Big E and Kofi Kingston worked together on WWE Main Event tonight as an official tag team. The two have paired together in recent weeks a few times, but tonight was the first time they were given a spotlight and put over as a brand new force on the roster.

Perhaps more importantly, Big E and Kingston were escorted to the ring by a new manager – WWE and NXT Superstar Xavier Woods – who was dressed up in a white tuxedo and barking orders at the new, surprisingly viscous tag team. They ended up getting the win over another new duo in Heath Slater and Titus O’Neil (dubbed “Slater Gator”), using a combination backbreaker-double foot stomp maneuver

If you could show one match from Japanese wrestling to someone, like myself, who is wants to expand beyond the WWE Universe, what would it be?

@DCAllAmerican  , you are not allowed to answer this question. #HeelAF1

Single again, so need a pick me up.

This is a good start:

Sorry for the double post but, bruh.

Look at the way bae arches that thang out...Jynx Maze style

Would be piping that from the back while Punk is tied up to a Pabst Blue Ribbon IV, watching in horror.

Fired up Main Event after reading that report about my new favorite stable and they're leading off with Rollins/Fandango.

If you think about it, this Shield breakup storyline is stupid as hell in some aspects...Reigns, the "most dangerous" former member, gets constantly put within arms' reach of the most important title in the world by the Authority and wouldn't recognize Ambrose or Rollins if they passed him in the hallway while the man handpicked as the future of the business gets to fend off a bloodlusting lunatic hell-bent on long-term revenge with no backup and fight a spurned wrestling ballroom dancer on the #3 show.

Pays to side with the boss, right?

Give me a ******* break...or a writing job.

Show looking healthy.

Apparently this happened at tonight's SmackDown taping. It was the dark match but I'll put it in the Spoiler anyway.

Spoiler

Full SmackDown spoilers

Spoiler

* SmackDown opens with a recap of the segment with Triple H, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman on RAW.

* Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. The Usos is up first. The Usos get the win after Axel gets pinned. It appeared Ryback was upset after the match and walked away, leaving Axel alone in the ring.

* MizTV is next. The Miz comes out and it turns into an Intercontinental Title acceptance speech. His parents are in the crowd and he asks his mom who her favorite Superstar is. She says Roman Reigns to a big pop. Miz goes on bragging until Bo Dallas interrupts to another big pop. They both compliment each other until Dolph Ziggler comes out. Ziggler cuts a promo but Bo interrupts him and tells him to Bo-lieve. Bo then decks Ziggler with a mic.

* Bo Dallas vs. Dolph Ziggler with The Miz on commentary is next. Ziggler hit a Fameasser at one point but Bo kicked out. The Miz distracted Dolph from ringside, allowing Bo to get the win with a roll-up. The Miz then attacks Dolph until Bo joins in and they double team him.

* Backstage promo with Roman Reigns and Renee Young. Reigns took shots at Randy Orton and Alberto Del Rio.

* Cesaro vs. Dean Ambrose in a No DQ match is next. Ambrose brings in a bunch of steel chairs. They brawled with kendo sticks and chairs throughout the match. This was described as a very "ECW-esque" match. Seth Rollins came out and attacked Ambrose. Ambrose gets the upperhand and throws Rollins through the timekeeper area. Ambrose comes back in but Cesaro hits a superplex on top of a pile of chairs. Cesaro goes for the pin but Ambrose counters with a roll-up for the win. Rollins comes in and beats Ambrose down after the match.

* They sell the beatdown by having medics come out and check on Ambrose. They help Ambrose out of the ring and he gets a big pop going up the ramp.

* We get promos for the AJ Lee vs. Paige feud and for John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam.

* Paige vs. Naomi is next. Paige comes out and skips like AJ Lee to mock her. Cameron comes down to watch the match from ringside. Paige wins by submission and after the match, Cameron comes in to attack Naomi.

* Backstage segment with Goldust and Stardust.

* Bray Wyatt defeated R-Truth. A chant for Chris Jericho broke out during the match. Wyatt cut a promo after the match and took shots at Jericho.

* They aired more promos for the SummerSlam main event.

* Alberto Del Rio vs. Roman Reigns is next. Del Rio gets no love from Florida fans. Reigns gets the win with a spear. SmackDown ends with Reigns celebrating.

Henry should be recruited, not an automatic IMO. Have Woods and co make it as if they need Henry to legitimize themselves (ala he is their Farooq)

And then as they get stronger over time, they'll all turn on Henry (who in turn is now a face) because he's not needed any longer.
