WWE Smackdown TV taping report
May 15, 2012
Hershey, Pa.
Report by James Thompson & Jesse Myers, PWTorch readers

Dark Match: Dean Ambrose beat Jeff Logan, a local wrestler billed from Hershey. Ambrose came out and cut a promo asking the crowd if they knew who he is. After a loud "No!" he took on the local wrestler. Ambrose won with a DDT after four minutes.

The entire half of the non-camera side was tarped off to begin the NXT taping. A lot of Yes! chants by adults and No! chants by the children. Some Ric Flair woos were getting around as well.

NXT SPOILERS 5/16

William Regal and Josh Mathews came out for commentary.

(1) Johnny Curtis beat Percy Watson. Watson dominated, but Curtis won with an inverted suplex. Decent match and reaction for Watson.

(2) Great Khali & Ezekiel Jackson beat Curt Hawkins & Tyler Reks in eight minutes. Khali did a weird version of the Punjabi Plunge for the win. It looked awkward for Reks. (Editor's Note: This was Zeke's first victory on WWE TV in 2012.)

(3) Kaitlyn beat Maxine via submission. Good five-minute match. The Divas definitely look better in-person.

(4) Tyson Kidd beat Derrick Bateman and Michael McGillicutty in a three-way match. Kidd beat Bateman via submission for the win. Best NXT match ever. Kidd had some nice high-flying moves and even a backflip off the top onto Bateman and McGillicutty on the outside that wasn't quite flush. Kidd submitted Bateman after switching from the Sharpshooter to his new finisher.

Superstars SPOILERS 5/17

(1) The Usos beat Jack Swagger & Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero). Vickie Guerrero came out to strong heat. Ziggler was the star of the match, but Jimmy Uso won with a roll-up on Swagger. Swagger and Dolph argued after the match.
