Smackdown SPOILERS 8/27

Wyatt Family promo opened the show. Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper talked up Braun Stroman as the new member of the family. Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose came down and confronted them in the ring and they backed down to end the segment.

The Ascension cut a promo running down the Dudley Boys. The Dudley Boys then came down to face them to a huge pop.

(1) The Dudley Boys beat The Ascension with the 3D on Viktor. They were going to put Connor through a table when New Day came out with anti-Dudley signs. They then put him through the table anyway as New Day watched on in horror.

Kevin Owens promo backstage. He gave his thoughts on facing Neville tonight. He said he's wanted it since Neville stuck his nose in his business two weeks ago on Smackdown. Owens said tonight we'll see what kind of hero he really is.

(2) Kevin Owens beat Neville with the pop-up powerbomb in a solid match after hitting a superkick on the apron.

Becky Lynch and Charlotte ran into the Bella Twins backstage. The Bellas tried to turn them against Paige, but they wouldn't fall for it. They will wrestle later tonight.

(3) Charlotte & Becky Lynch beat The Bella Twins (Divas champion Nikki & Brie Bella) when Charlotte pinned Brie with a pinning combination. This was fine. Team B.A.D. came out for commentary during the match, but they did not get involved. The crowd chanted "We Want Sasha" at one point.

WWE World Hvt. champion Seth Rollins cut a long promo on Sting and promised to finish him off at Night of Champions.

Sheamus cut a promo backstage saying he would beat Dean Ambrose tonight with the brogue kick.

(4) IC champion Ryback & Dolph Ziggler (w/Lana) beat Big Show & Rusev (w/Summer Rae). Rusev was a jerk to Show, so Show had enough and knocked him out when Rusev had Ziggler in The Accolade. Ziggler then rolled his arm on top of Rusev for the win.

(5) Sheamus beat Dean Ambrose. Ambrose was on the verge of winning when the lights went out and The Wyatt Family surrounded the ring. The distraction allowed Sheamus to win with the Brogue Kick.

After the match, Reigns came out to help Ambrose, but Braun took care of him. The show ended with The Wyatt Family standing tall over Reigns. The Wyatts then left when their hard cut played.

Once Smackdown ended, Ambrose called Bray back to the ring. Seth Rollins ended up jumping him from behind and cut a lot promo about how he's the best. Ambrose then blocked two Pedigrees and hit Dirty Deeds to end the show. He then celebrated all around the ring and up and down the aisle to end the taping.
