  Daniel says Smackdown would be better for everyone if there was a championship defended every week on Smackdown and it should be the Intercontinental Championship.  

Kevin says that is a great idea and he is flattered that Daniel would suggest him for this role.  Kevin says he wanted to talk to Daniel about championships and the Tag Titles.  Kevin says he has accomplished a lot in WWE but he has never been a tag team champion.

Daniel says that Kevin has betrayed a lot of friends.

Kevin says he wants to look past that and imagine what would happen if they were a tag team.  Kevin has a name for it.  Team Hell-KO.  Daniel says that would mean Kevin and Kane would be partners.  Kevin says they would be better than Daniel and Kane.

Dolph Ziggler's music plays and he comes out with Robert Roode.  Dolph says he heard them talking about hot fresh and young talent so he had to be talking about them.

Dolph says they love to party and he wants to know why they were not invited.  Robert says you are talking about a fantasy tag team but you should be talking about the two greatest acquisitions by Smackdown.

The Smackdown Tag Team Champions, the Street Profits make their way to the stage.

Montez asks if we are stating off like this.  Dawkins talks about Ziggler and Roode talking about being the new hotness.  Dawkins says they don't forget what happened last week.  Ford says they are excited to be on Smackdown.  

Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro make their way to the ring and Cesaro talks about the two men who carried this division are being disrespected.  

Daniel says they should test Kevin's theory about being a good tag team right now.

All eight men brawl in the ring and Adam Pearce comes to the ring with officials as we go to commercial.
