Smackdown May Week 1 2018

We start the show with MVP in the ring, talking about how he hasn't heard anything from EC3 all week, and he's still got the reins from last week, so he's about to start booking some matches, when EC3 interrupts him. He says MVP can calm down as EC3's here to relieve him of duty. He's got a new hiring!

Some sorta CFO$ bastardization of this theme plays to mixed reaction, and the new hiring Christopher Daniels appears! He shakes EC3's hand, talks about how he's eager to wrestle some of the great stars on this show like AJ Styles, Samoa J-- EC3 cuts him off. He didn't hire Daniels as a talent. He hired him... as the new General Manager of Smackdown, and announces that he will be wrestling for the Smackdown Brand going forward-- and also as his last act as GM he's added himself to the match between Rusev and Carmella this Sunday! Daniels protests that he doesn't want to be a damn GM but EC3 stresses that that's an ironclad contract and he must do his duty or be in breach... lawsuits are ugly, and gives Daniels some encouragement that he'll do fine as Daniels stands there, visibly upset. MVP hands Daniels a match layout he'd planned for the night to help him out as he also leaves, which mostly just makes him grimace as we cut to a commercial. (80)

We start with a four team match, The Revival vs The Bar vs The Club vs The Usos. After entrances, Daniels said with those 10 minutes of entrances he's had some time to think on this, and he's going to make this match a qualifier to battle Strowman and Hawkins + The Hardyz in a three way match for the Raw Tag Team Titles this Sunday! (66) The Revival seem thoroughly off their game, and are the target for all teams to try and beat to win. The Bar eventually put everything together to capitalize on their weakness and win the match as Cesaro neutralizes Dawson. (73) After the commercial, the Revival are looking real bummed backstage-- they're tired of being treated as irrelevant, losing all the time. They're wrestling machines! Disco Inferno comes to them... says he's got a great idea to turn their careers around. They're desperate enough to go along with him as they walk off frame together (42)

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn want a tune up match, they call out any team from the back out. Strowman comes out, says he's been looking for a tune up match too, calls anyone from the back out to come with him to be his partner. Fellow new Smackdown live member Hideo Itami shows up to be Braun's partner. (97) Hideo Itami proves to be a very capable tag partner. Capable enough that Owens and Zayn have their hands full-- they eventually get DQed for bringing chairs into the ring and laying waste to Strowman and Itami (78)

Daniels is backstage, comments how he hates the WWE and their stupid ass DQ matche-- just kidding he loves Double Double E! He announces that he's going to make EC3 earn that addition by defending his spot vs Finn Balor in the main event. Oh and also to dick with MVP's backlash card a bit more if Finn Balor wins he can make any match he wants, and also the winner of Mickie vs Bayley next segment will be added to the Smackdown women's title match, because why not (66) Kairi Sane shows up during the rant. She talks to him Japanese about Curry Man and SUGOI. Christopher Daniels is happy, talks to her back in Japanese a bit. Asuka is mentioned, and a handshake. Kairi leaves. Russo barges in, asks if Kairi has been signed and if she got her title shot. Daniels confirms this. Russo insists that, even if she hasn't mentioned it, the title match MUST be a ANDRE THE GIANT MEMORIAL ON A POLE MATCH, and it's in the IRON CLAD CONTRACT. Daniels blows him off. (60)
