-Renee Young and Daniel Bryan talked about Dean Ambrose losing his chance at number one contendership at the onset of Talking Smack. They also recapped how Survivor Series was shaping up with several team developments occurring on this week’s Smackdown. Bryan said Natalya was off the Survivor Series team with her loss.
-Renee Young and Bryan argued over stretching Halloween so that it can be on Smackdown. Bryan objected. Bryan referenced Donald Trump after Young accused him of making a sexist comment. Bryan told us the producers told him to stop.
-Kane was the first guest of this week’s show. Kane said it wasn’t a good night for him after taking an RKO. He said he was surprised but it was his fault. He said Orton was a snake, it was his nature. He said it wasn’t just a name, it was who he is. Kane said he trusted Orton because Orton invited him into his issues with Bray Wyatt. Kane said the only other person he trusted was his brother The Undertaker and Daniel Bryan.
-Renee Young asked Kane if Orton telling Andrea D’Marco that “if you can’t beat them join them” means that Orton joined the Wyatt Family? Kane said he didn’t know. He said if Orton has joined the Wyatt Family smackdown will be a much darker place. Renee wanted Kane to elaborate more. Kane said Orton was one of the best stars in WWE. Kane compared Wyatt’s cerebral nature to Triple H in that they target the brain of their opponents.
-Kane said that Orton bit him but when you get bit by a snake you become. Kane said he was not a person you want to get angry because if he’s mad bad things happen, as Bryan knows. Kane walked after Bryan sent him away.
-Bryan said that a dangerous kane is dangerous to everybody. Bryan said he was Tombstoned on steps and tables as friends. Bryan said that Orton was vicious on his end and if you combine that with the Wyatts there was more danger for everybody.
-Bryan mocked Hell in a Cell by being sarcastic about there being multiple Hell in a Cell matches. He also made fun of the Universal Championship. He also said that the champion was only chosen by whoever Triple H chooses.
-Renee brought up “Dirty Dan” in reference to the Hype Bros. Bryan was excited that they qualified for the Survivor Series match. Bryan talked about the Bros taking advantage of their time on Talking Smack and would like to hear from the Ascension. Renee wanted to know about “The Wasteland” since Bryan mentioned that they only talk about the wasteland. Bryan said they were environmentally friendly at the wasteland. Bryan mocked the Ascension’s voices.
-Heath Slater and Rhyno walked on set. Renee wanted to know about the status of the Spirit Squad. Bryan said if they were champs now they would be on the Survivor Series team but the Squad’s future now lies in Shane McMahon’s hands. Slater and Rhyno wondered if they were on the team. Bryan said that was true if they keep the titles. Slater said he was determined, he has kids, and needs the job. Renee wanted their thoughts on the hottest tag team. Slater said of course it was “Beauty and the Man Beast”. Rhyno calmly said “that’s us”.
-Renee wanted an update on Slater’s living situation. Slater had papers with clipart flags and said he spent $100 on the Shining Stars Puerto Rico stock. Bryan said he doesn’t think you can buy stocks from Puerto Rico.
-Renee talked about Maryse fighting the Miz’s battles. Slater changed the subject about getting gypped by the Shining Stars. Bryan wanted to know about how Rhyno’s election was going. Rhyno said things were good. Bryan wondered if Rhyno helped Slater with his investments. Slater said “I Need Help!” Bryan then wondered where all of Slater’s money went because they started on the main roster at the same time, Slater and Bryan. Slater said you don’t wanna know what he spent the money. He said bad investments, vacations, partying with Beulah. Bryan wanted to know if Rhyno and Slater can lead Raw. Slater said he has to now with the bad investments.
-Bryan asked Slater if he and Rhyno could beat New Day. Slater mocked New Day using Freebird rules to be well rested. Renee brought up Gallows and Anderson. Slater said they were tough guys. Slater said he and Rhyno were now leading the charge into Survivor Series and will come out on top. Young wondered how they were going to lead an entire team. Rhyno said “Cheese Whiz and Crackers for all!” Slater said they were going to watch Rocky Balboa. Bryan sent them away and Renee Young recommended the cheese at catering.
-Renee brought up Nikki becoming the leader of team Smackdown. Bryan gave Nikki credit for doing a better STF than John Cena (which was true). He said it was an evolution of Cena’s move. Bryan said he would train Brie a lot in Wrestling and was sure John Cena is doing the same for Nikki. Bryan said things were getting interesting and what’s going to be hard is to get people to follower her. Bryan compared it to the election. He wondered if Alexa Bliss or Carmella would follow Nikki Bella.
-James Ellsworth was the next guest wearing his own t-shirt. He said he was embarrassed. Ellsworth said Dean Ambrose has made him a household name these past few weeks and his who life changed because of him. Ellsworth blamed himself for being selfish and getting Dean disqualified. Ellsworth said he thinks he will no longer be allowed on Smackdown again and was sorry to Daniel Bryan. Bryan brought up one of his last indie matches being against Ambrose and how Ambrose left him bloody. Bryan wanted to know if Ellsworth was concerned about his health and wellbeing. Ellsworth said he probably deserves it and Ambrose has to do what he has to do. Bryan wanted to know if Ellsworth was willing to take a beating. Ellsworth said he doesn’t know and can’t think straight.
-Ellsworth brought up being bullied for weeks and saw a moment to get back at AJ. Ellsworth said he wanted to support Dean just like Dean supported him but all he did was screw things up. Bryan wanted to know if he was friends with Ambrose. Ellsworth said probably not anymore. Ellsworth said he can’t blame Dean if Dean doesn’t accept his apology. Bryan said it was going to be okay and a bunch of positives were happening like a lot of people buying his t-shirt. Young closed the show after tying to give Ellsworth some encouragement…
John’s Thoughts: How can you not like James Ellsworth. This should be really stupid with AJ eating several losses from the chinless jobber guy, but there’s just something lovable about the guy. He also got a chance to sound extremely humble on Talking Smack. Overall, a decent show as usual and hopefully they keep this thing going.
