My Thoughts on SmackDown (2/14/17): He's Got The Whole World In His Hands

• We kick off the show with the new WWE Champion Bray Wyatt! The crowd chants "You Deserve It!" before Wyatt says Sister Abigail told him this would not be easy. He says he knew he would be WWE Champion one day and now he truly has the whole world in his hands. He says he will lead us to paradise and welcomes us to the era of Wyatt. Outcomes John Cena, who says Wyatt's fans are brainwashed. He says Wyatt has a target on his back now and says he wants his rematch right now. Outcomes AJ Styles, who says he's getting his rematch before Cena does. He says he's beaten Cena several times and he knows he can beat Bray Wyatt, so he wants his rematch right now. Outcomes Daniel Bryan, who decides to book a triple threat for the WWE Championship tonight; Bray Wyatt vs John Cena vs AJ Styles.
• Backstage, Dean Ambrose looks for Baron Corbin.
• American Alpha vs The Ascension-Thankfully, Konnor ditched that goofy Immortan Joe-looking mask he wore at Elimination Chamber.
  
  Seriously, look at it! It's like half the size of his head! Gable & Viktor start with Gable taking control with mat wrestling. Gable continues to control the match until all four men get in the ring and fight ending with a double diving clothesline by American Alpha. Gable & Jordan clothesline Konnor & Viktor out of the ring before the commercial break. We come back to Viktor working over Gable with a side headlock. The Ascension continues to work over Gable until Gable makes the tag to Jordan. IT'S JASON JORDAN HOT TAG TIME BITCHES! Jordan suplexes the Ascension around the ring before Gable makes the tag. Jordan goes for the spear in the corner to set up Grand Amplitude, but Viktor dodges it. This allows the Ascension to hit the Nuclear Fallout, a sky lift slam, on Gable for a near fall. The Ascension set up for the Fall of Man, but Jordan runs in to stop it before American Alpha hits Grand Amplitude for the win. Pretty good match. After the match, the Usos appear on the big screen, who tell American Alpha to watch their backs.
• Backstage, James Ellsworth asks Carmella to go on a Valentine's Day dinner date with him, but Carmella shoots him down. Dean Ambrose, still looking for Baron Corbin, comes over and says Carmella is using him. Daniel Bryan comes over, so Ambrose asks for a match against Ellsworth tonight. Since they have unresolved issues, Bryan agrees and books the match.
• James Ellsworth with Carmella vs Dean Ambrose-Before the match, James Ellsworth & Carmella come out to the ring. He tells people not to boo Carmella before Ambrose's music hits. Ambrose comes out...being dragged by Baron Corbin. The two fight by the stage before Corbin plants Ambrose with the Deep Six through a table.
• Backstage, Daniel Bryan talks to Nikki Bella before Natalya walks up. Another fight breaks out before security breaks them up. Bryan angrily books them in a Falls Count Anywhere match next week.
• Baron Corbin gets interviewed. He says it's Dean Ambrose's fault that he's not WWE Champion, so now it's his fault that Dean Ambrose is in the hospital.
• Renee Young interviews Dolph Ziggler. He says he's not a sore loser and he's not done yet. He says he'll wipe out the new generation if he has to and no one will take his place.
• Becky Lynch vs Mickie James-Mickie takes control to start until Becky takes her to the ground. Becky gets a near fall off a jackknife cover before going for the Dis-Arm-Her, but Mickie gets to the ropes. Becky gets two more near falls before shoving Mickie out of the ring. Back in the ring, Becky continues to control the match, working over the arm. Becky sends Mickie out of the ring again with a springboard side kick and follows her out, where they both go down off a double clothesline spot before the commercial break. We come back to see Mickie working over Becky back in the ring. Mickie continues to work over Becky until Becky fights back and runs wild, hitting a leg lariat, a spin kick, and the Bexploder for a near fall. Becky gets a near fall off a roll up, but Mickie comes back with a flapjack. Mickie goes for a flying nothing, but Becky dodges and hits another Bexploder for a near fall. Becky sets Mickie up on the top rope and sends her to the outside again. Becky gets Mickie back in the ring, but the ref keeps her away when Mickie complains about her shoulder. Becky lowers her guard, which allows Mickie to hit the Mick Kick for the win. Fine match, nothing special.
• Renee Young interviews the new SmackDown Women's Champion Naomi in the ring. Naomi reveals she got a knee injury during her match against Alexa Bliss on Sunday. She says her injury won't keep her down and she'll bring the title to her hometown of Orlando at WrestleMania. Outcomes Alexa Bliss, who says Naomi got lucky on Sunday and she's faking an injury to justify her future loss. She says she wants Naomi to bring her whole family to WrestleMania so she can show them what a real champion looks like. Bliss gives her a choice; either give her a rematch for the title next week, give her the title straight up, or she'll beat Naomi down and take it herself.
• Bray Wyatt (c) vs John Cena vs AJ Styles-WWE Championship-Before the match, Wyatt is attacked by Luke Harper, who gives him a superkick. The match starts during the commercial break and we come back to see Cena go for the Five Moves of Doom. However, Wyatt cuts off the Five Knuckle Shuffle by yanking Cena out of the ring and throwing him into the stairs, only to get taken out with a diving forearm to the outside from Styles. Back in the ring, Styles strikes away at Wyatt, hitting a running forearm for a near fall. Wyatt cuts off Styles momentum with a shoulder block before throwing Styles out of the ring. Cena gets back in the ring and goes through the Five Moves of Doom, but Wyatt counters the AA and goes for Sister Abigail. His attempt is cut off by Styles, who hits the Phenomenal Forearm on Wyatt. Cena then gives Styles the AA, but only gets a near fall. Wyatt pops up and hits Sister Abigail on Cena, but Styles breaks up the pinfall before the commercial break. We come back to see Styles jump off the barricade onto Wyatt, who was laid out across the announce table. The table doesn't break, so Styles goes back up on the barricade and hits a diving leg drop through the table. Styles goes for the Phenomenal Forearm on Cena, but Cena catches him, hits an AA and rolls through for another one, but Styles counters it and locks in the Calf Crusher. Cena escapes the hold and locks in the STF, but Wyatt breaks it up with a senton onto Cena's back. Wyatt tosses Styles out of the ring before setting up Cena for Sister Abigail. Cena pops up, however, and hits an AA, but Wyatt kicks out at two. Styles re-enters the ring and hits the Styles Clash, but Cena kicks out at two. Styles goes for the Phenomenal Forearm, but Cena knocks him off the top rope and sends him to the outside, only to turn right into a Sister Abigail. Wyatt makes the cover and gets the win to retain his title. Fantastic match, a great way to close the show. After the match, Randy Orton comes out and comes down to the ring. He says that even though he won the Royal Rumble, he refuses to face Wyatt at WrestleMania. The two pose to end the show.
