WWE SMACKDOWN REPORT: WILL THE SHIELD FOLLOW EVOLUTION OR CHALLENGE THEM?; AN IN DEPTH LOOK AT THE NEW DIVAS CHAMPION; AND MORE

We are in Hershey, Pennsylvania and your announcers are John ‘Almond Joy’ Layfield and Michael ‘Mounds’ Cole. Vickie Guerrero is in the ring and she says that she has had direct contact with the Authority and they are taking a well deserved night off. Due to the disrespectful conduct of the Shield, they will have a tag team match later tonight. They will be facing Curtis Axel, Ryback, Alberto Del Rio, and the other eight people they faced last week on Raw. It is now time for the Great Debate. The participants are Zeb Colter, who is accompanied by Jack Swagger, and Paul Heyman, who is accompanied by Cesaro. Vickie says that both men have different opinions on many subjects. Colter gets to go first. Zeb thanks everyone and he says that he has some differing opinions with Paul Heyman. They are here to discuss what happened after Wrestlemania when he was ambushed by Paul Heyman and Cesaro with a change of plans that he knew nothing about. He says if Vickie starts to scratch and itch, it is the fleas coming off Paul and Cesaro. Zeb tells Cesaro that ten months ago, the people did not know your name. He says that Cesaro came to him and asked for help to be a part of the Real Americans. Jack did not agree with him, but they let him in. He nurtured and tutored Cesaro and molded him . . . Zeb’s time runs out but he asks Paul why he did this. Paul says that he likes the opportunity to clear the air as reasonable gentlemen without orders to show cause and having to appear before a judge. Paul says that it is important and incumbent upon himself that his client . . . BROCK LESNAR . . . conquered the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. He needs Zeb to understand that it was his client, Brock Lesnar, who conquered the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. Zeb tells Paul to stop. Paul continues to remind us that his client Brock Lesnar who conquered the Undertaker’s undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. Zeb says that he is not here to talk about Brock Lesnar. He cares about Cesaro. He wants to know if Cesaro knows Paul’s history. He calls Paul a liar and a thief. Paul would rather stand in a tree and tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth. He asks Paul why did he steal Cesaro away from the Real Americans. Paul says hard questions deserve hard questions. He says that he is the One behind the One in Twenty-One and One. When was the last time Zeb’s guy ‘won’. The last time a Zeb Colter Guy won was the Andre the Giant Battle Royal . . . Zeb says that Paul is wrong. Paul agrees because Cesaro was a Paul Heyman Guy at Wrestlemania. Paul says that it was his client, Cesaro, who won the Andre the Giant Battle Royal at Wrestlemania. Zeb reminds Cesaro that he entered him in the battle royal. He got Cesaro in the battle royal. Zeb says that he knew this was going to be a sham when he came out Zeb knocks over his lectern and he says that it is not between Cesaro and Swagger. He wants Paul to look him in the eye so he can settle this like men. Zeb pushes Heyman and Cesaro and Swagger have to hold their managers back. We go to commercial.

Whether you love to bring joy or suffering, you cannot deny that love is a delectable experience. It is a ravenous wildfire with beautiful flames. It is a divine wine that brings warmth to those who drink it in. You have to live it. You have to feel it. Get them to love you John, and then they will do anything for you. How does it feel now to know that you have lost their love. To know that they would rather see you suffer than see you smile. Bray says that he likes John’s style. This past Monday night on Raw, your people were given a choice. You could have given John a fair fight, but you didn’t. Instead you threw him to the wolves like a piece of meat. We have reached the threshold and it is fine time that you stop underestimating him. To consider him a man is a mistake. He is the nagging conscience of a world that has thrown itself away to mortal monsters. He is everywhere and he is everything. His words are not just words. His words are razor blades that cut deep and they are working. At Extreme Rules, we have a date with destiny . . . inside a steel cage. How fitting. Just like a few modern day gladiators fighting for the respect of our people. This cage represents everything that you stand for. It has led you right here to him. It is like a snake trapped with a rat in a box. He says that John has invited him here and John has not removed his venom. John’s nightmares have become his dreams come true. In my dreams, I hear them. In my dreams, I feel them. In my dreams, I see them. One by one, they will all follow me.
