WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: THE DRAFT BEGINS, SETH GOES ON A ROAD TRIP, ROMAN YELLS, AND MAYBE A LITTLE WRESTLING

By Richard Trionfo on 2021-10-01 21:57:00

We are in Baltimore, Maryland and your announcers are Pat McAfee and Michael Cole.

Sonya Deville and Adam Pearce make their way to the official draft announcement podium.

Sonya says the first pick is for Smackdown and they take Roman Reigns.

Adam Pearce announces that Raw is choosing Big E.

Sonya says that Smackdown has selected Charlotte Flair.

Adam announces that Raw has selected Bianca Belair.

Universal Champion Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring and he is joined by the object of Kayla Braxton's affections, Paul Heyman.

Roman says as the back of the shirt says, we the ones.  It is because I am number one.  Roman tells Baltimore to acknowledge him.  

Paul says that isn't loud enough for Roman.  Paul says it does not surprise him from a room of Baltimorons.  It should not surprise the number one draft pick.  Before Extreme Rules, we had to say the UNDEFEATED demon, but not any more because that demon went up against an exorcist named Roman Reigns.  Like a shark that circles around the Island of Relevancy, this shark only looks forward.  This shark looks forward to Crown Jewel which will not be held in Suplex City because Paul assures you that beast will come up against the Suplexorcist, Roman Reigns.

Roman Reigns will remain your Universal Champion and he will smash at Crown Jewel Brock Lesnar.

If you say his name, his music plays and Brock Lesnar makes his way to the ring.

Brock bounces in the ring and he has some words with Roman but there is no mic so we cannot hear.

Roman punches and kicks Brock but Brock with a German suplex or two.  Brock clotheslines an Uso and then hits a German suplex on the other.  Roman goes to the floor.

Brock wants Roman but Roman is not allowed in the ring after leaving it because he did not have an unlimited ring entry pass.

Brock picks up Jimmy and hits an F5.  Roman tells Brock not to do anything to Jey and Brock gives him an F5.

Charlotte Flair is in the back and Kayla Braxton is ready to interview her before her dance on Dancing wtih the Superstars.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Kayla Braxton is with the current Raw Women's Champion Charlotte Flair.  

Kayla asks how will things change for Charlotte now that she is on a new brand.  Charlotte tells Kayla to congratulate her as the first women's pick of the draft.  Charlotte says that Fox knows who they need.

Corbin introduces us to Madcap Moss.  Corbin says he is there to keep him happy.

Match Number:  Kevin Owens versus Baron Corbin (with Madcap Moss)

Owens attacks Corbin as the bell rings and he kicks Corbin in the corner.  Owens clotheslines Corbin over the top rope to the floor.  Owens teases a dive to the floor but Corbin runs away.  Moss trips Owens as Owens chases Corbin back into the ring.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Owens with a kick and enzuigiri.  Corbin runs into a boot and Owens with a tornado DDT for a near fall.  Owens wit a kick and he goes for a stunner but Corbin with a rollup for a near fall.  Corbin with Deep Six for a near fall.  Corbin punches Owens.  Owens with a chop and Corbin with a punch.  Corbin with a forearm and Owens bounces off the ropes and connects with a forearm.  Owens with an Irish whip and Corbin goes for a Happy Slide but he runs itno a super kick.  Owens with another super kick and cannonball for a near fall.  Owens goes up top Corbin goes to the floor so Owens follows after Corbin.  Moss distracts Owens and Corbin with End of Days on the floor.

They return to the ring and Corbin with End of Days for the three count.

We take a look back at the Smackdown Women's Championship match.

We go to commercial.

Next week we will see the starts of the King of the Ring and Queens Crown Tournament on the season premiere of Smackdown.

We are back and the draft continues.

Sonya announces that Smackdown has picked Drew McIntyre.

Adam announces that Raw has selected Randy Orton and Riddle.

Sonya announces that Smackdown has drafted the New Day.

Adam announces that Raw has selected Edge.

Kayla Braxton is in the back with Drew McIntyre and he has his sword.   Kayla asks Drew what is his mindset now that he is on Smackdown.  Drew says he is proud of what he accomplished on Raw.  Drew says he started on Smackdown and he was so immature as the Chosen One.  Things did not work out and there is unfinished business.  Drew says there is a dark cloud over the show and it is time to flip over the table.  He says he is coming after the Universal Championship.

Edge, the newly drafted member of the Raw roster, makes his way to the ring.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Edge thanks Baltimore for the reaction.  He says earlier today, it dawned on him and he is the only person here who was on the first episode of Smackdown.  It has felt like his home, but he was drafted to Raw.  It will be a challenge and that brings him to Seth Rollins.  You saw that Seth hit the stomp on him three weeks ago and he was stretchered out of MSG.  Seth has challenged me and he knows that i am not cleared.  Seth knows if I accept that challenge, he enters the match with an advantage.  Seth knows he has to accept the challenge.

Edge says he is almost at 100 percent and if Seth wants me to say that he is better, he better come to the ring.

Seth appears on the TitanTron and he says he is impressed that Edge said he would be at Smackdown.  There you are in the center of the ring.  There is one small problem.  You are not saying that I need you to say.  You are not announcing your retirement, you are not saying that I am not Edge Light, and you are not accepting my challenge.  I do not believe what you say because you are a liar and I am not.  I am an honest man.  I am not at Smackdown this week.

In fact, I am . . . we see Seth outside Edge's house.

Seth knocks on the door but the door is unlocked.  Seth says he knows that Edge lives in the middle of nowhere, but lock your doors.  Seth walks into the kitchen and checks out the fridge.  Seth takes some orange juice and an apple as he sits down at the table.

Seth admires Edge's kid's art work. Seth makes his way into the hallway and he sees the kid's backpacks.  Seth says that Edge is a lucky man.  We move into the living room.  Seth says he could stay here all night and then he litters.

We go to Edge in the back and he calls Beth and tells her to go to her brother's.  Edge tells Beth that Seth is at the house and he is calling Daniel and David.
