WWE Smackdown Live Event Recap, Oakland, CA, 2/13/17

While the rest of us were glued to our televisions watching Raw as the “Festival of Friendship” and Bayley’s Raw Woman’s Championship dreams unfolded in front of us, WWE fans in Oakland, California got to enjoy a Smackdown live event. It was the night after Elimination Chamber and there were two new champions showing off their titles at the event.

Doesn’t Bray Wyatt look awesome with that belt?

The women of Smackdown faced each other in a 6-woman tag team match featuring Naomi, Becky Lynch, and Nikki Bella squaring off against Alexa Bliss, Carmella, and Natalya. The faces came out on top during this encounter, but Natalya certainly got her spots in during the match.

James Ellsworth accompanied Carmella to the ring, he actually makes a pretty good valet. They should keep using him in that capacity. He’s like if Mr. Fuji and Jamie Kennedy’s character from “Malibu’s Most Wanted” had a baby.

Alexa Bliss was caught taking a nap on the outside during the 6-woman match up. But she probably had a long night after dropping her shiny blue belt to Naomi in Phoenix.

Dolph Ziggler was in Oakland in all of his heel glory. He defeated Kalisto in a match much to the chagrin of the Oakland crowd. Although, Ziggler does still have a fair amount of supporters. After all, in today’s day and age if you’re doing a heel gimmick correctly then you’re going to still win over a portion of the more intelligent fan base.

Dean Ambrose put his Intercontinental Title on the line against Miz, Baron Corbin, and AJ Styles.

Dean Ambrose might have pinned Miz in the end of their fatal 4-way match to retain his Intercontinental Title, but Mike Mizanin still had time to talk on the microphone before the match and garner plenty of heat in the process.

John Cena was in the house as well. Super Cena teamed with Luke Harper to defeat the team of Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton.

There were a few more tweets from last night that caught our attention, but we didn’t have room to fit them all in the article above, but since we love you guys so much we’re giving them to you anyway. Happy Valentines Day from Still Real To Us!
